That’s a lot of extra shirt sales, or balti pies or season tickets. And then people would complain when their season ticket goes up by £200. We need to negotiate for every £ saving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Wasnt overly impressed against cuty but hard to judge as its city. But for 3m cant argue it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 £3m for this sausage? After that shit show at City I would of made him walk back. No improvement on Steer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Ideally I'd like a really good backup, somewhere around 21-28 years old, to challenge Martinez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didnt see Steer vs Chelsea? was terribly out of his depth Think would prefer a guy that played at a World Cup and Euros as back up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 He seems fine as a backup. Was obviously rusty vs City, but settled in and commanded his area particularly well. Our goalkeeping coach is much vaunted by our fans and presumably he sees something he can work with in him, so why wouldn't we trust Cutler's opinion? If Martinez went down long term you'd want to find somebody better, but it's such a fine line to walk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, one of his big weaknesses IMO, look at the cross for City's first he should get to that. He really didn't do so well with Roma, I'd hope we could do better with a younger up and coming keeper.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Rather Olsen went somewhere where he'd be first choice than sit on our bench but as a #2 he's a solid enough option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I don't think he did much wrong against City, especially once he had settled down after a few grabs of the ball. As good a signing as anyone for back up keeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really didn't do so well with Roma, I'd hope we could do better with a younger up and coming keeper.... It's the ultimate catch-22 situation with 'keepers though. A younger keeper won't get the requisite experience unless he's playing regularly, and being a number two won't get him that. It's why you'll often see experienced guys in their mid-30's as the backup at many clubs. Heaton at ManUre, Caballero at Citeh then Chelski, Carson at Citeh. Of the top few clubs, only the Dippers have a young backup in Kelleher and I think he'll be looking to move on or become their first choice within a season or two. He's young enough now to bide his time but if he keeps doing well he won't be content with a bit-part role. It's why Emi was such a great find - he'd been a reserve at arsenal for years, but had gone out on multiple loans and by age 29 was nearing his peak. Mind boggling that they let him go really and it took them spending big money on Ramsdale to correct their own error.... Also, not a coincidence that Jed's best run of form for us was directly on the back of a loan spell away. He came back from that sharp and ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
