Popular Post lexicon Posted July 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 Just now, Kiwivillan said: Just fed up with the hysterical bashing of Olsen. If Emi parries that ball to Wilson nothing is said. If he's really that bad Emery will replace before the windows end and everyone's happy It's not hysterical. He's a poor keeper and a clear liability. The parry isn't important, the time that he passed the ball straight to their attacker was far more of a problem but also completely on-brand for Olsen. He needs replacing, ASAP. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to enjoy them, but these days I'm happy to sit back and await official confirmation.

Popular Post Mazrim Posted July 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 Some fans opinions of players leaves me scratching my head. But it's O.K. Vive le difference and all that. But I will never understand coming into a transfer speculation thread and criticising the very nature or validity of transfer speculation. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Its not just his ability. Its his stage presence as such. Whereas Emi dominates his area vocally and physically Robin seems to always be quiet and gives off an aura of being nervous even if he isnt. You can train to get better at saving shots but by your early 30s your personality is pretty much set in stone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are incentivised to create as many links/stories as humanely possible. All about the Wonga, not the truth of things. like most things in life these days tbh.

Delphinho123 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Came here thinking there would be a couple of new links given it’s been a few pages since I checked, but no, it’s just Kiwi bashing transfer speculation in the transfer speculation thread. Classic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) It's not that unusual for a club to have three senior keepers, is it? I know we have had three before (when Postma was around etc). Is there any reason we don't keep Olsen AND get another keeper in?

We need to bring in a young guy with plenty of promise for the No.2 (Like we did with Guzan at that time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe squad registration and wasted wages but suppose it's possible if we get a new GK but can't shift Olsen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really have a number 3 on £50k/w and Sweden can't really have their number 1 sitting in the stands or furthest down the bench at Villa. He needs to move for every ones best. But the salary makes it difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that a back up keeper should have all the attributes, but another important difference is that Martinez is a sweeper keeper, Olsen seems to stick pretty much to his line.
