He's o.k, not amazing but again we seem to be judging these signings as if we're still a premier league team. We won't be facing world class attackers in the championship, the standard of finishing will be much poorer. Fair cop , i thought it was him that replaced gomes , looking back it wasnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) He was one of Sunderland's better performers before dipping towards the end. Also competent when filling in at City. Not sure why it's being so negatively received. Edited June 20, 2016 by Isa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, i think Mattyvilla thought he was the Watford keeper who replaced Gomes. If he did, then his comments are understandable because that guy was terrible! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Never have I been more pissed off by an opposition goalkeeper more than him when we played Sunderland at home last season. Not because he was particularly good, but because he was relentlessly time wasting with about half an hour left to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantilimon got the ball during injury time, and time wasted. The ref booked him for time wasting, and then indicated he was adding all that time on. Pantilimon had the ball in his hands genuinely for at least a minute, if not more, including the booking. Ref blew up exactly on 94 minutes. Prick.

BOF Posted June 20, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2016 International goalkeeping choices are a funny one. It can be hard to displace settled long-termers or get in just on form the way an outfielder might. We (Ireland) more than most know this with our recent relatively unsettled goalkeeping choices with the pro-Westwood camp and the pro-Randolph camp.

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 20, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2016 I can't really comment on Pantilimon too much, I've not really seen him play I'm surprised so many feel in a position to assess him. There are a couple of things I think worth noting in speculation with him and any other keepers this summer. We've already made one change this summer relating to keepers with the arrival of the seemingly very well respected Massimo Battara. It was Battara that championed Hart over Given at City an opinion listened to by Mancini and proven to be right, it seems likely to me he will offer and expect his opinion to be listened to here and what is more RDM will want it. So any keeper we sign will come with his approval. It is also worth pointing out that Battara was at City from 2009 to 2013, Pantilimon was there for some of the same period so the two have worked together previously. So if we are in for him it isn't random link it may appear at first to be and secondly if Battara is as good as reported, personally I'm happy to take his judgement on a player he has previously worked with. As for the Romania squad, players playing for their clubs always tend to get picked ahead of those that aren't unless you are Jack Wiltshere anyway. Just my two pence worth anyway. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking. Any goalkeeper linked will surely come with the backing of what our goalkeeping coach thinks he can do with said keeper. I remain sceptical on any Mirror reporting all the same Edited June 20, 2016 by Tubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted June 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2016 We are not building a squad for when we return to the premier league we are building a squad to get out of this division. He will be one of the top keepers in the championship, and has experience of it. Good signing for where we are IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
