But there were rumours linking him with Spurs to be their number 2. If Vorm came the other way then that would be a good result for us imo. While that's not a bad idea in principle, I think the Vorm turned (sorry) when he left a first team position in a premier outfit and was happy to be backup with no hope of playing. I'd be a bit wary of that sort of mentality in a player. I'd take Johnstone over him any day, failing that I'd try and go for the young Leeds keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown in the last ~18 months with us that he needs games to improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't go there just to sit on their bench, he could stay at Man Utd and do that. I think he's good in The Championship but I'm not convinced he's Premier League quality currently but I think he will improve over the next few years, 25 years old is still young for a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be unpopular opinion, but I felt this was also the exact case with Gollini, and we OWNED him. :/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted April 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2018 This summers transfer window will be ridiculous. Season finishes 26th May (hopefully), World Cup, them window closes before the new season starts. If we get promoted it doesn’t leave much time to manoeuvre!

If you believe Wyness, they have been planning for both scenarios (Premier League or Championship) for the past few months. It shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s all well and good planning, but the timescales are the issue, not so much not knowing what division we will be in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning a language takes effort (I obviously haven't made any) so it's perfectly possible that he spent two years in Manchester without learning anything. I've no idea if that is the case for him, chances are he learnt something, but no guarantees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be wary of bringing in anyone from Sunderland. We spent ages trying to rid our club of the same negativity that must be effecting everyone at Sunderland.

No and "United Pedigree" is utterly meaningless. Look how much absolute drivel has been bought by clubs down through the years based on the fact that they played for man utd. so they must be good. A certain thieving Djemba Djemba springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it true he didn't speak any English? No. He spoke perfect English. I made a lengthy post about Gollini in his thread and why I'd had a change in heart about the way he left us. Essentially he said he left because we didn't have an Italian Goalkeeping coach. Which sounds stupid, but actually might not be... I'll find it and post a link.

It is possible to avoid learning almost anything if you put no effort in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
