Goalkeeper Situation


Saint Charlie

Recommended Posts

Can't see the PL allowing it. But if they do, I have a feeling JM fancies Cech playing for us against Citeh. Just in case they haven't got the league wrapped up by then.

 

chelsea would have won the league by then. no danger

on soccer sat, they were suggesting that Forster could be out for up to 12 months in a worst case scenario but now as little as 4 months....

 

I guess we will not really know more until we hit the summer and he has various assessments

I think either way though, he's going to miss a decent chunk of next season - if not the entirety of it - so I hope the club are planning for the worst case and looking for a new number 1. We can worry about them fighting for their place when he returns, but hopefully we'll then be in a position where we have 2 v good goal keepers battling it out. I remember when we were bitten 11 years ago as we bought stop gaps because ''Oakley and Killer will be back soon''. You've got to do what's best for the team now, really. You can never be sure with knee injuries.

They're the standard FA rules, the Premier League Handbook details the Premier League rules which overarch those (p200) http://m.premierleague.com/content/dam/premierleague/site-content/News/publications/handbooks/premier-league-handbook-2014-15.pdf:

 

v4.2 below mentions the discretion of granting a temporary transfer outside the Transfer Window:

 

"Transfer Windows

V.1. “Transfer Windows” means the 2 periods in a year during which, subject to Rule V.4, a Club

may apply for:

V.1.1. the New Registration of a player;

V.1.2. the registration of a player transferred to it; and

V.1.3. the registration of a Temporary Transfer.

V.2. The first Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on the last day of the

Season and shall end on 31st August next if a Working Day or, if not, on the first Working Day

thereafter, at a time to be determined by the Board.

V.3. The second Transfer Window in any year shall commence at midnight on 31st December and

shall end on 31st January next if a Working Day or, if not, on the first Working Day thereafter,

V.4.1. refuse an application; or

So basically it's proposed that we go on bended knee to the PL and try to explain that although we've 4 over 21 keepers on our books who are included on our PL squads 3 of them are utter crap although they've already played PL football and we need another one from a PL club to last the 7 remaining games of the season. They'll tell us to firk right off and that we should have resolved the problem at the appropriate time and not when our No1 keeper gets injured. #notalegtostandon

Probably, but can't blame them for trying.

In which case, we may as well get rid of two of those keepers.

Very surprised nobody has suggested Ali Al-Habsi a first rate keeper who is far to good for the Championship where Wigan Arthritic will be spending some years to recuperate.

 

He struggled this season to get game time for both Wigan and Brighton at the bottom of the Championship.

 

Championship where Wigan Arthritic will be spending some years to recuperate.

 

They are heading to League One next season.

Do you know of any guidelines from the FA as to what exceptional circumstances are?

 

Guess the club may have done idea, and if there is truth in this story they feel there is a possibility our circumstances are deemed exceptional.

 

Exceptional means unusual, uncommon.

 

Is it common for a team to lose its first choice keeper suddenly , for 12 months, outside of a window? I suggest not, therefore it could be as simple as that.

 

Who knows but there is nothing I can see in those rules which means they have to do as you say.

A very good shout! Knowing our luck we'll get Caesar Romero...

 

My FM10 Champions League winning keeper with Saints, which can only be good news.

 

No sign of my 70 goal a season front three Rob Knight, Jordan Peretti and Anis Demange though, also no testimonial for former Hamilton turned 8.5 rated Champions league defender Brian Easton and his testimonial at the end of a glorious 10 year rise from League one with my legendary team.

 

......Ive wasted too much of my life on that game.

Apart from anything else, I can't see the Prem allowing us to get an emergency loan which is clearly prejudicial to the title race as we have to play one of Chelsea's rivals. Then again, they allowed the Skates to get their parachute payments advanced to get them through and out of the division completing their fixtures, and the whole Tevez and Mascherano Sheffield United debacle wasn't exactly high on the moral compass of fairness either.

Would agree that Davis should have done much better for the first. IT was almost as if he totally misjudged the situation, made an panicked attempt to get to it and in doing so, left himself out of position for the rebound. The funny thing is, I think FF would have handled the situation better.:smug:

we were looking at Ben Amos before Forsters injury...would fit the profile well

 

Was out with his cousin a few weeks ago, mentioned we were looking for a new keeper and he would be a decent backup option!

 

He's not renewing his contract with Man Utd. He was told he'd be Man Utd's second choice keeper at the start of the season, then he barely got on the bench. Will try and ask him if he's heard anything...

Keeper situation pretty dire. Too much faith in those proven to not even be good enough backup.

 

Has contributed to a poor end to a great season but at least its undeniable we only have one keeper on the books that is anywhere near PL quality and he is injured until 2016.

 

Priority one for the summer.

I make it that we are if anything worse off this season in the GK department as I don't think Stekelenburg is as good as Forster and Davis has aged even more.

 

Was our weakest position last year and cost us points at the end of the aeason and could do again this year if Stekelenburg misses any games until Forster is back.

 

Davis should be a no 3 (or retired tbh) and Gazza needs to get out on loan to play mens football and build his confidence back at a level he is capable at.

 

We could really use another GK IMO.

No we don't. You can't just buy players because one of them has an injury. We don't stop paying Forster just because he's injured. We have MS and Gazzaniga should be no.2 until FF returns

I think we do actually. Kelvin is not up to it, and really neither is Gazza. We most definitely need another keeper. Forster may well be out nearly all season. Relying on KD and Gazza as backup again is just plain daft.

 

Sorry, misread your post earlier, thought it said playing, not paying :-) Thought it was an odd thing to say.
