Not exciting, but nice to get a deal done.

 

Aye happy to be wrong about his potential but I'm happier to see proof the phones are working.

Not the most glamourous signing but at that alleged fee it's a great signing. The fee will even be offset by a Darlow or Woodman sale and Dubravka, Pope and Gillespie* is a much better pool of GKs than Dubravka, Darlow, Woodman, Gillespie. Was also surprised at how good he is at being a sweeper keeper, looking at some stats for the keepers in the top 5 leagues. His lack of real prowess in distribution and with his feet will hopefully by offset by a CB like Botman coming in, assuming that that eventually happens.

His lack of prowess in distribution could well be down to what he was asked to do at Burnley.

Was looking for some word associated inspiration to make a hilarious quip on his surname. The word association generator cut straight to the chase :lol:
