Alex McCarthy joins on deal to 2028

[Hales]

Bring Stol back in

[Tielemans63]

Being Martin's mate must have been the only criteria for signing this bozo. He should have retired ages ago. He's not good at anything a goalkeeper should be good at.

Absolutely baffling signing this. Given Martins style of play, and the fact Martin had him at Southampton for a season, had seen him in action and didn’t fancy him. For him to then go ahead and sign him for Leicester is bonkers. Just cannot get my head around the logic on this one at all. 

[ealingfox]

Absolute shite this lad

[Kierzz]

That first goal going in reminded me of Ward.

 

I'm not Stolarcyk's biggest fan but he is a lot better han that 

[StanSP]

I thought he was being brought in as a back up. 

 

On what fvcking planet is he better than Stolarczyk right now? 

 

 

[waddadamadda]

I feel annoyed as we have such a strong history of decent keepers and we had to sit and watch that today. At no point did it register with him that he was a complete tit when it came to pratting about the it the ball inside the box. He showed zero urgency and completely baffled me. 

[Clever Fox]

I don't understand why Jakub was dropped in the first place. He has improved his footwork and taking crosses as seen in preseason.

 

 

He would have saved the first Goal. McCarthy made no effort.

[trooky]

Reminiscent of watching prime Ward with his lack of athleticism on both goals. 

[FoxinNotts]

Should not be starting

Bench please

This is the one decision that’s the biggest worry for me about Martin. Having a good keeper is absolutely key and yet he’s surrounded himself with unreliable GK’s since he was at Southampton. The purchase and the selection of McCarthy is bizarre. He’s a career (veteran) back up keeper and he’s not going to improve now and he’s not even good with his feet

He certainly isn't as good a keeper as Jakub. Plus there's a lot of upside with Jakub wheras McCarthy is on the way down.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Performed like he hasn’t played for a couple of seasons. It’s a no from me.

[RGFox]

Another one who thinks he's Edersen or Alison and holds onto the ball too long and plays us into trouble...surely they haven't been told to do this.

Martin recruited McCarthy specifically to play out from the back despite the fact that McCarthy clearly has no ability whatsoever to play that way.

 

 

[Dan]

Should shake hands and pay him off.

Jakub is an a poor keeper, but is better than Mcarthey

[LVFox]

Shit - we knew he was shit - we’d already seen he was shit, especially when playing out from the back as we knew we would do under Martin.

 

Stol is miles better (even though not suited himself).

 

Martin’s overseeing of transfer activity is a major **** up.

 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Another 💩 signing, we just never learn. One mistake after another. 

[Clever Fox]

Maybe it's just me, But I saw a big improvement in Jakub during the pre season games. Playing with his feet and coming way out off his goal line.

 

Something he never done before. Even his punching and catching of crosses was so much better than last season. Where he used to stay on his goal line.

 

 We've all seen him makes saves he had no right to get, yet somehow he kept the Ball out of the Net.

 

Let him play and keep improving while also increasing his value, as opposed to playing McCarthy.

[Number 6]

I kind of understand managers going with players the know and trust. It takes a bit of a risk out of a transfer because they can vouch for the character and know what type of player they're getting.

 

So Martin has signed a player he chose not to use when Bazunu was fit at Southampton. Absolutely nuts. He didn't trust him to play his style of play at Southampton, and now we get the find out why. Slow hand clap all round.

[Fox92]

What did we expect really? He's a 36 year old goalkeeper. Who is backing this sort of transfer? If I work for the club and the manager tells me he wants to sign a 36 year old goalkeeper then I'd be saying no.

He should be backup. We all assumed that when it was announced. To see him number 1 is a shock.

[Nolucklcfc]

Another waste of wages, he’s no better or worse than Jak …

Probably worse actually.
