Would he though? I think at this stage of his career being a number 1 keeper is probably the most important thing to him. Even if we don't come up this year, if Bruce keeps him between the sticks from now until the end of the season i think the kid would have a real decision to make. Stay at a big club (who would probably be amongst the favorites for promotion next year) where you are number 1, or go to a Bournemouth, Stoke, Palace etc. I think we have a great chance of keeping him.

maqroll Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The lone bright spot on the day. Looks like a good player, positive presence, big guy, encouraging his teammates. I likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 2 hours ago, Villan_of_oz said: Come on JV you know what they mean. Excellent maybe a tad OTT but he was impressive on debut against a good team. Excellent is a bit excited but despite conceding to goals he sounded like he was confident, in command of his area and made some top saves. You fly the flag for positiveness, remember? @Villan_of_oz this was actually sarcasm aimed at the people who had a huge go at it last week because someone made a comment in passing that they thought Gabby was "excellent" when he came on. Chaos ensued and among the bat shit crazy comments were "how could he have been excellent when we lost"? (As if he was defending or keeping lol). So I thought it only right to retort with some bollox, the culprits know themselves lol, hence why they have stayed far from it! On a serious note though he looked good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2017 Encouraging start. Looked very assured and confident which is half the battle. Couple of decent shots stopped as well. Hope he keeps it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 He was excellent, made about 4 quality saves, commanded his area and his kicking was good. Nothing he could do about the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Last week some of the rags were reporting that is could agree a loan with an option to buy in the summer. Has anything been reported since? Or have we agreed nothing more than a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
