Why aren't we looking at getting a new goalkeeper

I believe that we are weak in goals. I have no faith in Allsop or Allwick.
We have strengthened elsewhere and now we need to strengthen in goals. We can make a real good go at this season then.

We probably are. Maybe use the loan system.

We need at least one of ours moved on though.

New keeper and another centre back and I reckon we can be optimistic about being nearer mid table than the bottom 3.

Who said we aren’t?

Goalkeepers are one of those positions where someone has to sign someone before they will let one go, we are limited with no fees.

But to be honest if I was the manager I’d look at creativity, pace and goals first and we at least have a fighting chance with the signings so far.

We actually look OK in attack. Midfield looks better now with Rambo on board. Defence, not so much. Our keepers are not Championship standard.

If Goutas is ok and Collins at left back lives up to the promise then a first choice back 4 of Ng McGuinness Goutas Collins could be ok. Id love Kipre back though.

We need a back up centre half & ship Simpson out. Kipre wouldn’t come as a back up. NG can play in there but he’s not a natural.

On a day like today, this thread is the equivalent of someone buying two lottery tickets, winning £50m with the one and then sitting around moaning that he didn’t win anything with the second one. Its a joke.

You reckon Ramsey will carry us through the season regardless of everything else? Shows how utterly f*cking clueless you are, you total braindead gimp.

I admire the guy. Every so often he comes on here proving he has far less between his ears than the time before, yet keeps on doing it. Resilience I think the word is.

Trouble is over the last ten years or so we've been blessed with some good goalkeepers.I think if we get another goalie it will be the sweeper/keeper type.To be honest it couldn't have been much fun playing behind last seasons team and maybe what we've got will improve along with the rest of the team.

Allsopp is fine as a sweeper keeper. Hes good with the ball at his feet. Shot stopping he just wasn't good enough last season.

You could argue the other way though. Not much fun defending in front of Allsop.

I'm hoping he becomes surplus to requirements at Brum as their new owners splash the cash. He's exactly the type of keeper we need.

Just making an observation on our current situation. You obviously didn't like it, so you resort to the kind of language that would be better off in the sewer. Am I surprised ? Not at all. Par for your course. I am neither disabled, stupid or a sex slave by the way. People who resort to a line of attack like yours are the braindead ones - unable to string a sentence together without using insults or expletives. Shows a lack of education and intellect.

Oh it is. It really is. It is called an analogy. Work it out for yourself. The ink isn't even dry on Aaron Ramsey’s and Karlan Grants contracts. Enjoy it, even if just for a few days, before going back to the rampant negativity that is the scourge of this board.

Er.... Not really.

It's a valid discussion to have.

Unless Ramsey has become a top class keeper since he left us?

I would prefer a keeper who could save a shot at goal than be competent at something the defenders could easily do equally if not more accurately.

I am sure that if we can see that Allsop and Allwick aren't up to then job then Bulut surely can as well.

I'd be surprised (although there again nothing surprises me with the City), if we don't get one in before the end of the transfer window. There is still a month and a half left.

Keep The Faith

Agreed, we need some movement in the Premier League and then we can loan a young keeper with a call-back clause, as they will need protection for a keeper injury, but I'm sure Bulut will see ours are poor even just from the stats.

We can't wait that long, it's like starting the season with no strikers, keeping the ball out of our net is just as important as scoring up the other end.

You really are on a crusade against Alsop arent you. His goals conceded record is actually good and he also saved two penalties last season as I recall.

Anyone who has watched football for more than a day can see that Alsop is no longer good enough for our level.

Yes he's not good enough, and the Manager can see it and is doing something about it.
