Including positive opinions?

Tbf positive opinions are more likely to be based in fact than non positive as the default is to not be positive until there is evidence to make it positive

Course - it should be evidential though rather than a gut feeling

Well is - "I'm underwhelmed by this signing based on the evidence that he has very little first team experience for a keeper of his age" not a statement based on evidence that isn't too harsh and really doesn't need any backlash.

Would you not rather have a keeper whos been kept warm and competitive those last 3 years though? We are essentially signing a Championship teams Number 3

Problem we’re having is we’re shopping in a different pool. Westwood for instance is close to finished but would command a high wage.

Moore is in his goalkeeping prime, whilst he’s been a number 2 for the last 3 years, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad goalkeeper. I mean who else is available is the question.

we just need a solid gk that’s better than Wilson

All I said was that I'd be underwhelmed, hardly even that negative a response. The reason no one has seen him play is because he has barely played for 3 years. I'd prefer us to sign a keeper who has actually been getting consistent game time in recent history.

What’s your opinion based on though? Which keepers are you hoping we’ll sign? And why?

I'd be happier with Sarkic but ideally I would have wanted Walton.

We all went mental when Gervaine "too good for this league" Kastaneer was announced.

I'll remember to remain stoic throughout our business now.

Are they?

Does this include the same people that tried to convince themselves that Bakayoko was going to be a good signing despite numerous Walsall fans physically laughing about the fact that we paid a fee for him.

Or perhaps the same delusional group that thought Biamou was our best striker last season?

I dont know anything about Simon Moore, so I decided to see what Sheffield United said when they signed him.
I was shocked to see that when they bought him , he had only played 25 games in 3 years for Cardiff.
Seems to be an experienced keeper with no game experience.

Simon Moore 6ft 3.5"
Born in Sandown, Isle of Wight

Used to go there as a kid on holiday, so it's a thumbs up from me.

Oggy played 4 times in 5 seasons for Liverpool, god knows why Shrewsbury bought him as he must have been rubbish as he couldn't displace Ray Clemence from the side!

Joking aside, I'm glad that he is physically bigger than Ben Wilson - as the obvious vulnerability in Ben's game is that at 6'1" he is not that tall for a keeper, and led to jittery moments when dealing with crosses.

Sheff Utd fans all seem pretty positive about Moore, I am not underwhelmed by his signing at all. He is possibly an incremental improvement on Marosi. That's what we're going to get at best, incremental improvements. Anybody expecting anything else is deluded.

Simon Moore can fuck off, and Wilson.

For fucks sake can we just get a bloody half decent keeper, these two clowns have played about 100 league games between them and both around 30 and been a 2nd keeper all their lives
