Demitri_C Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Dont understand the logic of not playing him yesterday. He is far better than nyland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I can only assume it's more important to sell Nyland so we're giving him a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yeah, maybe we put a few players “in the shop window” yesterday... Steer over Nyland every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Martinez, for example. It's there a more competitive position in football? It's the one position where versatility is irrelevant, and there's usually several people vying for one single spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Much better keeper than he is given credit for. Shame he got injured last season as I think he could have proven himself in the PL. I can see him as our no. 2 moving forward and we may look to sell Heaton. Heaton is a top keeper but he is 34 and keeps getting big injuries and will not want, at this stage of his career, to be a no. 2, as he showed when he left Burnley for us. Maybe Pope will get a top 6 move and Heaton may go back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tough one... usually its an older keeper happy to be third choice - Scott Carson, Mark Schwarzer and now Joe Hart. If I was a young keeper i'd have to balance earning a bigger salary at a top club and not playing versus playing regularly at a lower level. Stuart Taylor was the ultimate reserve GK!

Great backup/competition though but, as you said, he is ageing and very injury prone. Yeah, if Pope leaves they may possibly want him back...

Reminds me that Soleskar was invaluable to Manure as a sub they could bring on when they were desperate.Dont think he started that many games.I remember David Geddis In 81 only playing a few games but getting some crucial goals,against SHA ??if my memory is right. A club who wants to be successful needs back up players who when needed deliver. Edited September 23, 2020 by Only2McInallys 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the plan is to have Martinez and heaton competing for the gloves and whoever doesn't get them is number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
