Its a shame Harps got injured today! I think he's our best keeper. Does Oxley deserve a chance, how is he doing on loan?
The Jak didn't fill me with any confidence in the Championship, he definitely doesn't in the PL! Let's just hope McGregor is back by next weekend.
He's managed to shake off that mantle now, he's already played 13 games this season and he played 43 games last season. Jakupovic looked fine yesterday.
Jak doesn't fill me confidence I'm afraid .. seems to flap at a lot .. just hope he proves he's improved .. having said that I thought vito was the dogs when here then watched him yesterday and he was shocking
When Jak came on, I was thinking "oh no" but Arsenal's first corner against him, he came charging out, through everybody and punched the ball nearly out for a throw and then I reconsidered. "Hang on, he's got something to prove" and he did prove himself. He could absolutely cost us the game at Liverpool but until if that happens, we need to be behind him 100%. Besides the keeper in the other goal is even worse for costly mistakes.
Not sure but I think it was mentioned a bit ago that Oxley didnt have a recall clause in his loan deal...like HBA for Newcastle. If this is the case I guess Emergency Loan will be the only way but who?
Are clubs allowed to sign free agents? There are a few keepers on the pfa website, kuszcak probably best of the bad bunch
It sounds like McGregor will be back for Burnley at the latest, that being the case I suspect we'll just stick Watson on the bench and hope for the best.
I thought a free agent could be signed at any time providing he was released before the end of the transfer window.
I'd like to think Jak has given his head a shake since THAT game , i certainly wanted to , he looked OK i just can't bring myself to like the fella , happily for him tho my opinion doesn't mean plop
Yes but we wouldn't be loaning him as he has no club to be loaned from, it would be a short term or match by match contract
I've got no problem with playing Jakupovic for a game or two, as above I thought he looked fine on Saturday, and a few games in the Prem might be just the ticket.
A couple of decent saves from Watson in the U21's game... [video=youtube;nobfa0Dqwe4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nobfa0Dqwe4[/video]
