UpweySaint Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Steklenberg (though fulham are a strange case for sure) has found his place in the first team taken by stockdale recently. If he's still the class keeper he has looked beforehand fulham may well be willing to cash in and put stockdale in.
old_southy Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 HSV are in real danger of going down this year and they've got Rene Adler. They'd have to let him go (29) if we came in for him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaTg7yparmc
Sour Mash Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Fraser Forster at the right price for me His kicking isn't great though.

If he's still the class keeper he has looked beforehand fulham may well be willing to cash in and put stockdale in. He had a bad shoulder injury at the start of the season, if he's clear of that then he'd be a top signing.
Roger Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Ask for lindegaard as a make weight when they bid for shaw alternatively that highly rated nipper that Chelsea have courtois Let's just not sell shaw. Silly comment.
CB Saint Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Let's just not sell shaw. Silly comment. Why is that a silly comment? There is a very good chance that shaw could be sold in the summer given the valuations being bandied about. We have more chance of prising away a top keeper if they want our player more. It would certainly make me feel better about the deal if we were able to get a decent player in return.
Goatboy Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 He had a bad shoulder injury at the start of the season, if he's clear of that then he'd be a top signing. Agree. Stekelenburg for me. Best option out of those previously mentioned. Good age. Think he could be a great signing.
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Are there no decent goalies in the Championship??
andybeal Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Can we cross Mannone off the list - looks like he's been training with Gazza
Badger Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Are there no decent goalies in the Championship?? McCarthy at Reading.
S-Clarke Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 McCarthy at Reading. Overrated in my opinion, not the sort of level we need to replace Boruc.
irene Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Boruc isn't injury prone. Just keeps being rushed back to soon as no decent cover. It's a decent back up needing brought in
Rasiak-9- Posted 7 April, 2014 Author Posted 7 April, 2014 Ask for lindegaard as a make weight when they bid for shaw alternatively that highly rated nipper that Chelsea have courtois Way, way, way above our level. Playing for a title-challenging team in Spain on loan from a title-challenging team in England; both of whom can afford to pay him more than we can. Feet on the ground guys.
Batman Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Courtois, Lukaku Sweet Jesus, never ever going to happen
Clunge Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Courtois, Lukaku Sweet Jesus, never ever going to happen Keep dreaming! If we kept squad together added Forster, caulker and someone like Bony I'd be over the moon.
Marsdinho Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I wouldn't want any keeper that has just been relegated, especially if they aren't even first choice.
UpweySaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 He had a bad shoulder injury at the start of the season, if he's clear of that then he'd be a top signing. To be fair I think he has been victim of the merry go round at fulham too. Seen him play some decent stuff and rare a dutch international with roma on his cv to be tosh. He may well be a good shout if price and wages are right, same for Adler as somebody mentioned above, he looks a real commanding presence and would be something of a coup.
Rowan Gorilla 5 Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I believe Saint-Etienne were scouted earlier in the season so I wonder whether Ruffier would have been one of the players under consideration.
ant Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Maarten Stekelenburg would be my first choice too. Wouldn't really be fair to judge Mannone solely on Sunderland's capitulation last night.
studentsaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Rob Elliot or Karl darlow to challenge boruc, best keeper starts.
teenagegsaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Boruc is much better than Ruddy and Stekelenburg, Mannone would be a great shout
kwsaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Forster for me. My Celtic supporting work colleague is convinced that we will get him. Celtic wont be able to match Premier League wages. We definitely need someone. Don't see Davis carrying on next season and Gazzaniga is a liability.
MerceSaint28 Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I think Forster would be a great buy...really good keeper
skintsaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I think Forster would be a great buy...really good keeper He is quite average, its why no one has taken a punt on him yet.
Bearsy Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Average would be quite a step up on g-nigga. We dream of average!
SuperMikey Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 He is quite average, its why no one has taken a punt on him yet. Pretty much - he's a good shot stopper but he's so incredibly slow and his distribution is pretty poor too. Only gets the hype because he's English and not playing in the English leagues, I believe that's known as Owen Hargreaves Syndrome. Personally I would look to see how much Wigan want for Al-Habsi, proven to be a very solid keeper at this level and would be pretty cheap. Wigan don't want him as they have Carson and a kid called Nicholls who will be pretty decent too. Would definitely rival Boruc for his starting spot, and he's a huge star in the East so would fit in nicely with that plan to increase revenue! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53ezvpIx3s4
Cabrone Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I'd go big for Begovic, top class keeper. We should always be looking at replacements, not backups. Let him and Boruc scrap it out for no 1.
MerceSaint28 Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I disagree that he is average...he has always played well when i have seen him...Roy clearly rates him alternatives - Begovic - top quality keeper but would Stoke sell?? would his agent think he can get champs league team? Jack Butland - good keeper, is he an upgrade on Boruc?? maybe not now but might be good to challenge him Mannone - Sunderland probably going down and is a decent keeper, available at a decent price Marshall - Decent keeper
hypochondriac Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I'd go big for Begovic, top class keeper. We should always be looking at replacements, not backups. Let him and Boruc scrap it out for no 1. We have zero chance of begovic.
eelpie Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Richard Wright is on his way out of the Etihad. Must be better and more reliable than what we have, and would surely welcome the move, though I would prefer Schmeichel or Ruddy, but top of the list has to be Begovic for me.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Richard Wright is on his way out of the Etihad. Must be better and more reliable than what we have, and would surely welcome the move, though I would prefer Schmeichel or Ruddy, but top of the list has to be Begovic for me. Wright honestly? probably not even as good as Davis and that's not a glowing reference. There are plenty of decent keepers that most haven't even heard of and yet we keep getting the same old hack names trotted out time after time. If I was looking for a young keeper with talent I'd be asking PSG about a loan for Areola.
Bearsy Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 If I was looking for a young keeper with talent I'd be asking PSG about a loan for Areola. He's a tit. Always making boobs. You can't criticise him tho cos he's sensitive. Also not sure how he'll adjust to cold weather. erm... i think that's about it for now. I will come back later if i think of any more!

