[Albion] Steven Hall - 19yo keeper singed from Adelaide United

[smiler]

Dont get the hang of our keeper recruitment policy. Over years have loads of good up and coming keepers which we loan out and then spend £20m on a keeper . When was last young keeper that came through to our 1st team.

Sanchez

 

[Audax]

Just off the top of my head our line of Succession currently seems to be:

Steele
Verbruggen
McGill
Scherpen
Rushworth
Beadle
Cahill
Reid
Fisher
Ferdinand
Mansell

Suspect after this season, Rushworth is either sold on for profit as being surplus to requirements, or jumps up that list significantly.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Will we play him HOME and AWAY?

Links up with Peupion...they could be neighbours(if we're doing antipodean telly jokes!)

No, apparently, he will be living next door to The SULLIVANS.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Let's hope he can play LB and take no PRISONERs approaching down the wing.

 

[fly high]

Aussie keeper? I wonder how big he is down under?

Just hope he's taller than Ryan.

 

[Bozza]

Remind me, how many goalkeepers are we allowed to put on the pitch at the same time?

It’s a sound strategy - they don’t seem to get injured, unlike absolutely everybody else.

(This post will bite me on the arse, won’t it?)

 

[chaileyjem]

So currently we have

Steele 33, Verbruggen 21, McGill 23
Beadle 19 (on loan at Sheff Weds)
Rushworth 22 (on loan at Swansea)
Scherpen 23 (on loan at Sturm Graz)


and
Killian Cahill (20) (the PL2 regular keeper this season)
Tommy Reid (18)

and for the u18s
Lorenz Ferdinand (17)

and i think the u16 keeper is Finlay Taylor.

but @AZ Gull will have the complete picture ! and a better idea of where he might fit.

oh. i see @jackalbion has done this already ... doh !

Just what we need another keeper

Pedantic, but Scherpen has returned from his loan due to injury, I believe.

 

[Whitechapel]

Just what we need another keeper

Agreed.

Can’t believe the club has spent our entire transfer budget and wasted the entire window on this when we need other players.

Err, Robert Sanchez? the guy we trained up and sold a few months ago for £25m?

Sanchez?

Err Sanchez?

Sanchez

It was Snachez wasn't it

 

[chaileyjem]

Agreed.

yep . the latest on Scherpen is that he's had an operation, won't play again for Sturm this season and will be "loaned again" in the 24/25 season

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I hear he’ll be in attendance tonight. He’s got a ticket in (prisoner cell) block H.

 

[junior]

He could be Neighbours with Cam Perpion.

 

[portlock seagull]

A like an Aussie, as long as they’re not acting like a complete GALLAH!

Plus Liam Doyle of the U15 squad who was called up for the England U15 training camp.

 

[kelvinnewman]

it's def a deliberate strategy isn't it? I think the idea might be that generally younger keepers are undervalued and there'd be plenty of opportunity to turn a profit on them?

Thinking more in the Gyökeres / østigård approach then the Caicedo way

 

[Braggfan]

11 but it might not be the best strategy.

Except when we play Man City

 

[Hiheidi]

It is a strategy. Popbitch reported on it last year!
