igsey Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 I'm surprised but it makes sense when you think about it, assuming Sam wanted 3 goalkeepers: Hart Forster Heaton Obviously Forster has hurt himself in training, so the possible replacements would be Butland (injured), Pickford (injured), Foster (retired from internationals), Green (sh*te), Ruddy (old and likely to have retired by the World Cup)... I guess McCarthy was next in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 He's not part of the set-up now is he? Nope. Looking at who the other options are, and to be fair, there aren't that many: Leicester - Kasper Schmeichel, Ron-Robert Zieler, Ben Hamer Arsenal - Petr Cech, David Ospina, Emiliano Martinez, Matt Macey Tottenham - Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm, Pau Lopez Man City - Claudio Bravo, Wily Caballero Man United - David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Sam Johnstone Saints - Fraser Forster, Alex McCarthy, Stuart Taylor West Ham - Adrian, Darren Randolph, Raphael Spiegel Liverpool - Simon Mignolet, Loris Karius, Alex Manninger Stoke - Jack Butland, Shay Given, Jakub Haugaard, Lee Grant Chelsea - Thibaut Courtois, Asmir Begovic Everton - Maarten Stekelenburg, Joel Robles Swansea - Lukasz Fabianski, Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Mark Birighitti, Gerhard Tremmel Watford - Heurelho Gomes, Costel Pantilimon, Rene Gilmartin, Giedrius Arlauskis West Brom - Ben Foster, Boaz Myhill, Jack Rose Palace - Steve Mandanda, Wayne Hennessey, Julian Speroni Bournemouth - Artur Boruc, Adam Federici, Ryan Allsop Sunderland - Vito Mannone, Jordan Pickford Burnley - Tom Heaton, Nick Pope, Paul Robinson (yes, that one) Middlesbrough - Victor Valdes, Brad Guzan, Dimi Konstantopoulos Hull - David Marshall, Alan McGregor, Eldin Jakupovic So of 61 goalkeepers registered in PL squads this season, only 15 are English. Of those, only Forster, Butland, Foster and Heaton are first-choice for their club - plus Joe Hart, assuming he'll be first pick for Torino. Butland is currently injured, and I don't think the FA are willing to consider Ben Foster anymore after he made himself unavailable for selection a few years ago. Jordan Pickford might have been selected, but he's had to withdraw from the U21s through injury, and with Hart pretty much a shoo-in to play on Sunday, it's hardly worth bringing in Paul Robinson at the age of 38, who hasn't played for England since 2007. Fairly slim pickings, with all that in mind, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merrimd Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 Really surprised we have let this happen. England have already sent our first choice back injured, it makes no sense to then send them our second choice. This could come back and bite us!!!!

wild-saint Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 so let me get this right. Can we consider our transfer business even better as we also signed an England International. Are people less whelmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 so let me get this right. Can we consider our transfer business even better as we also signed an England International. Are people less whelmed? We signed a non-international and turned him into an international and hiked his value in a matter of weeks, pretty much the plan generally.

Badger Posted 1 September, 2016 Share Posted 1 September, 2016 Good luck to McCarthy but the fact England have to call up a GK who seldom featured last season and is our current reserve goes to show the limited options of quality available now.

Lighthouse Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 You mean like Lallana, Lambert and Clyne did? Wasn't it Clyne, Lovren and Mané who scored at Anfield?

John Boy Saint Posted 3 September, 2016 Share Posted 3 September, 2016 I thought Pickford looked pretty good last weekend, but I guess he has had a call from Mr Moyes to fall over and feel a bit queezy as Sunderland have injury issues with Mannone.
