Would rather have taken Ben Foster like, just for a bit more NUFC content on his Youtube. Probably a better keeper too.

 

Gillespie must be nowhere near the standard if he's not even trusted as a 3rd choice keeper. 

 

Watched him a few times for Carlisle when he was there. He was lightyears from being even a Championship keeper when he was first choice there and will probably be even more further away now.

Had he not had that god awful game in the Final he'd probably still be at Liverpool or atleast be at another Prem club so we could certainly do worse as back up.

Think they wanted a keeper that is accustomed to being higher up the pitch and quick off their line. Pope has been fantastic at that.

 

Karius was at both Man City and Liverpool ad is used to playing for teams with a higher line.

Yeah, he's been at both Man City and Liverpool and so does have talent.

 

That was a shocking night for him. Wouldn't have wished that on anyone really. Couldn't stay on at Liverpool after that under the kind of pressure that would have come with it.

Well he's better than Darlow, but this kind of thing was almost inevitable once Dubravka left.

 

Never seen Gillespie play to know if he's any good but would rather have Karius as a backup regardless. Yes he may have had a mare that night, but the point is he was good enough to be chosen for it in the first place.

Career at a high level was over for this guy after that champs league final, continued to drop clangers at Roma? I believe after he was shipped out of Liverpool. Luckily for us he probably will never play here.

 

With Darlow out for now it makes sense however.

Emergency loans shouldn’t be allowed TBH. You go in with what you got. If it’s Gillespie then so be it IMO.

It's not an emergency loan, the free-transfer window essentially ends today, as that's when squads need to be confirmed, and this is a free-transfer.

Hope Pope doesn't get injured or we are so fucked :lol:

 

 

Man, we've had moments where Dubravka and Darlow have had to play and looked ropey for us. It's not that deep.

Watched a YouTube video about him a few weeks ago funnily enough; "what happened to Karius", or somethingto that effect. Seems like he was mentally broken after that game and things have just been getting progressively worse for him.
