Tim Krul *signed* on season long loan subject to medical

[scousefan]

Why has it taken so long fir this one to be announced?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Yeeeeesssssssss!!!!!

 

[Leegull]

Are you allowed to play 2 goalkeepers? 2-4-5-0 formation maybe the answer...

I have a theory the club delayed to try and get a striker on loan instead (only allowed two from prem clubs).

Waiting to see if striker loan would be needed ?

BTW, was he 3rd choice at Newcastle?

 

[Chinman3000]

Announced as done on twitter

Good business. Come Jan window we will need another goalkeeper as Krul and Ryan out with bad backs from picking the ball out of the net.

 

[Icy Gull]

Fantastic, we have the same number of goalkeepers as we have strikers

 

[neilbard]

Why oh why worst signing ever, how naive this club is,
turning to shite!

We don't need another feckin goalkeeper!

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

In Australia this is being seen as bad news for Ryan ...

It should be. He won't be in goal vs West Brom. He'll get another chance, but he has to work seriously on his handling because it's been poor so far.

We needed a third goalkeeper. However, the signing of such an experienced keeper raises real questions about the future of Ryan and Maenpaa. Maenpaa has never put a foot wrong, but there has never been any sign that CH wants to give him a chsnce as first choice keeper. The most interesting question is whether Ryan's position is in danger. He has made some bad mistakes and seems too small to cope with crosses. Is Krul threrefore likely to get a chance as first choice keeper?

Bet you he will.

We clearly have a major goalkeeping problem since Stockdale departed.

Just interview on Sky look knackered.

Reading all the comments from those who were at Watford, and player ratings, it seems Ryan dealt with crosses very well.

 

[London Irish]

lol Krul has a Geordie Dutch accent - that's worth the loan wages alone

Less of the old, anyway Uncle Tony has told me to stay awake because he has a deadline day surprise.
