Unbelievable Jeff Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Should Sunderland go down (or even if not), should we look at bringing him in as competition/replacement for Artur? The guy has been brilliant for Sunderland this season, as we have witnessed, and would likely be available cheaply. The guy is also only 26. Sign him up I say.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Didn't see city's equaliser last night then?
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Didn't see city's equaliser last night then? If one was wanting to be unfair to Mannone you'd have to ask how much City paid him to do that wouldn't you. Absolutely Sunday League keeping at that moment.
stevegrant Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Interesting timing of this suggestion given his monumental ****up last night for Man City's equaliser He's been decent, but I'd imagine if we're looking for another keeper, it'll be one who can pass short and long distances - difficult to tell from his games for Sunderland whether he is capable of that.

Absolutely Sunday League keeping at that moment. Indeed. When I opened the thread I half expected to see he'd been arrested for match fixing!
david in sweden Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 ...interesting comment from Peter Shilton interview (see todays BBC site).....saying that he thinks (at 26) ......Joe Hart is still young..and prone to mistakes ....well everyone makes them of course, but in 50 years as a fan ..the number of top-level goalies I've watched who were consistantly pretty reliable ....could probably be counted on one hand, and Hart is (argueably) the best English keeper. I've seen Mannone play some good games this season...and then.. games like the other night. Thus my ongoing comments about young keepers. It's good to have a prospect, but IMO central defenders and goalies take the longest time to develop properly. The best goalies I've watched have been 30+ ....and then a bit more too......so Mannone (not really) ......I'd prefer ....Fabianski ..or David Marshall.
teenagegsaint Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 I'd love Mannone to join us, think Boruc is better right now but Mannone would definitely be good competition for the no1 jersey.
Olallana Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Lindegard for me if you´re looking at a younger keeper.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 17 April, 2014 Author Posted 17 April, 2014 Top rated keeper in the Premier League this season on WhoScored.com.
Matthew Le God Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Lindegard for me if you´re looking at a younger keeper. He is 30 years old.
teenagegsaint Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Lindegard for me if you´re looking at a younger keeper. hahahahahaha he's 30
Sheaf Saint Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 https://vine.co/v/M1zOA7zBm0I Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk WTF!? There's something very suspicious about that.
Barry Sanchez Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 He looks like Jehmene Douglas of XFactor, popular at Christmas and with the grannies.
Monk Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Absolutely NO. Poor keeper, he was the keeper in my pro-zone analysis when he was at Hull and had some interesting stats.
OldNick Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 hes let in some really poor goals and is not of the greatest stature. Marshall is the better bet.
nta786 Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 We want to improve our team, so that means bringing in players better to what we have. Mannone, IMO, doesn't fit this bill, and I'd definitely have Boruc over him anyday.
SaintSteve Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 We want to improve our team, so that means bringing in players better to what we have. Mannone, IMO, doesn't fit this bill, and I'd definitely have Boruc over him anyday. OK, but we would need to spend massive to replace Boruc as our No 1... not sure many posters on here realise that Boruc was in the top 5 of European Goalkeepers not long ago.. We need a goalie who commands the penalty area.. Kaspar would maybe fit the bill but can we entice him away from Leicester ?

We need a goalie who commands the penalty area.. Kaspar would maybe fit the bill but can we entice him away from Leicester ? TBH I'm probably one of the few who will say that if we was to only buy 3 players this season, I'd buy a CB, AM and ST. I genuinely wouldn't bother with GK just yet as I'm happy with Boruc (just needs to sort out those damn niggles!)
Window Cleaner Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Fabianski anyway according to yesterdays Sun That would suit me.
Matthew Le God Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Fabianski anyway according to yesterdays Sun Mirror ran with that story a few days ago as well, also linking Saints with Kasper Schmeichel. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfers-lukasz-fabianski-southampton-3406624
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 17 April, 2014 Author Posted 17 April, 2014 Absolutely NO. Poor keeper, he was the keeper in my pro-zone analysis when he was at Hull and had some interesting stats. Surely if you like stats, the fact that he is number 1 rated keeper in the Prem this season counts for something?

Matthew Le God Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 (edited) Top rated keeper in the Premier League this season on WhoScored.com. the fact that he is number 1 rated keeper in the Prem this season counts for something? Do you believe he is the best keeper in the Premier League this season? If you don't think he is the best keeper in the league it makes it pointless using the whoscored.com ratings as you are contradicting yourself. He just had more work to do than most of the top keepers, doesn't mean he is better. Put Cech, Hart or De Gea in the Sunderland team and they'd likely come out with better who scored.com stats than they currently have. Edited 17 April, 2014 by Matthew Le God
Monk Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Surely if you like stats, the fact that he is number 1 rated keeper in the Prem this season counts for something? I'm 90% sure it's Cardiff's David Marshall?
BlakeySFC Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 Do you reckon the Sunderland fans are still singing that 'OHHH VITO MANNONE' song?! :lol:
david in sweden Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 TBH I'm probably one of the few who will say that if we was to only buy 3 players this season, I'd buy a CB, AM and ST. I genuinely wouldn't bother with GK just yet as I'm happy with Boruc (just needs to sort out those damn niggles!) I think a lot of us are " happy " with Boruc, but as soon as he gets an injury, we're back to KD and Gazzaniga....neither of whom is Prem.quality. If he were seriously injured we'd really be in the sh*te. We were on that great run of form when Boruc broke his hand at Chelsea and in the following 8 games ..we won only once, whilst trying both Davis and Gazzaniga. ....after Boruc came back.... we lost only three times in the following 12 games. Those stats. surely proves the point in question. When we were promoted from the Championship..... MY first buy would have been an international keeper. KD (great club servant though he is).. isn't Prem.standard and having Gazzaniga as his back-up was an idiotic choice. (Sorry Nigel but you really underestimated that). NOTE; Almost every Prem.club has, at least one international keeper, quite a number have two.....and several have three quality keepers.
david in sweden Posted 17 April, 2014 Posted 17 April, 2014 That´s younger than Boruc. ..........and a lot younger than our second choice keeper (KD) who is already 37.

Best keeper in the Prem is probably De Gea though.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 17 April, 2014 Author Posted 17 April, 2014 I'm 90% sure it's Cardiff's David Marshall? That 10% says you're wrong. Marshall is down in about 4th I believe.
