North_Stand_Ram Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 In today's daily mirror it says we're keen as he has a relegation cause.... Not sure... Although he always seems to play well at the iPro.... And he's bloody good at timewasting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I was wondering about Bettinelli? 1 year left on his contract so Fulham face losing him for nothing in Jan.22 year old. england u21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I hope this is a wind up. Grant is much better. Fordes name is perfect for the pun brigade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He's a decent keeper, not as bad as people are making out. Usually starts for Ireland ahead of Shay Given and Kieran Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Wouldn't let me edit the other comment... He's a decent keeper. Usually starts for Ireland ahead of Shay Given and Kieran Westwood. Would add some competition for Grant in that position, if Grant continues his current form into next season then Forde will be a much better choice. If he can keep Shay Given out of starting for Ireland, who is a much better keeper than Grant then clearly he can't be that bad. We only have Roos as back up currently, McClaren doesn't seem to trust him as sufficient back up and has brought in loans before when Grant has been injured. Grant's bad form might have even happened due to not having any real competition so lost concentration in training. Having 2 decent keepers competing can only be a good thing.

CornwallRam Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I must have been watching different games, but everytime I've seen Firde play he's looked really good. I'd say he's more consistent than Grant. Maybe Grant is better when he's at the top of his game, but recently he's been quite poor. Forde just seems like a boring, solid, reliable keeper. I'd say tedium is good when we're talking about goal keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Playing for Ireland really doesn't mean a massive amount, being an 'average Championship player' will get you plenty of caps.Shay Given hasn't been a regular at Villa since the 2011/12 season and is 39 (even for a keeper that's still getting on a bit) - it makes sense that a player playing every game for his club would get in ahead of him.Purely as backup he might be an option, nothing more.

Bwash_Ram Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 He could be a popular player but if he wastes time at the city ground he might need to be escorted off the pitch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'd rather we went for his Norwegian cousin, David Fjord or brought this guy in to do the half time entertainment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernRam Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'd rather we didn't go for him at all - why not a keeper like Randolph, or failing that a back up like Foderingham. Then we can loan Roos out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Could be getting in deep water with Forde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well to all you kippers wanting grant replaced I hope this is an eye opener on who wed get, if you want Marshall or even butland your forking out several million quid, a lot for a championship team rspecially when they have more pressing issues than replacing a good keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
