Scout is 100% right in his observation. The spine of the team needs to be at the top of the game.. This new lad seems to be a top all round keeper from all of the p.o.v. being put forward.. Nothing against Patto but I've maintained all this season and last, he is a very good Shot Stopper but not a good all round keeper. Over this past season I've watched him closely in particular, his strengths and also his weakness's. Wembley as in other games over the last ten months, showed both sides of his game. Two magnificent stops but also taking too long clearing balls that should never have been necessary when a oppo player was closing down, Had his reading and quickness of thought to realise danger were there. He does the hard things easy but what should be the easy option, he makes difficult Kicking out being a prime example. A Top forward would have been onto him much, much quicker something he will not get away with in the EPL. Tyrese Campbell showed this in the first ten minutes of the first half and I think it was Brewster in the second half. On the plus side for Patto is time. A keeper never really matures until in his late 20's early 30's so having him on the bench, if he is happy to do that, all well and good. He may improve in a couple of years because his progress as a keeper has not been apparent these past 18 months for me.
To the tune of Lola she was a showgirl his name is Bulka The pole in goal He stands between the sticks And he catches all the s*** Bulka……..the Pole in goal I’ll get me coat
Im really suprised to see we're splashing out big on a new number 1. I honestly thought we'd start the season with Patto. He must be gutted.
To the tune of going loco in acapulco Going loco down with Marky Bulka Cos his arms are long Yes, you'll be going loco down with Marky Bulka His magic hands are so strong I have clearly missed my vocation in life...
Exciting (not sure on the Ukrainian lad) but the french winger and GK look to be good signings. The key positions I was looking for us to strengthen was cb / cm / rw so hoping some concrete links come through with them. Probs need another cm and lb on top of that too (possible loan market?). Going to be an expensive summer lol.
We only have Mundle at LW so we need that area covering too. We also have loads of players that need loaning out aswell and alot to sell. It still pains me Poveda is tied into a long contract with us. Seelt desperately needs to find a club to go on loan to amongst many others. Browne will drop down to the Championship again i think. I have a feeling he'll end up at Boro
I know poveda is on a long contract but isn't his deal set up so that he's on a low wage unless he plays? Aye fair few to move things seem to be gathering pace now
