Lush Vlad Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Was Elliot playing in Krul’s absence when he was injured? Don’t remember him taking over as number one. But I do remember him playing a lot more often than he should have been. He was crap. Edited March 9 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Elliot was the definition of a backup, average at all aspects of goalkeeping, but English and good for the qota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 5 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: A keeper whose dislocated his shoulder is probably as important an area to replace as there is? Krul declined massively after he did his. The way we set up changes massively when Pope doesn't play. I don't think Pope had been great himself since his red card. I'd do it. This isn’t the first time Pope has dislocated his shoulder. Considering the FFP limitations we should probably give Pope a chance to prove himself.

SUPERTOON Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 8 hours ago, BonesJones said: Would love it, but seems like the wrong area to be spending what it would cost to get him. Agreed, although we don’t necessarily seem to sign what positions most think we need, more if a top target is available we will move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with keepers you have to strike when they are available. Look at how long Ederson and Allison have solved that position for Liverpool and City. It’s why Arsenal got Raya even though many thought they didn’t need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and I think we'll see this for 2-3 more years yet. We did it with Tino. The keeper we might earmark as the long term number 1 becomes available, we'll go and get him.

Similar to Livramento - we didn't need a RB last summer but if we think he's ultimately going to be our RB the long term then we might as well get him when he's available.

Yorkie Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 6 minutes ago, gbandit said: Woodman’s done very well at Preston right? Good on the lad Yeah, first choice there this season and last.

christ Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 53 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Did he keep a clean sheet on his debut when we beat Chelsea 😂 was not a sign of things to come, he was shocking. Aye. Made a couple of good saves which masked the fact he flapped at virtually everything that came into the box. He played a further 7 games that season, conceding 18.

gbandit Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Not sure where I sit on Pedro Neto. Would he be a massive improvement, yes. His age and technical ability are things that would work very well for us for years to come. I don’t see his value deteriorating that much over four years. However, it’s a huge fee and who the fuck knows what we’ve got to play with given the regulations. If signing him means that other key targets have to be put on hold then I’d probably prefer to go for an alternative outside of the PL that’s cheaper. I’d say RW is the most important position this summer though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
