JasonM88 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Since we were promoted from the championship, it was obvious the club were looking to strengthen the gk options. How did we do this; by spending **** all on it Goalkeepers 15/16 - Ben Hamer - Loan - Richard O’Donnell - Cheap option. 16/17 - Ivan Lucic - Free - Fabian Giefer - Cheap Loan 17/18 - Luke Steele - Free 18/19 - Niki Meanepaa - Free - Stephen Henderson - Cheap option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 We clearly tried to go our and make a statement signing in this area this summer and for whatever reason it didn’t happen. Henderson/Maenpaa are nothing more than cheap short term options to see us through FFs injury whilst allowing MOL out on loan. On the face of it is seems a sensible plan. Max keeps developing whilst in the meantime we have experienced cover until Frank is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

city123456 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Maenpaa was signed after Frankie was injured, I doubt he would have come here to be a bench sitter, and we only probably agreed to sign him when the more expensive players we wanted (ie, the USA kid) fell through. Henderson is only being signed so Max can go out on loan. I imagine in January we'll go after the American lad again, with their season over with, and Frankie or Niki will be number two, and Henderson released. Suspect it will be a 6 month - 1 year deal max for Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think Maenpaa is a better keeper than Fielding. His distribution on saturday was far superior than Frankies,kick it into touch, attempts. As for the American kid. He may not qualify to play for us yet. He has only played two friendly games for the US and I read that he would have to be loaned out if we did get him, to a European team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what's available too. Look at how many of the top clubs struggle to find adequate goalkeepers, especially those clubs that play a pressing game and need more of a sweeper-keeper. Man City took years to find a suitable one and they have near limitless resources, likewise Liverpool. Arsenal haven't had a truly great one for years. Finding a goalkeeper who is in our price range, willing to sign, and is better than Frank Fielding at the things Lee Johnson wants a goalkeeper to do isn't easy.

Look at the list at the top of the page, it answers the point raised. ALWAYS a cheaper option !! I rather our owner didn't spunk millions away on Engvall and Djuric and maybe invest those millions into a GK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Johnson has been here, we’ve spent upwards of 35/40 million on transfers. I’m saying, if the club can afford to shit money up the wall with strikers and midfielders, why have we failed to spend a single pound on a permanent goalkeeper.

Lrrr Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 We've had our #1 in Frankie since we came up, who really is a mid table championship keeper, only really now that we're looking to push further and reach play offs are we feeling the need to upgrade. This summer we've had a $4m bid turned down as well as approaches for Henderson, Button and how many others? Clearly we do see it as a position we need to improve on and we're not afraid of skimping out, just at this stage of the permanent window main targets with have inflated prices now.
