Skruff Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 4 hours ago, Rob182 said: I don’t understand this logic. You’re right that it’s obvious that the teams at the bottom will face more shots, but the amount of ‘goals conceded:shots saved’ would surely reflect whether the keeper was bad/okay/good? You can’t just say that a keeper of a relegated team making a decent amount of saves is a pointless stat. Those shots would have resulted in goals if he was a worse keeper. You could look at every keeper in the league and see how many saves he made in 100 shots. Irrespective of the league position of the club, the stat would still give you a half-decent representation of how good a keeper they are. The only difference with the teams at the bottom, is that you’d reach the 100 shot mark much quicker than you would a team at the top. Saves per conceded goal: Allison: 3.4 Lloris: 3.0 Fabianski: 2.7 Ederson: 2.5 Leno: 2.5 Arriz: 2.1 Foster: 2.1 Patricio: 2.1 Etheridge: 2.0 Sergio Rico: 2.0 Dubrvaka: 2.0 Pickford: 2.0 Schmeichel: 1.9 Ryan: 1.75 Lossel: 1.6 (I've rounded up and down, so its not 100% correct) Others Etheridge stats: Pen saves joint #1with 3. Sweeper clearances #2 with 19. High claims #9 with 15. Clean sheets joint #7 with 10 Punches #11 with 13 Definitely not a top 5 keeper. But good enough for a lower mid table team. He would certainly fill me with a lot more confidence going into the season then with our current keepers. And could prove to be a very solid signing for 10 Mill. I haven't seen him play too many times. So I have no idea how many of the 69 goals conceded are down to himself. Which off course is important. But he strikes me as a confident goalkeeper, without any clangers and shaky intercepting in the box. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lad that was born and bred in the UK I like the sound of that. Seems a good guy. Yeah, Chelsea have a small academy here too. I'd love for us to sign him tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'd take the 2009 version of Milner, but today he's just a workhorse. We've got McGinn to do that job, he is the right age and got a bigger potential. What we need is a dmf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2019 It’s really not sentiment with wanting Milner back, he’s a ****ing good player. Anyway, just looking at the numbers, if we were to go ahead with the signings and the fees that are being heavily touted, by my reckoning that would be - Etheridge 10m Mings 15m Hause 2m El Ghazi 5m Jota 3m Abraham 25m That takes us to £60m. Then we’d presumably be looking at adding a left back, a defensive midfielder, maybe another winger and a striker, possibly even another defender?

Reivax_Villa Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 We will need to sign a wealth of players in time for pre season. Interestingly enough we don’t know our actual transfer budget. I would also add that signing a player for £15m could mean we make payments in yearly instalments which would not affect the transfer budget deeply.

He’s never done it in the PL, so is basically just a mid table Championship troll. Anything over £1.47 would be a waste of money. It’s a no from me. 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 9 hours ago, MaVilla said: oh right, are the Phillipines not a football loving nation? Basketball for guys and volleyball for girls, usually. Soccer (sorry) started to pickup nicely about 8 years ago when the national team started making some strides with the Younghusband's. That's died down a bit now, but having players like Etheridge helps immensely of course. Interesting the South of the country is much more into soccer with local teams and such than the North, but literally the entire population lives in the the capital, Manila.
