I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet. But 'Walterball' involved a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet who can play tight passes under pressure. Attributes that both Pandur and Racioppi have. But I don't recall that being Darlow's style?

So the club are due to announce the return of a favourite, better with his feet than hands? Welcome back Ryan Allsopp.
Followed by an admission from Acun that he totally ****ed up (using Pandur to sort his financial issues out), that Liam was right all along.
They promised heart attack football and that’s just the recruitment..

Do Pandur and Racioppi have it though?

They're willing to try I suppose but I'm not seeing an inherent natural ability. Not yet anyway.

Allsop had it but also forgot he still had to save stuff, so I guess it's a balance.

The only thing that makes any sense (well Walt ball sense) is that the goalie role under Walt is absolutely key to his system working. He inherited Pandur and while he has been steady, he has shown nothing to suggest he offers anything special with his feet and along with Macca and Jones is actually responsible for Waltball not working. After his traumatic debut in the cup, he doesn’t want to expose Racciopi. So would rather play the safer bet that is Pandur, until the real deal comes along.I mean three games in (plus friendlies) and he hasn’t even ventured into the oppositions half yet.
Pandur to be sold/ go out on loan with a big name, premier league footballing keeper to come in.

If it is Darlow, how can we be sure thats he;'s great with his feet... I was trying to remember back if that was one of his assets... it didnt immediately spring to mind...

So... a big week ahead... who will go , who will arrive..

Just reading that Boro's first choice left back has had achilles surgery and will be out for 6 months ... Giles gone?... at least that puts us in a position to get the money back if they want him that desperately... but what do we have to replace him? Not sure I'd be happy with Coyle that side as it will eliminate width and supply to Millar...

Yes, yours was a daft question. Accuracy refers to on or off target.

My post was part tongue in cheek, part pedantic.
'Accuracy' should surely be different to 'on target'. I could be 1 on 1 from 5 yards out, aiming for bottom corner but scuff it straight into the keepers arms. On target (in as much as it was heading towards the goal) but with next to zero accuracy.
Not that it matters much like .....

Drameh did a good job of replacing him on Saturday. We looked much better after he was subbed. Not sure if he can overlap as well.

All good, missed the tongue in cheek element, I thought you were being serious.

Not 100% sure it's Darlow, but it's a loan keeper who the owner is deliberately teasing the identity of via his PR mouthpiece in Barry Cooper. Whether it's a 3rd choice older player or someone who could challenge for No1 is still speculation.

However, many of the arguments made against signing a 3rd keeper would apply regardless of the specific identity of the player.

And if you look at what's being said about loans -its probably quite feasible someone who isn't going to be a regular squad member when everyone's fit, simply Because it's looking like 6 total loans.

But you can't simultaneously make the argument that the player is both coming in as an expensive, disruptive influence that will stunt Pandur and Racioppi whilst at the same time acknowledging Darlow has been content to play second fiddle for a lot of his career.

The 2 arguments can't exist by the same logic.

Really glad I’ve just read that, wouldn’t have understood a word last night lol.
 
If they bring in a top notch keeper and he improves the starting 11 and its not at the expense of strengthening other positions, then I'm all for it at face value.

But it does not seem great planning, I'll give people that.

But purely strengthening the starting 11 can only be a positive. Keeper could be the difference to sneaking into 6th.

City will earn a seven-figure fee for the 27-year-old who arrived two years ago on a free transfer, with his one goal this season earning the Tigers a last-minute point on the opening day against Bristol City.

We’ll take that

Having a proper plan from the start of the window could have been the difference to sneaking into 6th..
