Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Behave putting karius in there ffs.

Yes he was ****e in final. But he helped get us there to start with.

Worst keeper ffs have a day off.

 

Chris Kirkland had a mate on a similar level to Aquilani; constant stream of injuries.

Scott Carson never materialised either.

Both were signed as youngsters but Chris was for big money at the time.

 

tbf Kirkland was in a transfer cock up when we had 2 targets and ended up with both by accident.
probably-my memory is seriously hit & miss but cba to check .

 

Karius was a one-off

If you want a GK who's consistently crap in finals look at Pepe Reina

 

Was it Dudek and Kirkland we bought at the same?

 

Dudek (means 20 in Esperanto BTW) was either brilliant or terrible.

He was like two players in one. I swear we signed two keepers. Jerzy Dudek, and his evil twin. You never knew which of the Dudek twins would be in goal before a game. One was fantastic, one was absolutely terrible. Sometimes they swapped off at halftime.

 

have to say Kirkland is prob the best shout.

7mil fee at a time that was huge money

 

Woukdnt day any keeper has flopped. We’ve just signed a lot of average one. Of the ones to actually be number 1s recently looking at James, Westerveld, Dudek, Reina, Mig, Karius, Becker. Wouldn’t say any of those were worse than we assumed they were gonna be.

 

time will prove it.

covering himself in glory in Turkey right now too.

 

you can't put any keeper who helped get us to a cl final in there, yes he may have ****ed up in final, but some games he was the reason we got through to next round for his saves.

we have had a lot worst keepers than him.

 

in 10 years time all that will be remembered of him is how dodgy he was and how he ****ed the final imo

 

still be remembered for doing more than others we have had then.

 

doubt it

looked back.

james
westerveld
dudek
reina
mingolet

all got a medal of some sort.

karius was awful and I'm glad he bottled sitting on our bench. klopp took one look in preseason and bought alli

 

none of those are as bad as some of the goalie names we have listed though.

what did freidel,Carson and kirkland achieve?

that's just not right.

they shouldnt be reporting on this live. really should not.

 

sounds about right

 

Both bought by GH in August 2001.....

 

wasn't Kirkland the second choice and bought when the Dudek deal appeared to have fallen through and when the deal was resurrected we ended up buying both

 

I always thought we'd intentionally bought both. Seem to recall Westerveld leaving about then too.

I believe it was roughly £4m for Dudek and £7m for Kirkland. The latter was only a teenager I believe, the former was later twenties. First choice and backup scenario imo
