Where is the big Ajax Dutch keeper bloke we singed last year?

Loaned out last season..at 6ft 8 you'd imagine he doesn't have the data to support contributing a great deal in a RDZ team.

Very strange we are not looking to develop him…maybe we are, but who knows

 

[nwgull]

The guy wants 1st team football, that we can’t promise him.
So if he wants that , imagine he will go to Burnley.

I doubt that we’re bidding 15-20m for a back-up keeper.

In Austria.

Seem to be getting closer to a deal if Romano is anything to go by

Lets hope that the Twatter whore is right. It makes sense to come here as we're established PL side, in Europe etc..

But the Kompany connection and that Anderlechts former GK coach is now at Burnley, you'd think that would add to their attraction.

At the end of the day it probably comes down to who offers the best deal for the club and player and you'd expect we'll be able to offer more with the other players Burnley would want to bring in.

Not living in Burnley would be a major selling point from our recruitment guys.

And Burnley may struggle to stay up

In Austria.

Did we send him on loan or sell him?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

It's tough to bring in a keeper as usually when you do there is an issue with the one you have so you're effectively promising the incoming keeper the first go at the number one spot. In this instance Steele has been exceptional and does not deserve to be dropped.

And personally if I was deciding whether to be a cup keeper for Brighton or an undisputed first choice for Burnley I would choose Burnley, notwithstanding that it's a dreadful town and they will probably go down. He won't live there and he'll have a relegation clause inserted.

If we really want him, we'll have to offer him more in my view. The first go at the number one shirt. Incredibly harsh on Steele, but he's bounced back before and I think he can do it again.

feel like there will be more than enough games to go around next season. and i doubt we’d be buying him for that figure, especially when historically we haven’t spent much on goalkeepers, if there wasn’t an indication that he would be our starting keeper pretty soon

He was on a 12 month loan to Vitesse. Last night both Scherpen and Verbruggen played a half each for the Netherlands u21s.

From what I'm reading about his talent, and given our current goalkeeper situation, I suspect he could end up being our number one by the end of the season.

Like many of our young players, we won't want to rush him - but just like the others, if he's good enough, then he could easily become a key player in our first XI early on.

Scherpen + Cash possibly??

I know the old football manager/fifa p/ex don’t happen very often but it would work pretty well for both sides?

Not the worst shout i've heard this morning

Villa might want to hold on to Cash though.

Albion need three keepers. If Sanchez is being sold (likely) and Rushworth and Beadle and Scherpen are having further loans (likely) with a view to them joining the set up further down the line then Steele needs a #2 - perhaps Verbruggen as the #2 with McGill as the non playing #3.

It would be astounding if McGill doesn't go out on loan.

He has less professional appearances than all of Scherpen, Rushworth and even Beadle.

Non-playing indeed.
