Taribo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 19 hours ago, Srg said: If that’s the case, you’d hope Wildsmith expected this otherwise you’d immediately find an unhappy player. You just don’t tend to loan a goalkeeper to sit on the bench, especially when you’re in our state. It’s kinda a given that any team in any division will have two goalkeepers that are looking to be the no.1, or two keepers that have at least made a league start Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Problem with this one, Brighton want him to be guaranteed number 1 which is understandable. We want him to compete with wildsmith. Roberts looks set to be done soonish tho Norman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarterForTen Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Looking at his reputation and career trajectory so far, looks like he would be our number one. But no player should be guaranteed a starting place of course. TomG and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if there is a clause to play him in the majority of matches then we shouldn't have been in for him. No matter how good he is, or might be, he's still a rookie goalie that is likely to make mistakes and drop form. Especially if he knows he's undroppable. Competition for Wildsmith still needed, but plenty more fish in the sea. Rammy03, Carnero and Carl Sagan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) One issue we may have with loan signings is that whilst we should be expected to get some top rank players in, we aren't allowed to pay a loan fee are we ? BTW I don't agree with this new phenomenon of paying to loan a player, especially if it's in addition to paying their full wages. It smacks of teams acquiring a player, possibly cheaply, with the promise of a generous sell on clause, but then recovering the initial purchase price by loaning them out each season with no cash benefit to the original selling club. I'm thinking of someone like Matt Clarke at Brighton, who both us & WBA have had so far Edited July 8, 2022 by SamUltraRam Rammy03, Crewton and strawhillram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Like others have alluded to, I have a suspicion this one didn't happen because we wouldn't guarantee him the number one slot. Oh well... plenty more goalkeepers in the sea. I'd like us to try and get young Matej Kovar on loan from Man U for the season if we're still after a young one. Shored Burton's defence up when they played him in the last 5-6 games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 He sounded like a good keeper so disappointed this one didn't land. If it's because we couldn't offer him the starting gig then fair enough, but surely he should've been more than capable for the competition? I wonder who else we have in the big list of keepers?

Roberts looks set to be done soonish tho I'd suggest that 15 games in front of 20k plus with a certain level of performance pressure to retain his place, would do him better than 40 games at Lincoln where he can be inconsistent and play regardless in front of an 8500 average crowd, but there you go.

Absolutely - premiership team yes you can have him but he has to play when fit - Any sensible response - he will be selected if he is the best in that position and selected on merit Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 If he believed in himself to be good enough to mail down the starting spot, then he should have chosen us. This strikes me if entitlement so we’ve maybe dodged a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
