Polarboy 2311 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Darlow is bottom half of the PL level, which is pretty decent. He'll be one of the better keepers in the Championship. 400,000, if that's what the fee was, is pretty cheap given how crazy the market is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4251 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Agree to disagree with both of you. He’s very poor, but what do I know about goalkeeping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4251 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Positioning mainly, he makes what should be routine saves look like good saves because his position is wrong. It also means when he can’t make those “good” saves, he concedes goals he shouldn’t. Not sure I can ever remember him coming for a cross either, but it has been a while since I’ve seen him play tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 He's not a bad keeper, but Darlow is noticeably worse than Dubravka. And Dubravka is noticeably worse than Pope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dubravka is noticeably worse than Pope. I think this is a good summary. I didn't understand why we went for Dubravka when we did as Darlow was doing a good job. The outcome was a clear improvement. Then the same happened with Pope, a massive improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Fee for ASM confirmed at £23mil apparently. That's suspiciously low. Unless they've agreed to pay it all up front or something 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've agreed to pay it all up front or something I don't get how it can be that low. He is relatively young, the teams out there seem to be throwing money about and, regardless of anything we may think about his improvements under Howe, he is able to offer us more than a player costing us £23mil would offer us.

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 There’s almost certainly some add-ons in there, you’d think. Probably ones that are very easy to hit. Either that or we don’t fancy facing questions from knackers who think we’re on the fiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
