MPH Posted 23 April 2011 Posted 23 April 2011 Well I'd sooner pay £4,000,000 for a young quality goalkeeper, who you know is better than the one you have, than get one for free whos close to retirement, past it and may not be better than the one you have. Just because we have Sven in charge doesnt actually mean we can sign anyone we want.... besides... Ricardo came in outside of a transfer window... he was the best we could get at the time....
MC Prussian Posted 23 April 2011 Posted 23 April 2011 Well I'd sooner pay £4,000,000 for a young quality goalkeeper, who you know is better than the one you have, than get one for free whos close to retirement, past it and may not be better than the one you have. Are you actually a Leicester fan? Because I can read you referring to us as "you" (like someone from the outside) very often, but you never use "we". Ricardo past it? 35 is a good age for a goalkeeper. Van der Sar is 40, Mark Schwarzer 38, Brad Friedel 39, Jens Lehmann 41, Jussi Jaaskelainen 36, Shay Given 35. They all past it? Heck, even Kasey Keller is still playing at age 41 (albeit in the MLS). Well, yeah... ambitious theory. I give you that.
Asha Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 ambitious theory. I give you that. To be fair to the chap, his theory was considerably less ridiculous than your post-boro 'the ref must have been a racist' theory.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 Would cream me jeans if we decided to get Mitch Langerak.....would be my number one wish
Kitchandro Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 Excellent eccentric back-up. Who cares if if he drops a clanger, he can always make up for it with a scorpion kick at the other end Wildcard. Our away kit next season?
z-layrex Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 The reason we didn't make the playoffs was because we sucked away, stop scapegoating weale for ****s sake.
Guest Bilo Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 If Rangers are as skint as we're led to believe, a bid for Allan McGregor wouldn't go amiss. I doubt he'd cost a fortune and looked impregnable against Celtic today, saving a penalty in the process.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 i hate nocking our players but Weales howler would have been bad against anyone but against the red scum its unforgivable - sorry
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 April 2011 Posted 24 April 2011 I well remember Mark Wallington, who took over from Peter Shilton. Very solid keeper, but not quite up there with Shilts or Banksy. Wish he was around now as a youngster.
Thracian Posted 25 April 2011 Posted 25 April 2011 Goalkeeping coach, defensive coach... some people's heads should be on a platter. anyone can drop a clanger on the pitch, but the constant mistakes are the fault of the management/coaching team. It the constant stream of mistakes which has cost us in every single game after the Cardiff one (where we were just lacklustre) You can add the attacking coach as well. Too often a lack of numbers in the box, lack of movement, a low a shots-to-goals ratio, aimless crosses, no aerial ball winners, no near post runners, Wellens passing the buck instead of shooting, apparently unrehearsed/uniaginative free kicks and predictable corners, lack of real pace or people to go past defenders...
