Transfer goss and rumours, Summer 2016.

I'm always too slow lol.

 

Good capture - he will challenge Ruddy for the gloves - will we see Dekkers go out on loan perhaps ?

 

Nice photo though Woodbine, and your tweet saved me having to open the link! Having 3 top keepers makes sense to me, as I never really saw the point of Kean as 3rd keeper. Now for the striker(s) we need!

 

I like the Green jersey much better than the candy floss puke one last season.

 

Our keepers conceded 67 in 38 games last season with Rudd playing a hand full of games.

 

In the Premier League. As everyone keeps saying, Scottish Premiership is like top end League 1 bottom few of Championship. That's what I meant.

 

Well in that case he had worse defenders than our Premier league stars in front of him even better achievement

 

We didn't have or sign Premier League stars, or sign enough of them (Klose the exception). That was our problem.

They still had to be in goal against premiership star players though. As appose to League 1 stars.

 

OK so you just pick the stats to suit your strange bias.
McGovern played against Germany and saved many shots from the current World cup winners but you dismiss that as "putting himself in the shop window".
You then dismiss the SPFL as our 3rd tier standard yet when we were in the PL our players in front of Ruddy weren't really Premier league players .
OK crystal clear.

 

I will be honest, I totally forgot about Kean.

 

What strange bias?

I just said I don't think he has be a constant force to be excited about, and I don't think we need another keeper for this season. I said I had nothing against him, He looked half decent In a few Euro games.

Also, our players weren't Prem players blah blah, 3rd tier blah blah. You do know there is a tier in between don't you? Where our standard was, and this keeper has to step up to?

Crystal clear

Pretty much backs up what I was saying. Don't think it's a massive improvement on the 2 GK's we have here. I'd rather we were chasing down strikers and defenders.

 

I would agree with burst baws that JR, up till 2/3 years ago was a far superior keeper, I would argue that he was better than Joe Hart!

Since his serious injury, he is along way short of what he used to be, he has his moments but his kicking and distribution are awful!

 

With the possible exceptions of Howson, Brady and Klose for the second half of the season no, indeed they weren't.

 

Ah, just seen we've signed him. Hopefully we can work on strengthening now that's done.

That's very true. He reminds me of Andy Marshall.

 

Exactly, which is why we got relegated in such a easy season to stay up. If they were Premiership quality, we would still be there.

 

Ruddy was garbage and Rudd not much better .
If McGovern plays anywhere near his "shop window " form we will have a huge Improvement.
The last decent game I saw Ruddy play was the play off final and he had little to do that day.

 

I liked it when he punched that guy in the City!!

 

If the guy had a round ball shaped head Ruddy would have came storming out of the taxi and flapped at him rather than make contact.
