Weasel 965 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) If I'm honest I would much rather have had Dillon Phillips, better player and resale value. Bettinelli is an upgrade on what we have, but our fans should be prepared for an occassional absolute howler. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Crossley couldn't get in the Boro side over Schwarzer but doesn't mean he was a bad keeper, same with Randolph and Fabianski. Parker just preferred another keeper 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I feel for Stoj personally, what a waste of money he's turning out to be. Uproots his life, moves to England, manager gets sacked after you make 2 appearances, new gaffer doesn't like you, off you go again. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites

On the video interview he also said one in middle of this week and then another before Friday's game against Watford. Hopefully we can land Bettinelli, Morsy and whoever the free agent ST is who's coming in (probably Sanago). Link to post Share on other sites

I agree this is a short-term fix that will mean we most likely be searching for another keeper next summer. However if all goes well we might be a premiership club so can sign a quality keeper đ¤Šđ Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Shame we can't ask Fulham for more than just Bettinelli. Link to post Share on other sites

RiversideRed 1,216 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Bettinelli is entering his final year of his contract too although Fulham do have the option to extend it by a further year. Link to post Share on other sites

TheJew 2,886 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Bettinelli. How underwhelming. First choice keeper in this division for what? 1 season? Before being dropped again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

LBP 3,012 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Don't really know much about Bettinelli tbh forgot he existed after out 14/15 season So did Fulham by the looks he hasn't been their number 1 since I think Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,402 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Still got money to spend on other signings this way, I'm actually pleased we've loaned rather than spunked millions on another keeper. From his contract situation, we could sign him next summer if he performs well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
