[honeybradger]

The same Okonkwu that was ousted from Wrexham's starting XI by Danny Ward?

 

F me.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

He's ****ing shite

[RedSoxUK]

I rate him. Sniff.

Tehcnically poor and Martinball don't fit do they? Non story IMO.

[StanSP]

Average save percentage last season. 

Conceded 53 goals in 39 games. 

 

Average signing but can't really expect more these days. Just hope we don't pay over the odds. 

 

If Stolarczyk is staying he has to be the #1?! 

[Iwebema]

Seems an odd one, I dont think hes good on the ball? Feels like a non negotiable for Russ ball

I don't see any point in buying in new keepers if Jakub stays as number 1.

[kingfox]

He ranked 2nd for save percentage when in League 1, but he hasn’t been in a system where playing out from the back is seen as a key aspect, he ranked bottom for short pass average in the Championship last season, and third from bottom when in League One two seasons ago, unless I’m missing something, he’d be a strange option for Russell ball, when the likes of Joe Whitworth and Teddy Sharman-Lowe are more than likely available and better suited.

29 in League 2, think he got about 40 the year before that in the National League. I would be ok with someone like this, so long as we sign someone else in case this didn't work 

 

Absolutely the sort of signing we should be making.

didnt settle in london by all accounts.

would get 20+ goals for us next season , no probs.

Dont want any goalkeeper thats got ‘the odd howler in him’. We’ve had plenty of those over the years. What we want is consistency. And when you bring a manager in who wants to play a certain style then you sign players that fit that style. A goalkeeper thats shite technically is not that style. It really isnt rocket science

Nope, he seems completely at odds with the attributes the manager wants for his system, no functioning organisation would recruit someone this unsuitable for their new leader.

 

Welcome aboard Arthur! 

[Ted Maul]

This is going to be a ****ing depressing summer. 

 

Fully expect us to try and sign catflap hands Bazunu from Southampton.

[coolhandfox]

We seen to like collecting crap keepers, the only decent ones we have sign in the last 12 years are Kasper and Mads.

 

Since we sign Kasper we have sign some crap.

 

Begovic 

Vieites

Smithies

Ward

Jakupović

Zieler

Schwarzer

Hamer

and ironically, I always considered that we had a fairly rich history of good goalkeeper, up until the 10 or so years…

[GLC]

We’re going to be linked with so many dross players over the next few weeks, as we’re a big name in this league. 
 

can’t wait to be linked to Callum Paterson

Kasper and Mads aside I'd agree. 

 

We seem to have a habit of signing non playing keepers.

[jv1]

Might have had an interest pre Martin but zero chance we sign a keeper that can’t play out under the new gaffer - no chance this is happening 

 

as above we are basically going to be linked with everyone that is to crap for the championship by players and their agents over coming weeks just to try and get any interest for themselves 

[Ric Flair]

I don't know much about Okonkwo, he found it very easy to keep Ward out the team given he played 39 of 46 games but thats not a solid baseline is it. Sounds like he's got appalling distribution which makes this signing peak Leicester given the manager we've now employed.

[orangecity23]

It's wild how the club will move heaven and earth to make sure they have at least 3 senior keepers on the books at all times and would never dare leave themselves without a heavily experienced third choice keeper on the off chance the other 2 sprain their wrists playing a game of hungry hungry hippos on the team bus, but they have no qualms whatsoever about going an entire season without having a first choice striker.

Ward was out injured for most of that time wasn’t he, so I assume he played mostly through necessity.
 

Ward definitely started last season as first choice.

I think some context is needed for these though – none were ever meant as 1st choice, and in some cases they're 3rd choice options. In the main perfectly serviceable, if unremarkable, back up options in case of emergency.

 

Spending £12m on Ward was the worst deal the club has ever done though.
