Pilko Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 So. Pope - Odysseas - Ruddy - Gillespie? Dubravka obviously on his bike. Must have put a pin in the Trafford signing for now as Odysseas was cheaper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Someone has to be available on short notice for the hilarious training pitch segments our social media group will be posting on youtube throughout the season. One year deal. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) 5 minutes ago, GeordieT said: The goalkeeping coach did his ACL towards the end of the season didn’t he? This might in part be about bolstering numbers on the training pitch. That might go some way to explaining it. Seems like Ruddy does have his coaching badges so would make a lot of sense that he comes in as basically a coach. Edit: just see the video, he's well aware why he's here and it's not to play games. He's a training keeper. Edited July 1 by Mazzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say with psr constraints we are going to roll the dice on keepers til Jan at least.

gdm Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Bet all the people on Twitter moaning about Trafford are wishing we’d just signed Trafford. I don’t have a problem signing Ruddy as cheap cover for the substitute keeper. Vlachodimos couldn’t get a game ahead of Mats Sells. Astonishing. If we didn’t need to sell to Forest coz of PSR we’d never have signed him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusiast Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Zero qualms about this, probably a good bloke to have about the training pitch and a wealth of experience allowing him to be a coach in spirit if not in name, but it did make me think it's odd that we don't have any other early-20s futureless slab of flesh keepers in the academy that could at least serve as a target for Isak and pals to ping balls at on the training pitch.

Suspect he's off and we're spending quite big on his replacement therefore the cheap backups. Just sounds like more fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 If we can't get a real top draw goalie I'd rather go with the greek and Ruddy for a year than get someone who isn't really good. People here who've met him say he's a nice funny guy and he has been playing regularly in the Championship so it's not like he hasn't played for 5 years. Perfectly fine as a 3rd choice. Alternatively if we do get Trafford he'd improve more out on loan than sitting on the bench, so it would give us enough goalies to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
