He'll be on less than £20k a week and I'm convinced we sell Iversen in the next 12 months. Not sure I get this deal - will it generate a saving on Stolarczyk‘s wages? Isn’t he just occupying a squad place for numbers sake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying Smithies £1,000,000 GBP per annum to play 0 minutes is just a waste Twice as much money raised from upping the ticket prices 😂😂😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 Just now, Sol thewall Bamba said: Our issue is too many not contributing. The overwhelming likelihood is that he won't contribute one iota whilst being here. Is he significantly better than Odunze for example? He’s probably not better but would I rather see Odunze playing games for the Under 21s or being available for a loan, yes. 3rd keeper always travels with the squad - so we’d have a prospect doing zero development sitting in hotels every weekend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 1 minute ago, Fox92 said: 3rd choice keeper is just not needed, unless Iversen is going as Smithies becomes number 2 but that is no benefit considering Iversen's age. Just now, Stadt said: We have a goal keeping coach to do that. Paying Smithies £1,000,000 GBP per annum to play 0 minutes is just a waste Do you not both agree it's a bit of a unique season? We have an entire month where if we didn't sign a seasoned Pro as 3rd choice we would have NO goalkeepers as the other two are at the world cup. We're going to be training and playing freindlies during that time. We might even end up with 1 of the 2 coming back injured depending on what happens in Qatar. It just makes sense. Don't overthink it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithies is an experienced keeper in the modern game that can pass his knowledge on. By your argument, we shouldn't sign another CB as we've got Kolo Toure in the staff?

No, because you can play multiple CBs at any one time and they're much more likely to be injured/need to be rotated.

Don't overthink it. Surely that's irrelivant because we're gonna potentially have lots of players at the World Cup. If I was worried about injuries too then we minds well start signing three players in every position "just in case". Games played during World Cup time will be friendlies. We don't need to sign players for friendlies. Edited 11 August 2022 by Fox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 It's fine. This is really about freeing Stolarcyk to go out on loan, and Smithies is perfectly adequate as a low-cost third keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
