oldtimeram Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If the rumours of a transfer embargo for next season has some substance, this leaves us with a goalkeeping dilemma. As our two main keepers (one a loanee anyway) are an absolute liability, is Ravas ready for the step up, if Carson does not come back? He's got to be worth giving a go, surely, as he can't be any worse than Roos or Hamer. What's he like, as I've never seen him play? Thoughts?

oldtimeram Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 The rumour may be not true, but it got me thinking what the heck we would do next season if an embargo is imposed? Roos and/or Hamer I reckon could cost us at least 12 points next season if they play as they have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 We could still get loans and free transfers but with a wagecap for each signing and we cannot sign more players than we release/sell/loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 The soft embargo would be preferable. To go back to my original question, has anyone seen Ravas play and is he up to the standard required yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hamer was certainly an 'absolute liability'. I haven't quite given up on Roos just yet tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go back to my original question, has anyone seen Ravas play and is he up to the standard required yet? Ravas has looked solid for the U23's... but (being an ex-GK myself), if he's a contender for the number 1 shirt, it's more a question of putting him in and seeing how he deals with it than anything else. A lot of "being a GK" nowadays is about how confident you are in your own ability... and that'll only come with experience. I lost confidence quite rapidly after a couple of mistakes... which led to more mistakes... which meant I didn't end up playing at a high level.

Millenniumram Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Ravas looks to be one of those who is closest to breaking through to the first team. Think Cocu said recently that he rates him. I doubt that he becomes first choice next season mind, no matter what happens - I suspect it’s more likely he’s loaned out to league one level for a year first. If the transfer embargo is anything like Chelsea’s, then we may be able to sign Hamer permanently since he was here on loan last season. As much as I don’t rate him, that may end up being our only choice. We’d then have Roos as first choice with Hamer as cover, and possibly keep Ravas as third choice in that scenario. Not really a good enough set of options, but that’s what we’d be left with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiverton Ram Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 If we can't afford a new goalkeeper, we should at least give Carson another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roos and/or Hamer I reckon could cost us at least 12 points next season if they play as they have done Roos has also made a lot of good saves and has done well, some fans are blinkered and can't see past one big mistake. Hamer obviously had his confidence knocked too but agree he's not the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
