Pilko Posted Thursday at 21:09 Share Posted Thursday at 21:09 5 minutes ago, Yorkie said: Gillespie literally doesn't count. Ruddy replaced Karius; it's perfectly fine to have a competent third choice goalkeeper. We tried to shift Dubravka but couldn't because he's rubbish, so we were stuck with him. Then we were forced to sign Vlachodimos to avoid a points ban because of anti-competitive rules. Ergo, no proper new goalkeeper. The window was crap but not everything has to be the fault of whichever person at the club you fancy slagging off from one day to the next. In that case, if Gillespie doesn't count and is cheap as chips as you're saying, why not just get a 6th keeper and not bother registering him? He's only for training anyway.

You can’t watch the drop off in results and performances without Pope last season and then not do anything about it. It literally cost us Europe.

It's on the club that they couldn't shift an ageing, rubbish, expensive Ashley relic who terminates his own loans? And it's on the club that the PL's anti-competitive rules forced us into making a deal which - as sods law would have it - required us to sign another keeper we didn't want? The Guehi fiasco is 'on the club'. The goalie situation I'm prepared to give them maximum grace for. If there's no PSR then we probably upgrade on Pope; let alone Dubravka. Honestly blows my mind that even an enemy as common as PSR still won't stop people from going after the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted Thursday at 21:19 Share Posted Thursday at 21:19 Dubravka starting after those horror shows last season is just another example of us being fundamentally poor sellers/shifters in the transfer market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll criticise when it's warranted; I literally did so in the post you quoted re Guehi. I thought the Trafford thing was conditional on us shifting Dubravka. We went back in for him even after Vlachodimos arrived iirc. And like I say, we're probably not even in for the likes of Trafford if PSR isn't a thing - we try to upgrade Pope.

I think Trafford would definitely still be a target tbh, seems very much in keeping with our targets under Howe (that’s not a criticism). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
