Jazzer_Bett Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 .........he's a bit of a dude like Good Red TV interview, speaks excellent English and seems to have a good attitude towards playing for the Dons. When asked to describe his strengths as a Goalkeeper he says "everything". Things seem to point to this guy being as a solid a keeper as we've had in a while. Best of luck, looks a character for the fans as well. Anyone watching the Bochum game please report back on the chap :thumbs: Link to comment

A player with that level of confidence is something we've missed in a long time. I hope we don't drag his confidence level down to Clangers! Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 I hope we don't drag his confidence level down to Clangers! Well phrased min. When commenting on Langfield thats the way I see it, he has the ability but disastrous events during his time with us have undermined his confidence. This guy is coming in with no baggage, a fresh start in a key position. Looks like he's in until December anyway. Link to comment

This guy is coming in with no baggage, a fresh start in a key position. Looks like he's in until December anyway.I agree, Langfield is a cracking keeper when he is brimming with confidence. As soon as he feels the pressure he loses it, especially when we're up against Dundee United! THAT semi final he lost it completely, under the anger and frustration I felt a bit sorry for him!

Jazzer_Bett Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 especially when we're up against Dundee United! This. Having Gonzalez in the sticks against them means we don't start 1 nil down. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Broon says it will be Oldfield and I assume the other trailist 45 each tomorrow, Gonzalez 90 at the weekend. Link to comment

russellh Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Im sure Gonzalez said in a paper interview that he would be interested in a permanent deal with us. Obviously we havent seen him play yet and of course not sure of the nature of the wages with the loan from city but if he matches his self belief then hopefully we have uncovered a cracker of a signing. (well for 6 months at least) Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 whilst im sure ill love this guy, IMAGINE the reaction if maguire had come out with a quip like that, would u still be sayin u love the confidence? Maguire had nothing to back such a statement up. I'm sure that if Gonzalez turns oot to be pure crap then someone will refer to that comment. Time will tell; Link to comment
minijc Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 whilst im sure ill love this guy, IMAGINE the reaction if maguire had come out with a quip like that, would u still be sayin u love the confidence?I wouldn't but that's because I know what maguire was like, very average at best that is, this new keeper has the talk just hope can walk the walk and become our new number 1.

tup Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 As I said when he signed, this is the best goalkeeper we have had at the club for a number of years. The worst thing is, he's clearly going to prove that, and six month loan = very short term thinking. If he plays well in our first four games we should be looking to extend that considerably. Having said that we have maybe covered that base in terms of an option to buy written into the loan. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 care to explain what, apart from the fact hes at man city, is your basis for such a mental statement? I have to say, the bar hasn't been set all that highly in recent years... Link to comment

paddy Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 bet you canna beat him at ping pong Paddy! I already did so robbojunior! Was at the stadium today and put him through his paces. He's pretty gash, kept dropping the bat and tried to catch the ball. Nice lad though Link to comment

SkyeDon Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I like the fact he has good english and he seems to be a confident lad, hopefully it goes well for him. All the best David Gonzalez! Link to comment
OddJob Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I can't wait to see him in action for the Dons, here's hoping he's the business Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 As I said when he signed, this is the best goalkeeper we have had at the club for a number of years. I expect you're right - he'll be at least as good as Langfield. If he's as good as Kjaer, I'll be delighted. I don't think he will be though - Kjaer's organisation was immaculate. Link to comment
OneLeeMiller Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 speaking of goalies, go on to the day three round up on afc website and go down the page and look at the photos, Clangers dress sense Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Tup aint the only one who seems confident about him. As I said, he used the word iswhich indicates fact, whilst I merely stated that certain things (i.e his pedigree) indicated its likely he could be - because I don't know for sure as I haven't seen him play in the flesh yet? Maybe Tup has - have you Tup? Link to comment
Redmist1903 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The worst thing is, he's clearly going to prove that, and six month loan = very short term thinking. We have the option to extend the loan by another 6 months in January. Having said that we have maybe covered that base in terms of an option to buy written into the loan. We're only contributing 25% of his wages, so I'd imagine if we wanted to sign him he would have to agree to one whoor of a pay cut. Link to comment

He is out of contract this season though and unless he is the best keeper the SPL has ever seen he might not have all that many offers and if he is happy at AFC...... Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Merely surmising, but i'm certain you'd be better than Langfield against he Jutes min and you aren't a proffesional goalkeeper are you? Link to comment
