Not sure why they took 2 days to announce it ?. Good interview saying there's a real optimism about the club. I mean if we were getting a big points deduction the players wouldn't be optimistic would they? Because I was right, as I always am. They didn't feel like announcing it!

Ravas can take over at that point as we go on to win the Champions League. Happy days. Europa League? Your lack of ambition disgust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Very good signing. A clear upgrade on Roos and Hamer. I don’t think you can ask for much more in the circumstances. Plus goalkeepers can still perform well into their late 30s. I watched Casillas at Porto and he was immense even at 37. Still need a winger, a striker, and a central midfielder and if we get that right, we can certainly feel more hopeful about our prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to believe it myself ? If Leeds started last season with a 12 point deduction they'd have finished 3rd on goals scored. You can still achieve plenty 12 points down. You just have to be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Looks like Scot Carson’s Scottish cousin. He’s actually 6 months older than Carson? I must have seen him play quite a few times, but I can’t really remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it’s difficult to depend on Rooney, Holmes and Bielik. Just my personal opinion that I’d like to see us add someone else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they’ve played a blinder, or are one of the few superstars, goalies are usually remembered when they’ve made mistakes. We’ve played against him a few times and I too cannot remember a bad game. Steady, consistent, everything I want in a goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
