CiderJar Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I've no idea if there is any truth in it. He's 33, barely played a game in three years at Brighton, not the most inspiring choice. He's 6'3" and has played 26 times for Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Robin Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Played in goal for Finland when they drew 1-1 with Spain in WC Qualifier so must be reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 The guy who’s tweeted that is almost always correct so it’s probably true. He was right about this years kits - design, badges and colour combination - weeks before they were released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not beyond the bounds of possibility that we see this guy as an experienced alternative/cover to a new signing if Fielding still goes to Blackburn. Other possibility is we have already looked at him and said “no” (as I think is the case with Kean). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BessexRED Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Truth in this one, he's out in Marbella with the squad this week. No idea if he'll be offered a contract or not but he must've looked okay in training last week to be taken out for further inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWilly Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I noticed on the first days training in marbella that there was a tall short haired keeper being warmed up by the gk coach in the background and presumed it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 9 years of experience in top division Dutch football playing over 100 times for one team. I think you could selectively find an error from every keeper who has ever played.

Krul featured in the World Cup quarter final in 2014, yet within two seasons he had lost his place at Newcastle, he then did so badly during a seasons loan at AZ Alkmaar that they tried to send him back, that is some fall from grace. Since then he (& Mäenpää) have both sat on the subs bench at Brighton. In contrast Mäenpää has pretty much accepted he is a back up keeper, but he has played in every Cup game for Brighton & got a glowing reference from Hughton when he chose to leave this summer. I’m not convinced that he is definitely good enough to be our long term no.1 but am sure he is good enough to be one of two senior keepers that we have. I still wouldn’t rule out Fielding still leaving for Blackburn & if he does a new first choice with this bloke as experienced cover (the same job as Steele did) seems fine to me.

To be honest, that's exactly why I hope we aren't looking at Lloris. If Lloris has done his research on us, he should know that being 4-1 up with 30 minutes to go, is not a time to switch off....

So I expect this guy might be brought in as an emergency 3rd choice which would allow O'Leary and Wollacot to be loaned out. If we bring in two ‘ proper ‘ keepers then Fielding is off , no way we will carry three experienced keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
