Tony J Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Another clueless GK analogy. You'll fit in well here. You have just demonstrated that you are yet another completely clueless football supporter who has nothing to say so hurls an insult at the first opportunity He is not a top class goalkeeper - he is a good goalkeeper - but you need more than that to be a really successful team. Whilst ever his position is not even under threat he will continue to be full of his own importance and continue to make basic positional errors that will continue to cost us goals and possibly games

Whilst ever his position is not even under threat he will continue to be full of his own importance and continue to make basic positional errors that will continue to cost us goals and possibly games I can't say there a many teams with 2 goalkeepers vying for the number 1 shirt. If you look at the majority of teams in the league they have a first choice keeper and they'll play all season. We need better back up but you will struggle to get a keeper in, better or equal to Schmeichel without one of them getting disgruntled and leaving due to lack of football.
Lesta Legend Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Another goal at the weekend that ANY top goalkeeper would have stopped - a header from what - a yard out? Can.Not.breathe. Got to be a troll
Swiper Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 We will not be a top ten team until we get a goalkeeper who is as good as Schmeichel thinks he is. His handling is poor - don;t even mention balls into the box - can he actually catch a moving ball at all? At fault for one of the Sunderland goals - lucky not to concede what was a definite penalty when out of position AGAIN against West Ham Another goal at the weekend that ANY top goalkeeper would have stopped - a header from what - a yard out? I hear Neuer has told Bayern to sell him to Leicester immediately.
Lesta2014 Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I think one will be a keeper which ranieri said he's wanted since pretty early in pre season! Surprised we haven't really been linked with any yet?

Schmeichel could be improved upon so if he gets disgruntled and leaves so be it. There are of course other positions that need stengthening but if we have the money and someone is available I'd be happy to see a better keeper come in. And for those who mention Hart and Neuer, Schmeichel isn't even close to them. Schmeivhel was great at the end of last season, just seems to have reverted to the form he showed at the start of last season.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I'd like a right back and a winger but I'd not be surprised if it's Amartey and a back up 'keeper.
MPH Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I know that if we got amartey , that his experience is as a CB and DM... but he seems to have what is needed to make a good wing back..
shen Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I know that if we got amartey , that his experience is as a CB and DM... but he seems to have what is needed to make a good wing back.. Based on what?
stox259 Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Need a wide man (a winger not a fatty) and a right back. Then for me the squad is compete until January and we can't start this all over again. I'll miss this mad sh1t September 2nd
benpicko Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 A goalkeeper and a winger to play on the right considering we have Schlupp and Fuchs as back up on the left
ronnup Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 We desperately need a second keeper and ideally a versatile wide player.
sdb Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Why would we need a GK? Only positions that might need improving for now is RB and wingers (as we're short there). Personally I think any more change this window might do more harm than good. I'd rather we work with what we have and see again in Jan.
SheppyFox Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 its gotta be a right back surely?Hope so, RB and a winger I rekon!
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Why would we need a GK? Only positions that might need improving for now is RB and wingers (as we're short there). Personally I think any more change this window might do more harm than good. I'd rather we work with what we have and see again in Jan. Why? Because when our back up was ill v West Ham we had very little experience to call on now that Hamer has gone on loan. I said on Saturday I'm jot that happy with KS form, he's started like last season but it seems there's not much pressure being applied to his position. A 40 something reserve isn't really going to unsettle him, but he's not at his best IMO.
Tom's Pasta Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 Winger and right back would be my preferences. If mahrez or albrighton get injured we'd be really lacking something

We can't just buy players as soon as a player looks mildly shakey. And what's the point of 4 keeper's (not including youth players...one of whom may be more than capable back up for a game or two)?

We've lost THREE keepers so far, even if it's a young keeper with potential, we could do with another.

Whilst ever his position is not even under threat he will continue to be full of his own importance and continue to make basic positional errors that will continue to cost us goals and possibly games I used to go down the 'having something to say' route. These days I prefer to laugh at the thought of people like you trying to understand the concept of what a goalkeeper is there for. Don't worry, you're not alone. In fact the majority of 'experts' don't understand goalkeeping either.
Thracian Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 I still think we need a 15/20 goals-a-season striker for all that I'm moderately pleased with what we've got and slightly concerned about how well we're likely to feed any strikers if we stop playing the 3-5-2 system, with variations, that served us so well. Because 4-4-2 seems to stifle all our attacking potential and negates so many of our strengths rather than playing to them - as was so often the case when Pearson used the system before he wised up. More than that it's painful to watch. We should be celebrating the chance to play in the Premiership not treating it like some sort of penance. The Vikings didn't raid these shores and go all defensive. They marauded, pillaged and tried to make the whole trip worthwhile. We, on the other hand, treated almost the entire Spurs game like an excuse-me slowstep. We re-enacted "The Legion's Last Stand" just behind the halfway line and even when we did pose a token threat we still left most of our army back in base camp maintaining their border patrol. If this is going to be Ranieri's last challenge in football he needs to leave something behind to reflect the beautiful game in all its glory and spectacle - not the tedium of a regimented 4-4-2 where chances and rarer than white tigers. I presume it was down to the heat because, surely, no-one would normally ask a team with such pace and movement as ours to play in a straightjacket against big, strong players whose presence filled the narrowed spaces yet who needed to be stretched, twisted and turned like medieval prisoners on those ancient racks. I know we won a point and remember us getting lots of draws or narrow defeats in the past because of our caution. What made us a lot better was attacking in numbers and trying to score from all angles. In other words trying to reflect our own personality instead of being governed by the fear of someone else's. Yes, the point was okay. But we're better than that. The Spurs defence was nothing like as good as we made em look by playing a system that so pointedly discouraged a lack of attacking support - for all that we still need reinforcements.
Vlad the Fox Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 We've got a 15/20 goals a season winger, will that do?
sdb Posted 24 August 2015 Posted 24 August 2015 We've lost THREE keepers so far, even if it's a young keeper with potential, we could do with another. We had 1 too many, Smith was basically a youth keeper and we've enough of them to not see that as a loss. Conrad was surplus (for about 10 years) and Hamer is just a recall away. That's my view of it anyway!
