Mouri_Matic 560 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 He is signing on a 1 year contract? After next season he is leaving definitely because Cech will be the sub with Courtois leading in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If we're so keen on signing home-grown players, I'd rather re-sign Ross Turnbull than spend £10 million - which is £3 million more than we spent on Cech - on this player. Makes absolutely no sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 what about mark schwarzer... we wont need to spend 10mil on him...Shay Given is available, supposedly, and Mark Schwarzer is available on a free transfer and we're talking about signing John fucking Ruddy for £10 million. Wrong. Schwarzer won't sign because he wants to go to next year's World Cup, his last World Cup in fact. He's already 40 and has competition within the Aussie squad so unless he's crazy he's not coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If we spend 10mil on John ruddy then... *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We should just sign @ to be Cech's backup. Won't have to pay any fees or wages for that matter. Easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_ChrapQaa 192 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 why? Both he and Drogba were entitled to go for that ball, it is just one of those unfortunate things that happens in football. It wasn't deliberate like Stephen Cuntits the only moment i realized that there is someone named john ruddy, im not watching every match in league, and so i dont remember any bright moments he got, so now everyone lets say "solid" have 10M value? i know we are known for "ruining" the market but this seems pretty unlogical to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwylino 329 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would frankly rather go with schwarzer, ideal age, can come here on a decent wage too (since i read up about you might want to save up money for life after playing football, not to mean of course he won't find another job but you know what i mean) capable back up, and by the time he retires (1 or 2 years?) Courtois should hopefully be fresh for the picking for him and cech to go at number 1 spot.10m on ruddy is not the best option, by far not when you look at the other options, plus as mentioned here it would highly hinder his chances of being in the england set up if he was just always in cechs shadow, where as i think for someone like scwarzer who's pretty much spent a long time in top flight it'd not be so bad if he just settled down as a 2nd goalkeeper.(shittypostisshit:'D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 £10 mill would be a ruddy waste of money ... Bring back Delac and keep Hilario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different level 1,056 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My idea of the back up keeper is a player who should be used as little as possible: when the first choice GK is injured or against lower league sides in the cup ties. In that aspect £10 mln for someone, who would play in less than 10 games unless some emergency is on the way, makes no sense. If the club has some doubts over Cech's fitness they should've kept Courtois as even a keeper rotation would be better than overspending for a benchwarmer.

CFC-Lloydy 38 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 what about mark schwarzer... we wont need to spend 10mil on him...My thinking exactly, a goalkeeper who wouldn't mind sitting on the bench earning 20-30k a week to see his career out. Him or even Sorensen, who I believe is on a freebie (I might be wrong), or Shay Given we could get for cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Fits what we need - would be our number 2 HG goalkeeper, definitely better than Turnbull... Not worth £10m though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Schwarzer would be Australia's number one whether he plays one game next season, or one hundred. Yeah no he wouldn't. I'm pretty sure I know more than you in that area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 umm why is everyone crying about us spending 10M on ruddy? lol last i checked we bid 5M not 10Msimple fact when you bid 5M for a 10M rated goalie just shows we're trying to get the best possible backup for 5M at the biggest possible discount and not us trying to get ruddy no matter what the cost lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidEU 2,023 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Really don't see us paying £10m for this guy. The offer may be raised to £6m or so + add ons but no more. As Alex said, we'd be better off keeping Turnbull on the books for an extra year, or selecting one of the couple of freebies about, than shelling out big money on Ruddy.Majority of the players back for pre season training a week Monday, so would have thought JM would want a deal for an extra goalkeeper wrapped up pretty sharpish.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Schwarzer would be Australia's number one whether he plays one game next season, or one hundred. Exactly, he doesn't even have any competition in the Australian NT.If we're going to spend 10m on a homegrown GK, I'd much rather we get someone who could actually retain his price if we want to sell him when Courtois comes back from loan. Someone like Boro's Steele who for me is much better than Buttland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well enlighten us then instead of using sarcasm. Who would overtake Schwarzer in the Australian NT of he did not play regularly next season? Schwarzer is on his very, very last legs. If he went a whole year of not playing or playing the odd game here and there then Federici or Langerak could take over. As soon as Schwarzer was released from Fulham serious questions and doubts were raised over his future in the Australian team.Now that you have been enlightened, please don't make such ignorant comments.
