rodders0223 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Pinch of salt the goalkeeper stats with relegated clubs. I remember watching Carson go down with Charlton and I thought he was going to be the new Yashin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 6 hours ago, sne said: From what I remember Wolves offered £120k in January (might be way off) and a player going for £25m or whatever is going to get a big contract. Just like transfer fees goes up, so does salaries. Edit: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tammy-abraham-wolves-aston-villa-15636578 Exactly. Mccormack is on 70k... Let that sink in! I do think 120k is a bit steep for an unproven 21 year old though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied for 5th on WhoScored's Premier League keeper ratings for all Keepers who played more than 10 games last season. Same rating as Boruc, but played more than 3 times the minutes/games. Only Fabianski made more average saves/game. Pointless comparison. Ofc. keepers for dogshit teams will average lots of saves. Not a chance he was or is a top 5 keeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could lose 3-0 every game but he would always be man of the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid4ever Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I personally think a lot of the signings will be underwhelming in our thoughts and expectations but will do the job that Dean asks of them and will buy into the project. With maybe a marquee signing thrown in to show we aren’t messing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 If you think going into the absolute minimum depth as to why statistics show what they show, is trolling. Then this will be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, KMitch said: Are you kidding me? He was easily one of the top 5 keepers in the Premier League last season. Absolutely no chance. He did well last season but c'mon, it's been long established that it's easier to look good in goal for a poor side that faces more shots than other teams. Even taking solely last season into account he wasn't near Alisson, Ederson, Fabianski, Leno, Kepa, Foster, Patricio, Schmeichel and probably a couple of more. Wouldn't be a bad singing by any means as we'll be looking to stay in the Premier League, but there's levels and he's not at that one. The fact that the basis some of you are going off makes Boruc a better signing should be enough to work off. Edited June 3, 2019 by Indigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others mentioned, Cardiff's keeper even if it was Neil Warnock himself would have been very high on the saves charts due to the very nature of their predicament. So that particular stat doesn't tell the story you seem to want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Is it just me or is that showreel not that impressive?! Weak punches, no catching, looks like it's edited so many of the follow ups were goals and a majority of the saves either directly at him or off an arm rather than a solid hand on them.

It's only money saved if you don't spunk it up the wall ( yet again) We seem to have this celebration every 3 or 4 year cycle, hopefully this is the end of it. Looking at the start of the McCormack thread I mentioned the sums involved and the fee with tredipdation and the usual "not my money" type comments were posted. We cannot keep doing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
