villanwesty88 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 No to Delph. Don't want to see anyone in who treated the club so badly. I'd welcome some ex players back but not Delph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, how low we have fallen. So Man Utds 3rd or 4th choice keeper is a step up now ? I don't see that Johnstone will be any improvement on Gollini, and would rather we progress the career of our own player rather than totally demoralise him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Word is Golini is back off to Italy though hence he's not been playing. I doubt Man Utd's 3rd choice keeper is as crap as Bunn. (Or Gollni). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I could be a bloody hero. Absolutely. It's what I thought about any manager coming in during the summer. It would only have taken 4 wins in the first 6 and we'd have been singing from the rooftops! A mobile, composed midfielder will turn our side around.

I doubt Man Utd's 3rd choice keeper is as crap as Bunn. (Or Gollni). Hadn't heard that, I agree that Johnstone is probably a step up from Bunn (as is Gollini), where both Gollini and Johnstone will falter is that they need the experience of playing regularly. If Gollini is off then the loan of Johnstone makes more sense, but I have a feeling in years to come we will regret letting him leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It does seem mad to develop Johnstone over Gollini, especially as he's on loan and the benefit will be Man United's. But if Gollini is leaving then we need a replacement. We also don't know how good Johnstone really is, I'd imagine Bruce thinks he's the better option. On the whole I'd rather we kept Gollini so he can continue to develop. Unfortunately he won't do so as quickly if he's not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not sign a couple of midfielders this January would be negligent and I don't have Bruce (or Xia) down as that. I don't think paying Murphy is the answer, Trent gets more right than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I read somewhere, can't remember where, that the decision to get SJ in is down to our GK coach. The article commented that our GK coach was very confident of his ability (or words to that effect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 As shown by Rob Green keeping Leeds in both the recent games, the need for a decent keeper is as important as a decent striker. They could have lost both those games. On a similar note, we've lost plenty of points from keepers' mistakes this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Diego Poyet is currently a free agent, CM with Championship experience. Can't imagine his wages would be particularly high and he would add something to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
