At best that's a very mild upgrade imo. This is how I feel. Unless we're bringing someone in who is very comfortable playing out from the back then I cannot see the point in replacing Dubravka tbh. (Henderson might be that but Pope probably isn't). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Agree if we bring in a keeper it should be to get us playing better footy at the back. It may well be that we are priced out of that this window if it's not a top priority. I wouldn't be shocked if we go for a promising young keeper to provide competition rather than shelling out, and I don't think shelling out for a slightly better but same style as dubs keeper feels pointless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It’s not just kicking that Dubravka is weak in. When things are going against us he often looks shaky and makes errors. I don’t think he always radiates confidence from the back. Whether Hendo is the right upgrade, I’ve not seen him enough to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about that but one of my work mates is a Carlisle United supporter, used to play for the youth team and still has connections down at Brunton Park. He told me today that he'd heard a deal was as good as done & Carlisle were buzzing about it because they're £2.5m in debt & when they sold Henderson they had a 10% sell on clause inserted.

Tiresias Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 https://fbref.com/en/players/3a949a25/Martin-Dubravka My stats head can't quite work out, he has very decent stats for expected goals against from goals against and per shots on target but his save % is very average.

I thought this back in January but our defence has been the best I've seen it, possibly ever, and Dubravka has been a part of it. He's cut his mental mistakes down to a forgivable level. I want a keeper who's quick to release the ball and can ping those flat, 80 yarders over the opposition defence. Otherwise it feels a bit sideways atm imo.

WillingtonMag Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Could be a good shout about maybe more of a forward filling the right side of the front 3 role, Howes mentioned in a few of his press conferences that we need to add more goals from open play so expect who ever comes In to be able to chip in with a few next season more so than Maxi.

Kid Icarus Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Was Dubravka really bad under Bruce or something? I've only known him as a generally very consistent safe pair of hands tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would be amazing signings for the toons Both would be great, but Raphinha is the better player right now and he's proven for two seasons now that he can do it in this league. If you had to pick one of them for the same fee than Raphinha is for sure the one to go for. That being said, can't see us signing either tbf. Think Raphinha is most probably heading to Spain, unless Leeds are willing to sell to a PL rival and Antony I could see end up with Ten Haag at Man United as they don't have a right winger.

He knows what’s best for his own lineups, not Billy fuck knuckle on Twitter. Enjoy the ride my friend! I was going to say the same -- this is going to be the most enjoyable and relaxing transfer window of maybe my entire life. January was exciting, but also stressful because of our league position. The second half of the season went better than anyone could have expected, which sets us up really well to sell the project. We have money and we're going to spend some of it. If we don't get a player it will either because we didn't want them or they chose somewhere else. Not because we weren't actually trying. I can't find much to be stressed about honestly.
