Vegetable 830 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 4 hours ago, TheHulk said: Nothing against the guy, but I wonder how much sense there is in having 3 senior keepers in teams with strong 1 or 1 and 2. It's not like two keepers get injured at one frequently and is the 40-ish yo GK, who is closer to coaching staff than player is so much better in games, than promoting a U21 GK?

Interesting he agreed to be a deep reserve then. Surely he isn't going into the team, even if Kepa and/or Mendy go. Still my question remains, as it wasn't purely about him. If it's only about HG slot, I'd rather see some actually playing HG players, than such a ghost bodies for sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to fill HG spots which can be a problem and it's always smart to have English 3rd keeper because there is no damage. All best PL clubs are doing it. And experienced one who doesn't care if he plays has much more sense than some young GK who it's better to be on loan and play. You can register 17 non homegrown players so why waste one spot on 3rd keeper. OhForAGreavsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked capable and busy, staying involved in the game and communicating with the defenders constantly. It looks like he gladly accepts the 'senior pro' role with the young lads around him.

Yeah I don't see how we comply with PL FFP. No doubt the owners will blame the sanctions if we miss out. Well they definitely had an impact so there can be no ifs or buts about it. The FFP targets must be adjusted to factor in those impacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look it other way - we are not obligied to fullfil HG slots, but we can only fill 17 nonHG slots, so we dont want to waste any nonHG slot on 3rd GK OhForAGreavsie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
