This is something that has been bugging me. Stolarczyk looked decent against Huddersfield. Not quite as good as Mads with the feet but played the same way and did what was asked of him in terms of the system. Part of me would like to be rotating the 2 during the season to make sure Stolarczyk gets game time for his development. Short term loans for keepers worry me as I see a lot of them just used for backup. He could go to somewhere like Fleetwood and only be used as backup. The fact that Stolarczyk can play our system makes him worth more to us than Iversen or Ward. Edited 20 August 2023 by Chelmofox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 20 August 2023 Share Posted 20 August 2023 Hermansen is no.1 and looks good value for it. Stolarczyk looks decent and is the next best at playing that role in Enzo's system, so he'll stay as no.2. Iversen is young, has a good reputation for his shot stopping and isn't on a huge contract. He'll be sold before the close of the window, hopefully for a good fee. Ward's reputation and value is in the gutter so I imagine we're stuck with him. He'll also be on the largest contract of all 5x goalkeepers too, so expect the best we can hope is a loan with his wages part covered. In itself that would be helpful. Smithies is cheap cover, and only has 1-year left on his deal. He'll probably stick about as third choice. Be interesting to see how it plays out over the remainder of the window as we cannot hit 11pm on Friday 1st September with 5x senior goalkeepers. It's an obvious area to streamline the squad and - hopefully - raise some funds through Iversen's sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply won't happen. And nor should it imo. If Stol is seen to be the next keeper we have capable of playing Enzos way then he needs to stay as the number 2. Going on loan will probably do nothing in terms of developing the game Enzo wants from his keepers anyway, so training with the squad and playing cup games is probably just as good and then we're covered if the shit hits the fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 20 August 2023 Share Posted 20 August 2023 And then if Herms gets injured as he already has after a solitary game we have to field a substandard player for the role which could screw our season.

Sly Posted 20 August 2023 Share Posted 20 August 2023 The issue with Ward will be his wages. He isn’t good enough for the Premier League, however he’s be a steady Championship goalkeeper. No one is paying to cover his wages though. I can only think Leeds might consider him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s your stereotypical third choice goalkeeper really. Bizarrely, we paid £12m for him! Let’s hope it was appearance based. I doubt he’ll ever play in the Premier League again.

Both players have one year left on their contract so it stops them leaving for free. Swansea have 2pts from three games so unlikely to threaten the top six on the evidence so far and I'm sure they'd love to sell Piroe before transfer deadline day and cash in whilst they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we give Kelechi enough starting minutes this season im sure he will be convinced to sign a new contract. From all accounts Piroe was the worst player on the pitch in the Swansea - Conventry game. I dont know why our fans are so obsessed with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
