Being a keeper is the hardest position on the field, from a physiological perspective . A number 2 keeper with Emi being number 1 is a nightmare scenario, he's so good.. I concur.

villan95 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Would I like us to sign a much better no.2? Of course. Do I think it's possible to get a good keeper to come and play second fiddle to Emi? Probably not. It's the most difficult position to get cover for IMO and pretty much every team has the same problem. It's probably more appealing to go and be no.1 at a championship club for example.

OK, lets throw our dummy in and destroy our stand in keeper because we are not getting a new keeper, like a child. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 We will probably bring in another keeper, Olsen playing the first half last night doesn't mean anything, it would be foolish not to give him some game time in pre-season just in case move for an alternative keeper doesn't work out for whatever reason, Sanson played against Walsall, I think people read too much into friendlies.

Which is why going for an older decent keeper is normally the way to go. They maybe looking for their last contract and a premier league team 2nd keeper will be I guess, getting more than a championship 1st keeper, and with only a few years left, will have less chance of playing regularly and getting injured. So get paid more, play less and see out your career. Kind of like Heaton did by going to utd with zero realistic chance of playing. That's why I would be more than happy getting Keylor Navas who forest loaned last season, on a season long loan. Ball playing, good shot stopper and most likely at his age will be happy as cover for the best keeper in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on huge wages I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Club rates our own young keepers and don't want to be spending big money on back up in that area if we can produce our own, it's one of the big aims of the goalkeeping department, so any new signing is likely to be an older player to come in as a stop-gap until one of the youngsters are ready to be second choice.

I think we could definitely find somebody better than Olsen who would be prepared to be back up to Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a year left on his contract, I would snap him up for cover this season if we just had to pay the 100k pw and then he would probs go to Arab land to secure his retirement. 5 million in wages may seem a huge amount, however the drop down in quality is far less than olsen and would give us the best possible chance to win something or get higher up the league. A small gamble for 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Gaffa Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The Olsen mistakes came first followed by the criticism, not the other way round. Its the coaching staff's job to build his confidence not the fans. He always looks so nervous and just doesn't look comfortable. Let's see how he goes in the rest of the pre season games !
