I'm not saying I want a 5'7 goalkeeper, but this arguing over 6'1 Vs 6'2 is classic VT. probably an exception Dave.....probably ,where 5'7 centre backs & Centre forwards reigned too.

Which made me believe the same. So I would find it bizarre if they out themselves out there like that without info? You know this JV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a goalkeeper is 5 foot 11 but is playing in the premier league it's because that couple of inches doesn't matter. They've made themselves into a great keeper despite that. If our club was looking at goalkeepers based on height, as opposed to the myriad of other things that make a goalkeeper good, then I'd be livid.

The Gent fans opinion on him was that he was poor with his feet and slow to get on the ground and therefor let in a lot of low shots. Seem spot on so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 20, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2019 It's weird, but I'd now be quite disappointed if we don't end up with Butland. I'd kind of gotten used to the idea, and liked the idea of having him in goal next season. Get it done Villa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree. I never felt confident with him between the sticks! Not really that much better than Nyland imo (and certainly not as good as Nyland in terms of distribution) Butland, with Steer as No2 would be my choice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
