Tomaszk Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I didn't know it meant we couldn't loan any strikers?! That makes it even more of an odd move this early in the window. Our need for a striker outweighs our need for a keeper. He's experienced but hasn't played regular football for over 18 months. Let's hope he doesn't cock up in any early apps because Nyland's confidence will be shot if he's been dropped for him. So we're buying a forward then?...right?

So that reads as you can have four in total but only two at one time, so I guess that means you can have two in the first half of the season, they get recalled or club sends them back in Jan and then two more loans come in for the remainder of the season. I already thought this signing was odd, but now I'm completely perplexed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2020 Would've used the money elsewhere, even if Nyland is still a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Utterly pointless signing. Good player just don't see why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Dont watch Italian football, assume he has still got the ability? However well Nyland has done in the last couple of games, 99% of his time in goal for us has been an utter clown show, so getting in an experienced head for a relegation scrap is a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit dickish from Villa too calling back Sarkic who was doing really well out on loan. Kalinic was on the bench Wednesday and most likely will be on Sunday also with Nyland still starting i think.

He is basically semi retired as Milan No. 2. Obviously Dean doesn't trust any of our keepers fully but there is no evidence available to support the idea that Reina is anywhere near the level required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm baffled as to why people think this is a waste. We need a goalkeeper. We've signed a goalkeeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I’ve the greatest respect for anyone not wanting him, if they’ve seen him play half a dozen or more times recently and they’ve been unimpressed. ( I’ve not seen him recently). But I’m completely baffled by anybody thinking this was a “ waste” of a loan, or a relatively unimportant signing !! Most important position on the pitch and all we have is Nyland ?? Regardless of him looking much improved so far, to continue with just him - forget Sarkic - would’ve been utter madness.

Nyland clearly not up to it or this wouldn't be happening. I think it's an interesting decision to use up our loan spot on a keeper this early in the window. If a good striker was to become available on loan, we're out of the game now. We must be close to a striker or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Don’t get this signing, seen him a cpl of times for Milan this season, let in a shocker against Genoa earlier on this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 From what I remember from his Liverpool days, he’s a bit eccentric, a character if you will. Not only that but he’s a fantastic, experienced goalkeeper who has been there and done it. How anyone can turn their noses up at this signing, I’ll never know, can he play on Sunday?

Daweii Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 With this signing the club really couldn't win. If we stuck with Nyland and he returned to last-seasons form then 90%+ of this forum, facebook and twitter would be awash with comments like, "Should have signed a ****' keeper in January." We have now signed a keeper in January and now the dialogue is, "We should have stuck with Nyland, this is a waste." The club couldn't win here so personally whether you like it or not, just suck it up and move on. There are plenty of other things to complain about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
