Matt Ryan - SIGNED FOR CLUB RECORD TRANSFER FEE

[Whoislloydy]

Rubbish. Height is extremely important for a keeper. 6' is small and a concern

Valdes, Vorm and Bravo all 6ft

I did report he was on our radar many weeks ago.

The Sun said he was a target on May 9th

6ft tall.... sure i like my keepers a little bigger if possible, does it mean he wont be good on crosses and command his area ?...... NO

Not that i have ever seen him play.

Rubbish. So Peter Shilton wasn't tall enough for a goalkeeper then.

His twitter seems to suggest he's currently in Oz.

wouldn't you rather be in Oz at the moment ?

 

[McTavish]

Apparently he spells his name Mathew with only one T (and according to Wikipedia his nickname is Maty so presumably this thread should be entitled Mat Ryan.)

Not sure if this is flair or evidence of a sinister antipodean plot to undermine the spelling of solid English names.

Is not the length of their arms a factor with goalkeepers?


A 5'10" knuckle dragger would be better than a 6' 6" T Rex.

Just like his height he seems to be a little short

He's off to Newcastle now.

So Tammy, the Japanese bloke and now this keeper are all off to Newcastle.

Have we become there scouts?

if true then it's the same old story, news papers report that we are about to sign someone then they go elsewhere. Keep tight lipped and do the deal first.

I think Trigger's post that started this is a piss take.

Groundbreaking by the Albion to bring in a Quarterback to play in goal.

I'm guessing we are going to try and add JJ at centre forward as well now. The two of them link up great, and I would back JJ to win a whole host of headers with Matty Ice hitting him with the deep ball.

JJ going to Newcastle.

I'm flying to Adelaide to watch him on Thursday. But I don't rate him. Nowhere near as good as Stockdale.

 

[Notters]

Er, Paul Barber just landed in Valencia if it helps. ..

You'll do well to keep your natural confirmation bias in check and get a new objective opinion.
