Let's judge him on his career then. He's a 34 year old who has played a total of 2 seasons of championship football with the rest of his time being spent in the lower leagues.

dcfcreece1601 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 He played 9 times last season in league 2 with Yeovil so bizarre to sign him even as back up , if Carson got injured we have Mitchell and Weale , that's very worrying when we are playing against a lot of big strikers this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyram1983 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Don't understand it. We loan grant to stoke who'll be third choice and very unlikely to start a game apart from maybe in the cups. Then we loan weale who again will be second or third choice and be unlikely to start barring injuries and suspensions. Bizarre. But I suppose weale will be on a bit less than grant meaning saving on wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promote a younger, promising goalkeeper to our second choice, and sign old dude to clean boots unless emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodypecker Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Gee, many of these hostile reactions epitomise the knee-jerk nature of footy blogs. Weale is just for reinforcements, some 'insurance' on actual playing cover (doubtful it will ever be used) but adds to coaching & Academy resources. Hardly a crisis, in its own relevant context. Some fans need to learn to adopt a perspective Grant is experienced and accomplished and needed a change, with Derby bringing young talent through. Good luck, Lee! I'm much more concerned that we haven't recruited a real right-back, or a hard git in midfield (I don't think Hendrick had really carved out his role, too inconsistent). Chrissy Martin - thanks for some great memories and hard graft at DCFC to pull the team forwards from where it was 3 years ago. 99 goals speaks for itself, he has been a fantastic servant....and the possibility of getting £9m is mind-boggling! However, Pearson *had* to break up the cycle of reliance on that style of play, and clarify what he expects from his forwards - pace, pressing, chances, goals. Surely we have enough talent to turn things around from recent ineffectual performances? That Newcastle game is looking tasty, with all the change and recruitment at both clubs!

Judging him on one game is a bit silly Look at some of the mistakes the best goalkeeper in the world has made. Last time I looked this is Chris Weale not Germany goalkeeper..

I congratulated Pearson a few weeks ago for not doing this, but here we are. Don't give me this apologist guff about "we need a 3rd 'keeper as cover". We had two already and Pearson loaned them both out. Have to say, I think this is probably the main reason he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKANorwichExile Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Calm down, ladies. I understand that the timing was ****, but he's clearly on a lot less money than Grant and has plenty of experience. If he's playing for peanuts then what's the problem?

jono Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Mitchell is going to be a good keeper .. Not a ripple or a worry for me. Don't know the man but he is now a ram so can we just be welcoming please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Weale has made it clear he wants to go into coaching, so it's likely that he's here to eventually become a coach. Don't mind having another experienced head in, especially if he's able to help with Mitchell's development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
