What team in world football has 2 equally good goalies? Has a team ever been successful rotating their goalies? My point is that I don’t see the point in spending a decent chunk of our limited budget on a GK when in my opinion we already have a very good one.
There’s 1 team in the world imo who’s done that and it’s Liverpool. It’s not functional for us to have two high costing goalkeepers
On your line of thinking why would an experienced GK want to come to us just to be a No.2?
An experienced number 2 as in someone who has experience of being a back up. Someone fairly reliable but importantly cheap because he won’t be playing ideally.
I said if we win promotion and he is excellent. If we get promoted we would have the funds.
can see the argument if we get promoted and he plays a big part. Without promotion though it’s a non starter.
Dovin would cost us £2.4m if all targets are met. That isn't a lot of money.
It is if we don’t go up
I’d imagine he’ll end up being worth a lot more than that. Also would have signed here to be a number 1.
And on the other hand if we got promoted and he has an excellent season his value could well go up unless we have an agreement at a certain price on promotion. Would we still want him if it would cost us £10m or more? If he had a great season there would be Prem sides interested.
Would it be £2.4m if we don't get promoted?
Well let’s be honest neither you or I know that.
I fully agree. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't look at bringing in the best players we can afford to.
I am being honest. It wasn't me who said £2.4m for a reserve GK in the Championship
Which is the reason Wilson is ok at no.2 as long as he doesn't play
ffs re-read that, from that logic they may as well put sky blue sam as number 2 !!!
Wake up man, it's you that needs to re-read it.
Not if City get promoted.
Since the early 90s we have been to a lot of Crewe games as our second team. So we go there 3-4 times a year
‘We want a star striker, a new goalie, a new centre back…but we are not paying a few quid more for a ticket’
Who has said we dont want two quality right backs?
Quite a few on here. Just open your eyes. All over the place.
No I have seen plenty of people saying a club our size WONT have two quality right backs and they fully expect us to sell MVE.
Agree with Collins but free to collect in a FB group. Feel a bit for Bell. He has potential but we need more that potential with our immediate ambitions
Not as bad as the thread you started where 62% have voted they would be happy for Wilson to start the season and not bring in another GK. Collins as No.2
Would a 1p reserve be too high?
Glad to see Lampard and the coaching staff agreed with the 38% of usNot as bad as the thread you started where 62% have voted they would be happy for Wilson to start the season and not bring in another GK. Collins as No.2
It's as though nearly 2/3 of us have forgotten what happened after Dovin got injured.
