It's Paqueta that's created more chances for shots and goals, and it's Paqueta that's played the final ball for shots that stand a slightly better chance of going in.

If we’re shelling out big money on a keeper it’s got to be for one more comfortable with the ball at his feet. His overall pass completion is better than Dubravka's. His shot stopping is better than Ederson. Basically stats are pretty fucking pointless in isolation. Edited May 19, 2022 by ewerk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should rethink this one I know Fish has since cleared up what he meant, but to add to the fact Paqueta creates more and creates more of a better quality he is absolutely fucking miles clear of ASM in terms of defensive work, and winning the ball back. He’s what we need imo, the type of player who is not only an upgrade in quality in terms of final ball but will also really help us retain/win back the ball, so he’s not just that flair player who is a bit of a liability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I was just trying to ridicule the stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21814 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Apparently Shelvey might be off as he wants first team football. I think if that’s the case he probably should be let go. He’s done well this season and would be a useful squad player but he’s not the future. Offering longstaff a new contract would make more sense if Shelvey is on the way out.

Howay 12496 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Longstaff has been complaining about lack of first team footy as well. Here’s hoping they both fuck off and we are “unfortunately” in a position where we’ll have to just buy Paqueta and Sangare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I would imagine Henderson is relevant to the 'home grown' consideration since by the sounds of it we'll be fielding a half Brazilian team by the time we've got a couple more windows under our belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5186 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Why are we so determined to move Dubravka on, I don't get it. I can't recall a single point in this season where I thought "if only we had a better keeper". He's not good enough for the future maybe but I really don't get why he's being ushered out the door ahead of others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Dubravka some decent competition in theory but I’m yet to be convinced by Henderson, like Aye it has to be this, loan to buy, spending that much on a keeper who has hardly played for a mid table team would be unbelievably reckless.

Over the last two seasons he has missed half of our games, thats too much for a number 1 when Darlow is our second choice. And we're not going to be the club who are buying backups anymore unless our hand is forced by backups leaving when the first team player is top class, we turn our first team into the backups now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21814 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I get that you pay a premium for English players but where do they get £40m from? He’s played next to no games for two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4182 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I know this is forum bollocks but as a former goalkeeper, Henderson has never impressed me at all. Dubravka is underrated generally, but he is getting more injury prone. 50/50 but not a permanent transfer at the prices quotes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I think the loan idea is the best way forward. If he rips up trees, make it permanent. I was a GK too but nowhere near your level Strawb. Dubravka scares the fuck out of me TBH. What I've seen of Henderson is fairly impressive although if we were going to break the bank I'd be going for Pope. I think he's the real deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4182 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If the links with Lodi are true then I wouldn’t be surprised to see us move to a 3/5 at the back with wing backs next season. So targett might be surplus to requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
