Yet more links with a keeper??

This would fit the Ashley business model...... but it's a shame our inactive summer meant a £2m keeper may now cost treble that...

PSV have told Newcastle United that they must now pay £7million for goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet after declaring their interest in the summer, according to the Chronicle.

Toon boss Alan Pardew is cautious that a big club may come calling for number one Tim Krul in January with Arsenal and Barcelona among the long term admirers.

Sub stopper Rob Elliot has done nothing wrong at the club to date but Pardew would be keen to bring in a world class goalkeeper should Krul depart.

The North East club were interested in signing Zoet in the summer when the 22 year old was valued at just £2million but the Dutch under-international has since become the number one in Eindhoven and will now cost United up to £7million.

Krul has claimed that he is still happy to stay on Tyneside but the lure of Champions League football could be too much come the new year.

 

We need to replace Elliott has he does not cut the mustard

 

Totally agree

 

I wouldn't want Elliot as a 1st choice unless he starts improving more, however with Krul here as a guaranteed 1st choice there is no way without regular European football we are going to attract a great keeper to do a Harper. As a second choice Keeper I'm OK with Elliot.
He's not fantastic but does a job. Krul hasn't exactly covered himself in glory so far this season with a fair bit of flapping at crosses.

 

We don't whether to stick or twist with the keeper situation.
Elliott is probably as good as most back up keepers, but, like most of them, you don't know how good they are until you need them.

Zoet was being groomed to be first choice keeper this season at PSV, so the only people who thought £2m would get him in the summer were daft JFK and the rest of the clowns.

 

Agree that we don't need a new keeper, since we already have Krul.


Anyway it won't happen, due to agents fees and other issues.
