Kuipers to Crawley?

[FamilyGuy]

Today's Crawley News says "Crawley were last night on the verge of signing Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Michael Kuipers.........he has got to be worth 9 or 10 points in a season......though he will face stiff competition from youngster Nick Jordan, who forced his way into the team late last season."

Good News all round?

Very poor move for him imho...he could easily play at a top League 2 team for the next 2-3 years...Someone like Dagenham/Aldershot.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Quite. Too good for non-league.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

With Kuipers at the helm they could easily be a league team, with save them loads of points and hopefully keep working for us in Blooms mystery role, two well paid jobs as well is not to sniffed at.

Will be odd if he plays agaisnt us pre season/Sussex senior cup.

My Dad doesn't have much Albion gossip, but he told me the Kuipers wanted to play for Crawley and work for the albion. However, Crawley only want him as a full-time player. Therefore, Kuipers will probably look to play at a league club instead.

Source; um, my Dad - not sure where he heard it, or how reliable it is.

didn't their gaffer say would only be signing on a full time basis? Dread to think of the wage cut he would need to take

 

[PC BHA]

their website reporting he has signed...

He may not want to relocate.

 

[westy]

That’s a marriage of convenience if ever i heard of one.

 

[Silent Bob]

Would be disappointing on two counts, firstly he can do much better, secondly with him in goal they will probably stand a good chance of promotion.

My Dad = rubbish source. Kuipers has signed for Crawley.

Interesting quote:
He also comes highly recommended by all his former managers, two of them tried to sign him this week...

Get a second opionion from your mum.

They should reconsidor as a part time Kuipers would still be the best in the conference.

Great signing for them, guess the role at the Albion takes a back seat for year or two

'Two of his former managers tried to sign him' Wonder who they were?

Looks like he may have turned down better offers;

''I have come here to try and help get this football club to the next level and I believe we can do that otherwise I would have chosen one of the many other options I had''.

Well it's two from three isn't. Wouldn't be Wilkins or McGhee.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Former managers being Adams and Taylor I assume.

 

[wellquickwoody]

I honestly wish HIM well.

I hope he suffers relegation next season too!

Possibly Slade?

 

[Mellotron]

I assumed Adams and Slade.

Who is Taylor managing now?
