New Goalkeeper

[newcastlered]

I still think Ward will find his way back here next season. If not, unless it's Randolph or Ruddy, I wouldn't want any current or recent past goalkeeper from the SPFL as most are piss

[dazzy_deff]

 

dazzy min, is that a straight up LOL, or is it "I've bought a LOL, you know I've got it, but I'm not giving it to you until it's OK with your Dad first LOL"?

It's a I'm creasing oot cos you suggested we sign Craig Samson. Deary me!

[RAZOR]

Any keeper not coached by Jim Leighton

Where does that leave Ryan Esson?

Doing park run

It's got nothing to do with your Jim Leighton goalkeeping techniques, Parkrun

And it's not about you joggers who go round and round.

 

All the people, so many people, they all get bored to fuck, bored to fuck from Parkrun.

I'm pretty sure Jurgen Klopp is not a national socialist.

Maybe Tup just meant that Klopp fucks nazis? With his Kloppencock?

Spots parkrun +1

 

Jumps on it to fish for some.

 

Must do better

[Sonoftherock]

Bain has improved enormously over the past 18 months. He's kept Dundee in a number of matches this season. A united fan I know, was recently trying to tell me that Bain and Hemmings were the only reasons that Dundee weren't joining them in a relegation fight Having said that, not sure 250K couldn't be spent better elsewhere?

Fucking pitiful....parkrun.

Samson ....... Wow

[King Street Loon]

Did someone honestly suggest Samson as goalie for next season?

Jesus.

Jesus.

Only because Langfield has a year left on his St Mirren deal.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Would definitely like to sign a goalkeeper and central defender who would make a difference next season

 

I'm saying Gianluigi Buffon and Gerard Pique

Are either any use at Parkrun?

[Sheeptastic]

Nobody seems to have mentioned we have someone sitting on our bench who could turn out to be decent? Bit of a dilemma when Brown hasn't made any obvious mistakes since coming into the team but think Collin deserves a chance at some point.

[King Street Loon]

Go for Ward again.

Ask Liverpool how much they want for him.

He's not even in the bench for the final today. Unless he's injured of course.

[starryfish]

Mcinnes is obviously unconvinced by Brown as he went and got Ward - time must be getting closer to Collin getting a chance.

He's cup tied.

 

Unless this was a woosh.

 

Either way:

 

Idiot.

I'm not particularly banging a drum for Samson, I simply pointed out that in my opinion he's as good as Bain and available for nothing (as is McGovern, perhaps a better option), and I don't think Bain, nor any other GK in Scotland bar Craig Gordon, is worth any kind of money to us if we're going to limit our market to an average keeper with decent SPL form. The context further being that it is very very difficult to get a good goalkeeper in the limited market of the Scottish league without paying a fee and it's debatable whether or not that money could be better spent elsewhere. OK keeper though he may be, there's not a hope in hell that Scott Bain is good enough for AFC to spend £250k on him. I'd be very surprised if this happened given our poor form with GKs over the past 10 years although for obvious reasons I'd be delighted if proved wrong.

 

I only suggest Samson, or any other free GK, due to simple economics. He wouldn't make us worse, because he's better than our current first choice keeper, and on the basis we finish second, only a keeper who'd command a big fee or another good loan keeper, would be good enough to push us further.

 

The other thing worth considering here is that our current GK coach wanted Samson at Motherwell to replace Randolph a few years back so it's perhaps not such a fanciful notion...

 

There is no doubt in my mind that there are better keepers out there than Samson, and hopefully we will get one of those, and most likely they will be a risk especially if they are loan GKs, but in the context of freely available in Scotland, not so much. The signing of a foreign GK brings with it so many variables with the contract position etc that you want to be sure that whoever you sign is going to be here for the duration, ie pay the big bucks, take the risk.

You mean proud?

What's the consensus on Utd's new keeper? Is he any good? Hard to judge on their form but I know a few have said he has saved them from a couple of hidings & pulled off a good few fantastic saves.

 

Hopefully he has a mare the morn

I hear he's quite nippy in goal.......

[King Street Loon]

We'll put 3 past him.

easy peasy Japaneasy.

[fine-n-dandy]

Jamie McDonald is still a fantastic shot stopper but much like Clangers is still very weak at coming off his line.

Killie would be in Utd's position (possibly even less points) if not for him.

 

Still think that Accies keeper is about the only SPFL keeper i'd be happy with us going for. Other than that I hope we pick up a nice surprise from abroad.

 

Edit a lot of talk of Liverpool looking for a replacement for Mingolet, if that happens (& they keep Mingolet as No.2) would be nice to get Ward back FOR WHOLE SEASON but I fear that there would a lot more clubs interested in taking him on loan now.
