Lets hope he has. A good amount of cash to spend on a decent keeper and probably another player as well from Kippers wages.

so either

1/ you reckon Kuipers will go for good money , how do you know anyone is interested?

2/ he was on a massive wage packet , which would be rare for Albion

to be honest i'd be gutted if Kuipers went but it's typical of us ,we have two fantastic keepers in Henderson and Kuipers and due to in house bickering we lose both in a few months of each other

yeah i like Flinders but he won't be here next year will he? so Sully and Martins need to learn fast then..

Nobody will buy Kuipers, I reckon he'll go on a free to a League 2 club but he is on big wages (for us anyway). I reckon with his wages we can get in a decent out of contract keeper of even a season long loan and also be able to grab another 1st teamer.

2) He is the highest earner at the club. FACT!

fair enough i guess ,apologies :blush: just a shame though - start of the season thought we had the players to be solid at the back and over the season we now have gaping holes forming.

I think that the decision to keep Flinders is based on the fact that we are not mathematically safe. Had we won yesterday he would have gone back, I am sure.

I would suggest that this definiltely points to the end of Kuipers. Apart from the fact that Flinders is a far far better keeper it would indicate that DW is not happy to entrust our survival to Kuipers hands, which would indicate that he is not part of the long term plan and will be released very soon.

It has been said that he is one of, if not the highest, earners at the club. This being the case the only way that DK can calculate on a promotion run next season ona slightly reduced budget, is by reducing the wage bill and bringing in players of equal quality and ability on lower wages.

On a reduced wage fine, I would have no problem with that as he is a good back up keeper. If he stays what happens to Sullivan and Martin if we bring in another No 1 we would not need 4 keepers.

I think you must be on drugs mate. Kuipers is a quality keeper. Haven't seen anything in Flinders, and Henderson before, that convinces me they are any better.

Football is about opinions mine is that Kuipers makes simple routine saves look good to impress the fans and like the last 5 managers here do not rate him as the No 1 and I am sure that next season he will not be, come what may.
