If that's true a lot of PL keepers aren't PL quality. Well actually I think likes of Begovic last season were absolute poo Look at results when he came back. https://www.transfermarkt.com/jed-steer/leistungsdaten/spieler/110867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been 3rd choice throughout his whole villa career. He had a good 6 months behind possibly the best defence in the league (the total opposite of Nyland and Kallinic), that doesn't make him PL quality. If it did we wouldn't be seemingly desperate to sign another keeper when there is so much work needed to strengthen the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the manager who actually got us promotion back to the PL deemed him good enough ahead of multiple others. I think we should always look to improve what we have but Steer has shown what he can do, with room to progress further. Heaton is an upgrade for me but that isn't to say that Steer can't do a job in the PL. Being omitted from the starting line up by managers who have failed here isn't something to use against him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't therefore mean that Steer isn't able to hold his own at this level. There's a difference. Even under the other managers, when he's actually managed to get a game, he's looked fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I regard 70-80% of transfer rumours as completely made up. One major signing that wasn't a loan signing made permanent was completely missed by everyone which is probably how we're going about our business. We may not actually be in for a keeper at all though I would like us to sign Butland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is he just creating a situation for competition to actually thrive? Maybe he thinks Steer is good enough, but doesn't think Nyland, or Kalinic are. We need competition for number one so Smith signing Heaton isn't proof that Steer is being replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 To be fair, Steer is still a relatively unknown quantity. I know I've not seen enough of him myself, however yes he was impressive for us last season. He could be good in the PL, or he could fail. Smith is seemingly not wanting to take any risk by going for an experienced PL option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The price Stoke will want for him makes him an idiotic signing. It's not like he's the only GK out there. Please look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Wonder if the Heaton link has been "leaked" to try and force Stoke's hand a bit on the Butland fee. They've already signed his replacement and maybe us "looking" elsewhere will help drive the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely goes on so wouldn’t surprise me ../ or it was Greg Evan’s parting gift of BS as he may get paid via clicks ? Certainly would of created a lot of traffic to the Brum Fail website ... Or Maybe he is just bitter and wanted one last laugh .. who knows until ITSOTP .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
