Bet he is still only 18? 

[Jattdogg]

Never a thought a 3rd choice keeper thread would be hot. 

 

Club legend already he signs with a statue!

Do not need a third choice keeper. If a crisis occurred on the unlikely scenario that Ward and Iversen both got bad injuries, then you’d just promote somebody from the U23s. Wages should’ve been spent elsewhere.

Ridiculous argument, if we were in a position where Ward gets a long term injury, and Iversen is sent off in a game, who do you want coming on? Am experienced pro or some 19 year old who hasn’t played a game before.

For anyone complaining about the money, don’t see it as money spent on Smithies, see it as a huge investment in Stolarczyk- highly related keeper we have who now needs to go out and play games. He can’t do that if we don’t have cover.

It is a football forum. All of these things are pretty likely to be discussed because of that.

Strange signing. Surely we should be looking to sign a high class first choice. We don’t need a 3rd choice keeper who is going to be on decent wages.

Bit of a difference between a discussion and constant moaning though?

 wondered how many this would catch.

 

It was a joke. 

 

Remember a forum is also a place for light-hearted fun and a little mickey taking.

Yeah, don’t get the fuss. Means Stolarczyk can go out on loan, who is considered by coaches according to reports as the keeper with the highest potential, while we retain Iversen as our back up while minimising any costs.

But what if he gets injured too, and sent off?  What then?

Frank would be better - ooh, that ties in with a joke I made in the Madders thread. I’m on fire. 

[RowlattsFox]

Just what we'd been hoping for  In many ways it makes sense, we need to spend as little wages as possible on a 3rd keeper or not have one. Means Storlarcyk can get some games somewhere.

At this point we become entitled to an emergency loan under PL rules.

Looking forward to it emerging that he's actually our new first choice

Pretty much the only marginally positive thing that’s happened, so you can’t blame us really. Tally Ho, on to 20 pages.

Mate, the lad will not be on decent wages….. it’s exactly the type of third choice keeper we need…..