iansums Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 He can also play on the wing, he's very nippy. Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
Goatboy Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 I asked him for 10 reasons why he would stay at PSG. He lacked 8.

One too many mistakes in him to really improve us that much in my opinion, but still a very good keeper. Adler is excellent and he's such a formidable presence, which is a valuable quality. Van der Sar was a great keeper in part because of his frame, he had such a great reach that he made other keepers' 'wonder saves' look relatively routine. Adler strikes me as similar.
Pastor Patrón Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Ter Stegen please, not like Barca can sign him now. If not, Casillas.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Ter Stegen please, not like Barca can sign him now. If not, Casillas. If we are dreaming. Good chance of Cech being on the move this summer. Past his best, but still better than Boruc and Davis/Gazza.
Baldbarbarian Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Fabianski is available on a free at the end of the season. could be an option
Pastor Patrón Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 If we are dreaming. Good chance of Cech being on the move this summer. Past his best, but still better than Boruc and Davis/Gazza. QPR signed Cesar, Casillas is get-able.
Restark19 Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Joe Hart, looks likely that City will sign a new keeper in the summer
Rowan Gorilla 5 Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 Oliver Baumann and Ron-Robert Zieler. 2 good quality keepers from the Bundesliga.
DuncanRG Posted 11 April, 2014 Posted 11 April, 2014 (edited) Joe Hart, looks likely that City will sign a new keeper in the summer If they do it'll be competition. They're always signing players but not many leave. And if Hart left he'd walk straight into a trophy winning team elsewhere. We have zero chance of begovic. What makes you say that?

Badger Posted 12 April, 2014 Posted 12 April, 2014 Oliver Baumann and Ron-Robert Zieler. 2 good quality keepers from the Bundesliga. Zieler is highly rated and has previously been linked to a move to England. Someone put Baumann's name on here before , and this was found: which looks like 2 x a Joe Hart in one match, and a Bialkowski thrown in for good measure. Imagine the uproar on here if that was playing for us, or if committed by Gazzaniga or Boluc. On another clip though he seemed to retain the full support of the crowd there, so perhaps an isolated fiasco he's now got out of his sysyem.
