Was there something about him that in 4 seasons he hasn’t kept a clean sheet? 
He will fit in well here. 
We do well if we keep a clean sheet for 4 mins. 

That's unfair, he had a poor defence in front of him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh! Hang on......

Stolarcyck's injury is a clear as day example of why this sort of signing is needed.

 

All it takes is another oaf barging into McCarthy and we're down to one senior keeper with us needing to keep French and Bausor around every Saturday and Tuesday.

 

Rather spend £50k to ensure they can keep playing youth football.

 

Like I say, if the crux of the justification signing him is that he won't be needed, then it is a pointless signing.

But the point of signing him is that he might be needed.

 

Like saying it's pointless to insure your phone for damage. Easy to say it's needless until you drop it and it's smashed up.

At the moment he can be considered both necessary and unnecessary, a Schrodinger's goalkeeper situation

and how far do you take that? why don't we have a 5th choice senior keeper, because it McCarthy gets injured as well then this lad becomes back up to Ravizzoli, and then what if Ravizzoli gets injured...

 

at some point you have to say "the u21s can cover from here" and frankly we've already passed it. One senior keeper who is meant to never make a squad is a PL idea which feels foolish down here, but you can justify it as something that is done at most clubs. Having 4 senior keepers on your books because one got injured is utterly stupid. Like if we're taking the "it's commonplace" argument for the Ravizzoli signing not being a waste of resources - you don't see Prem clubs going out and signing a 4th choice goalkeeper if they get an injury.

We're starting a GK farm.

I think you mean a goalkeeper sanctuary:)

Three out of contract goalkeepers signed with a combined age of 100, and a total of 18 starts last season between them. No doubt McCarthy sets the standard for passing out from the back, a prerequisite for a RM goalkeeper, and I assume Cornell will approach that standard if he ever plays.

 I note last season Cornell is so good he one of back ups behind Daniel Iversen  - remember him!
