Port Said Red Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Excellent news, it's a position that can cost you a lot of money for a minimum amount of difference in performance, it's great that we have several young keepers on the books that are considered to have great potential.

Silvio Dante Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 This feels like foreboding news for Harvey Wiles-Richards and potentially Bajic. Joe Duncan is very highly rated and is the next batch below Casa-Grande. I’d be thinking that there may be some engagement with the first team (even as third choice) in the next year or two for both and with that being the case, it’d seem to me that HWR would need to have a huge uptick to remain at his place in the pecking order. Bajic doesn’t seem close to displacing Max (and nor should he currently) and if he has a couple of further contenders coming up behind him he may look to move on as opposed to sitting as number two for a season before potentially being displaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Will Buse looked like the better prospect of all the up and coming keepers. Admittedly from little I saw him. Anyone know if he is getting into team at Yeovil? Would hope he’s a few levels above NLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with @Silvio Dante Piercy alluded to Bajic possibly moving on this summer & Wiles-Richards apparently has told people he thinks he’s being released. This lad & Duncan are clearly very highly rated, Lewis Thomas is presumably seen as the experienced third keeper just in case. Wonder if either might make the bench this season late on once it is effectively over. Edited February 16 by GrahamC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how true this is but someone - forget who - said on here that HWR had said something to them that indicated he knew his contract wasn't being renewed. Worth bearing in mind that he's only six months younger than Bajic so the odds of him displacing even our second choice goalkeeper seem unlikely. I think Bajic's a bit harder to work out because a no 2. goalkeeper often doesn't get games until they suddenly displace their rival (if at all) so it's hard to gauge how far behind Max he is. But - whilst he provokes a fair bit of debate on here - Max is doing more than enough to keep his place at the moment so it's hard to see him getting a chance. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if Bajic left for more game time elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Starting to look as if height could be a factor in City future goalkeeper. Josey is listed as 6'3"" while new signing Isaac Finch is 6'4"at just 17. Not sure about the heights of Duncan and Boyd but I suspect the latter is under 6' like HWR so that may not bode well if we go by the adage that a good big'un is better than a good littl'un.

I think I am right in saying that Duncan is already over 6ft with some growing to do. If that's right then Max is/ will soon be our smallest keeper at 6-1.

What is he “trying to cool?” His shirt? I guess you meant “look” cool? What with this & “mange” earlier in this thread have you ever thought of maybe proofreading your posts before pressing “submit reply”? Wouldn’t make any more sense but at least then they’d be coherent. Edited February 17 by GrahamC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really wanted to look cool and hard surely he'd grow his hair like a girl, wear flares and a denim jacket, and tie a silk City scarf around each wrist?

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Belay my last post as SPH is clearly Seb Palmer-Houlden. When I originally saw it I was thinking goalkeepers, not centre forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
