Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
Can’t imagine you start a goalie when he has had one training session at most with the team, but I guess we will see. Probably the position where having some kind of understanding with your teammates is the most critical.
This is good news. Bulut said in his press conference yesterday the team needs a different kind of keeper. Hopefully that means one who saves shots.
:thumbup:
Bulut also said we only have two goalkeepers and need three. I know Luthra is young and has only had a few minutes of first team play, but we do have three first team keepers on the books now.
Bulut also said that Alnwick has got the shirt and will play as long as he continues to perform.
That makes me think Luthra may be heading out on loan and Allsop has been relegated to third choice.
Not sure if I’ve seen it mentioned he was on loan last season at one of Bulut’s old clubs and played 30 times… lots of focus on the fact that he hardly played for Arsenal and had a howler. Seems like another shrewd signing to me.
Wasn’t expecting us to sign a keeper, but I’m not disappointed by the news even if I’ve a degree of sympathy for Alnwick who’s let no one down this season.
Know nothing about Runnarson except that some Arsenal fans don’t rate him, but that seems entirely down to one bad mistake he made.

It was always going to happen as soon as the Manager looked at his stats and watched last year's clangers and terrible angles and positioning and saw it firsthand in training, never in doubt.
Bulut knows of him from the past, and his experience overseas is getting very handy, lets's hope he is actually a good judge of a player :thumbup:
Agreed about Alnwick he's done well and is a big improvement, even though we've conceded more, most are not down to him.
I can't believe Bulut would bring in a keeper on loan from Arsenal if he didn't intend to play him. This is encouraging. I hope it's the last we've seen of Allsop.
