Turkish Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 A lot people saying McCarthy wasn’t very good despite the horrendous team he had in front of him yet proclaiming Gunn as a better keeper. Just like they did when Forster displaced Boruc. Weird. I thought you’d have realised by now most people on here don’t have a clue what they’re on about. It’s not weird they just don’t understand.

Just like they did when Forster displaced Boruc. Weird. Gunn made a few mistakes towards the end of the season, but he's clearly better suited to the style RH wants to play where the keeper has to be comfortable sweeping and starting moves from the back.

Sheaf Saint Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 Didn't Mccarthy win player of the season the other year? Only by virtue of being a massive upgrade on Forster when it finally became obvious what a huge liability he had become. Doesn't make him a great keeper. There were a few goals we conceded last season where his keeping was very suspect. Gunn isn't the finished article yet, but he looks to have more potential to improve IMO. If Macca has some decent resale value then I have no problem with us cashing in on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 What's Henry Onyekuru upto these days? Looked to have a lot of potential while at Eupen @_pauljoyce: Marco Silva on Onyekuru being at Everton next season: “I didn’t decide yet. At this moment we have 4 wingers in our squad - Richarlison, Lookman, Bernard and Theo - 4 with right foot and he is one more with a right foot. We would have to think about a work permit, also."

Hodgey Posted 24 May, 2019 Share Posted 24 May, 2019 Can someone please explain why McCarthy is suddenly so bad. He was our deserved player of the year and frankly has made as many mistakes as Gunn over a much longer period. Yes Gunn has potential to improve and yes McCarthy has resell value. That I get. What I don’t get is why so many are suddenly convinced he is a sub par keeper. I’ve seen a lot of him and he has always looked a safe pair of hands so can those calling him out explain why. Here’s a novel idea - why not have two good goalkeepers in case one gets injured. I can’t fathom why people are so keen to get rid of him given his good history with us - are people rewriting history here or am I just ignorant about goalkeeping ???

captainchris Posted 25 May, 2019 Share Posted 25 May, 2019 We need a goalkeeper who hasn't been coached by Dave Watson. They all start well here until his coaching takes effect. Wouldn't it be simpler, though, rather than constantly changing goalkeepers, just to change their coach? Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 25 May, 2019 Share Posted 25 May, 2019 It's because they think he's a better keeper. And you have always had bizarre keeper opinions. Forster became awful. McCarthy was bang average and conceded a lot of soft goals. Gunn has been an improvement and far more likely to learn and develop at his age. The defence in front isn't the issue when you're conceding goals from stupid angles, near post or just long shots into the middle of the goal. That huddersfield away goal was ridiculous. McCarthy has had a really average career and a brief spell being busy making a few saves for a poor side doesn't change that. Forster was always awful, full stop. Nothing to do with bizarre keeper opinions at all. The groundswell of opinion changed on here when it suddenly dawned that after his protection was lifted, he was a massive liability. McCarthy's hardly been given a season to establish himself but in general, has been fairly solid given a couple of 'could do better' moments. Gunn on the other hand, hasn't been that much of an upgrade, if at all. Apparently, he suits RH's style of play and being young, according to people on here he's guaranteed to improve. The truth is, he's not suddenly going to to turn into Ederson. Call me old fashioned, but I'd prefer my keepers to be proficient at handling and saving shots, not spraying 70 yard crossfield balls.

The only Leipzig players we're realistically in for will probably be the out of favour ones like Augustin. And I think I read Bruma, a winger, was being made available this summer too.

He hasn't been out of favour as much as Augustin, but he is another who hasn't played as much as he did under Ralph and is behind Orban and Konaté in the pecking order.

I'd be surprised if we bought him, but once again would be happy that we were looking at the lower leagues as there is talent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume that fee is a lot of add ons as I can't see a League 1 club turning that down. That would be like the 3rd highest transfer ever out of League 1 I think and it would be for a player who could leave on a free in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
