Vive_La_Villa Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This is the strangest loan signing since that American lambert bought in on deadline day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 We are the only Championship club who loan third choice goalkeepers. An embarrassment of riches. Wonder how much we are contributing for him to ping balls in the warm up for catching practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Did Bruce ever talk about this player? I wonder if the signing was done without his input which is why he won’t play him. Maybe he was a sweetener for more business with Mendes. Maybe Bruce rated him but he turned out to be shit Non of it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the one. What was all that about? yep just 2 cup games. I only saw him in one of them and he looked very shakey but also a little crazy. I liked him.

Because somebody, somewhere is skimming money off the deal? Either that or this really is the poorest run club in the country. Who loans a 3rd choice keeper? I mean, that is truly incomprehensible and smacks or either dodginess or gross incompetence. It has to be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The biggest irony of it all of course is that of the 4 goalkeepers to play so far this season the only one who didn't look completely dodgy was Steer. And we loaned him out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this, or he's somehow even worse than Nyland (possible) and Bunn (unlikely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khizzy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Don't think Simon Dawkins is American, as far as I remember he was a Spurs reject. Funnily enough, my mate who is a Spurs fan always talks up their young players / rejects didn't rate him one bit. Says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Dawkins played for Jamaica. On Moreira was he just not included because we can only have certain amount of loan players in our squad? Does seem odd he's been back up to Nyland in all the league games (so injury or red card and he'd have to come on) and yet when Nyland is taken out it's Bunn who gets the call.
