The Left Back Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 I've started a new thread on this (my first) rather than carry it on under the McCarthy and Lewis threads. My understanding is that if both McCarthy and Forster are injured we can sign a keeper because Lewis hasn't made enough appearances. Am I out of date with this? For the many on here who don't rate any of our keepers here's the chance to get some fresh blood in. Not the ideal scenario I know but if the footballing gods are conspiring to offer us our own mini-window, who would you bring in? I guess the market is loans from other clubs or short-term signings from out of contract players.
badgerx16 Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 (edited) The rule says that all the registered keepers must be injured, certified by an independant practitioner, or unavailable due to international call up. Assuming Lewis is registerd he needs to contract CoViD pretty quick. Edited 4 December, 2021 by badgerx16
The Kraken Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Is it a requirement to have a registered keeper on the bench? If so, we may have a lifeline?
badgerx16 Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 (edited) Just looked up the rules. ( Always helps ). As posted in the OP, an emergency loan should be feasible, under Rule 57, due to Lewis' lack of first team games, but in reality who would be available ? https://www.efl.com/contentassets/b3cd34c726c341ca9636610aa4503172/regulations-season-2021-22-final.pdf Edited 4 December, 2021 by badgerx16

He's sat around doing nothing. What's Karius doing at Liverpool? There's a load of 3rd keepers lurking around who could come in for a few weeks as long as their club are happy for them to go off somewhere and get some games. 1 1
Baird of the land Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Assume it would have to be free agents, looking at transfermarket at UK keepers that's a very poor bunch (The likes of Ben Alnwick/Lee Camp). Might as well just give Bycroft or Lewis the gametime.

Appy Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Emergency loan you’re probably looking at Heaton or Randolph. 1
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Can anyone think of any examples of emergency loans in this league and who the teams managed to get in?

EBS1980 Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Get Heaton for a month then go get Johnstone in January window 1
Manuel Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 (edited) Who can remember which outfield player ended up in goal, possibly away at Newcastle about 2008? Give or take 3 years? edit: Dexter Blackstock? Edited 4 December, 2021 by Manuel

So maybe slightly different.
VectisSaint Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Find it unlikely that Forster would not be available, even Macca will probably be OK, for a keeper its not really that bad an injury (though he may be suffering more from the kick in the balls that Ralph gave him). Anyway what is the point of employing a keeper and then not playing him when the situation arises. Mad. We also have 3 goalkeeper coaches, get Sparkes kitted up to sit on the bench (please not SKD). 1 1
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Hamstrings are normally 6 to 8 weeks, aren’t they?

HarvSFC Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 The one time we need Stuart Taylor… And he left three years ago, where’s that time gone? Only emergency goalkeeper signings I can remember us making are Keller and Wright. Keller did a job, while Wright was actually decent, albeit at a lower level, but he did play a big part in keeping us up. Man City signed Martin Fulop on an emergency loan as well once, adding to the examples above. Either way, Lewis can’t play against Arsenal. His last game for us was against Arsenal’s second string, where he conceded 5 - A Walcott hat trick and Welbeck double. He can’t play against the real Arsenal. Looking at the list of free agents, a 40 year old Caballero is probably the best option, unfortunately. And looking at the Premier League squads, the third choices are quite dire. Heaton being the best name, but he hasn’t played a league game for near two years now.
Appy Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 35 minutes ago, Master Bates said: Kelvin Davis can do it. At least he’d keep up the consistency of our keepers letting goals in at the near post. 2
Saint Garrett Posted 4 December, 2021 Posted 4 December, 2021 Alex Cook reporting that we’re looking into Willy Cabarello. Probably no chance then…

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 December, 2021 Posted 5 December, 2021 Talking of emergency loan keepers, what's Kasey Keller doing these days? I imagine he's enjoying his retirement from playing but probably still a better bet than Macca... 😂

aintforever Posted 5 December, 2021 Posted 5 December, 2021 Would be great if we can get an emergency signing, might be a turning point of the season if we actually have a decent keeper.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 5 December, 2021 Posted 5 December, 2021 Some state of affairs when you're genuinely thinking an emergency loan option is likely to improve your chances. 2

If that happened you'd know it would just end up being another Martín Cáceres type situation, pay him £100k a week to sit on the bench and be an understudy to Harry Lewis.
Dusic Posted 5 December, 2021 Posted 5 December, 2021 Why is Harry Lewis, aged 23 even at the club if they need to sign another goalkeeper so he doesn't have to play on the only occassion he is actually required? He should have been let go years ago. 1

Defenders used to regularly take goal kicks, its not the most important part of a goalkeeper's play, and if it protects an injury it is fine.

BUT, sounds like his injury is worse than it sounded when I made the comment last night. Edited 5 December, 2021 by VectisSaint

Yeah but Taylor was in his late thirties and was barely even third choice, he’d done the same role at Man City. Lewis is early twenties and his career is going nowhere, there’s a good reason, because he’s terrible.
