[Albion] Uğurcan Çakır

Possible new goalkeeper apparently...

Rough translation: "Forget all the kolpa feelings about Uğurcan and you feel like a man, neither sheffield nor chelsea will get Brighton Hove albion seriously wants to transfer Uğurcan Çakır kyle macaulay (Scout manager) will come to Trabzon and finish the transfer"

Not a big account by any means, only 5000 followers, but it seems a bit weird that a Turkish account would totally make up a transfer rumour regarding us, and the knowledge of Kyle Macaulay being involved is also interesting, most fake rumour accounts wouldn't know or check that.

Not really seen Maty as someone who needs replacing, but this guy has been linked with a lot of the big boys, and it doesn't sound like he'd come cheap :

I have to say he looks very very decent:

FIFA card not brilliant (73 rated) but hes a young player in a poor league so I wouldn't expect too much:

Has a £14.4 million valuation on transfermarkt, exactly double that of Ryan:

also stands at 191cm, just to allay any fears from the #tooshort brigade...

With Walton on the way back and Ryan already here are we really after a keeper?

goalkeepers are the new centre backs, don't you know?

I think it is always a good idea to buy better players, even if you have enough!

I see what you've done there

He'd have to be special but OK, you've won me over

Although a lovely WAG, the bloke's stides are too short and he's not wearing any socks with his wedding suit.

1) Turkish media makes the Sun look like the Times so I don;'t believe a word of it.
2) if true however it's interesting. Probabyl the best goalkeeper in Turkey at the mo... only 24 and played 7 time slast year in the Europa.
3) Definitely an upgrade on Button and Steel and will challenge Maty IF ( and here's the big IF) his confidence is good. Turkey has always had a problem with confidence goalkeepers.

Have a look at video of Rustu Recber to compare.

I absolutely believe we'll sign a new first choice goalkeeper this summer.

I'm not sure Walton is up to Prem standard unfortunately, I've got a feeling he's going to be sold. I've read quite a few comments from Rovers fans over the season and for the most part they were not impressed and don't want him back.

Completely different with Sanchez, Dale fans loved him and he did very well. Sanchez I should imagine will be loaned to someone in the Championship.

Either that or Walton is going to end up no 3 (if Steele and Button move on)

who was saying earlier we’d be in for a keeper [emoji2960]

But shot down for daring to suggest such a thing.

I believe it when I see it. Fairly convinced Ryan will be the starting keeper next season as well.

Of course. You also wanted David Button to start against Southampton. Similar levels of likelihood.

No bid yet apparently, but rather 'evaluation' and that we are 'very ambitious'

You really have issues with people disagreeing with you, dont you?

Some random Turkish twitterer does not prove shit. Some betting firm having Henderson as a fringe possibility signing for Brighton doesnt prove shit either.

Of course anything is possible but it is still unlikely Ryan will be replaced and there is absolutely zero things indicating anything else.

Walton won't ever be good enough to put the pressure on Maty.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Be interesting to see what happens with Walton now. He had a rather indifferent season with Blackburn, and I don't think their fans will be losing sleep if he doesn't go back.

 

[stss30]

I do think we need a new goalkeeper given Button and Steele aren't really up to the job from what we've seen, and Maty needs some competition.

 

[Seasidesage]

Anyone would think we suddenly have money to spend....

Too tall.
