Isn't that the name film directors use when they don't want to be associated with the finished product?
Bentley is regarded as a top prospect, we need the best available and should pay Southend his value...
http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/16/huddersfield-town-accept-qpr-bid-for-alex-smithies/ Huddersfielsd have accepted our bid! Will he be our no1 or mo2 keeper though ???
That'll be the boy on the village playing fields I saw half an hour ago then...I'll go back and find out who he is
I do have to wonder about the unhealthy fixation with Rob Green's distribution, correct me if I'm wrong but he's a goalkeeper, and goalkeepers are there to prevent goals being scored and not spray passes around like David Silva!
Ball distribution is a major part of a goalkeeper's game and Green's is very poor. Add to that his propensity for the occasional ****-up and he is not worth what we are paying him. Paul Robinson was on the Danny Baker show yesterday, and he was saying that he is currently looking for a job. Why not sign the Southend lad plus Robinson for cover and get Green off the wage bill?
I sound like a broken record, but I hope this deal comes through and Smithies is our Number 1. I just can't stand watching Green anymore, I know it was a good strike from Malone but he had plenty of time to see what was happening and a better keeper saves it.
I know nothing about either goalies, and do not know their realtive worth....but 3 bids rising to 1.25mill for Bentley from Southend...all turned down, but later on a 2 million bid for Smithies accepted. Smithes has played for England u/21. So was Bentley back up to Green, but now Smithies will be our no 1 after Greeno goes.....or am I reading to much into this
If Alex Smithies signs, he HAS to be number 1. Far better than Green; he's bigger, more mobile and can actually move.
People just don't like Rob Green for some reason. His kicking isn't as bad as people make out. However, makes sense to secure a long term option now
Our attacking options begin with the keeper in possession of the ball. If he can't see the options in front of him, or simply punts the ball upfield to the opposition centre backs time after time we'll achieve very little.
Instead we throw it out to one of our defenders who punts it up to their centre backs, personally can't see the difference.
