DCJonah Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 We agreed 2 loan deals for him and yet couldn't put a deal in place linked to either one. Basically sums up the club under xia/bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have sunk so low haven't we? We haven't sunk we've been dragged down by a couple of shit owner's, turns out Doug wasn't so bad after all.

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Not bothered, he's solid, but overrated, conceded a too many soft goals for my liking and cannot kick a ball. I honestly think we'll be just fine with Jed Steer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 For the price thats a great deal for West Brom. Veey suprised no premier league club came in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Good luck to him... he owes us nothing. Has more chance of being promoted back to the Premier League with Albion in the next year or so than he does here. So, with no allegiance to Villa, why wouldn't you?

I actually saw the £6.5m fee and thought that was a bit steep for him. If we had a pot to piss in and bought him for that amount, I think I'd think the same. I'd say £3-4m is about right for a keeper that is unwanted by his parent club, has one year left on his deal and has never played in the Prem. Oh well, let's hope Steer makes us forget all about him.

Yeah he is young will get better under a good manager. However i do think a lot of his success game from havibg terry and chester in front of him. Be interesting to see how he does there.

Keepers are rarely expensive unless they're a young, English & potential world class player (Pickford etc) or if they're just downright world clas (De Gea etc). I haven't got numbers to hand, but I'm sure there have been some seasoned Premier League keepers signed for less than £5m in recent seasons.

Nah he was bad, we were definitely going down in 2006 and were about to sell Barry for £2.5m. We lost a lot of our better players because of him. Just read what Southgate says about the club during his time here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Not being in a position to sign Sam in the summer has well & truly f***ed us. All 3 of our keepers are absolutely shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Not sure Johnstone really makes a difference, Baggies have conceded a lot of goals this season already and he also looked shaky at times especially as we were more solid in defence last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Rarely seen a keeper struggle as much from set pieces as Johnstone yet we were dead against putting set pieces right on top of him. Seemed strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug kept us in the black... Thats about it... He also held us back a lot in the mid-to-late 90s when we really could have kicked on and become a force...

That's what I mean, I used to cringe when anyone out a cross in when he played for us, so you'd think we'd exploit that weakness but we never really did.
