nunthorpered 1,922 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hopefully he wont be anywhere near the goal mouth any time soon. Pointless transfer imo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,734 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 When I said I'd rather we bring in a second choice keeper so Brynn could get game time, I meant one that had a functioning nervous system... 😶 4 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The video isn’t very encouraging but I am sure you could make a video of most keepers like that. Short term contract, probably low wages and keeps us with three keepers. I imagine he will come in to challenge Brynn. Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,449 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 didn't Fulham extend his contract by a year before they let him go on loan? Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Don't see the point in bringing Archer in at all. His ability was already questionable on here just on the basis of the games that he played against us with most of us remembering him for being garbage. The video is over one season apparently and indicates some very disturbing and repetitive traits. A Keeper that can't catch a ball, deal with crosses or hold onto a ball doesn't add comfort of belief to his defence regardless of what language he speaks. Stoj in my opinion is better than Bettinelli but no doubt there will be a contract clause in Bettinelli playing. Allowing Stoj to go and get game time is understandable for the bloke but bringing Archer in seriously weakens the squad and sends out a poor message. There are far better Keeping options out there without breaking the bank. Paul Smith comes to mind immediately from a few years back. There again maybe it was deliberate with some fans starting to get on Bettinelli's back saying that Stoj should get his chance. This way nobody in a million years is going to suggest Archer gets a chance over Bettinelli. Funny and light hearted as that is my tongue isn't entirely sure whether to be in my cheek or not?

DurhamRed 2,047 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) The only good part of signing Archer is it may mean Brynn can go out on loan and play some games. But honestly Bettanali has been kinda rubbish yet Archer makes Jason Steele look good 😂. It's kinda bad thought as doesn't provide any real competition to Bettanali and push him on as unless he get's injured or has an absolute howler he'll be playing every game apart from FA cup. But feel for how Dejan has been treated as he is the best keeper at the club we paid £2 million for him yet hasn't been given a chance. Yeah he did make mistakes when he arrived but he was totally thrown in the deepend takes time for foreign players to adapt. Edited January 5, 2021 by DurhamRed Link to post Share on other sites

mendieta420 1,006 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 What's confusing about bringing in an experienced keeper to help out in training and warm ups? It's the same reason Dimi was kept around for so long. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There was lot on the forum earlier in the season as how Brynn was impressing everyone at club and this was one reason we let Pears move on. Has he impressed enough to be considered as main back up keeper, or is he too inexperienced? Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well we should get chance to see how Brynn is against Brentford on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 There were times at Boro when Brad Jones was better than Mark Schwarzer and Archer doesn't even have that level to live up to. He's another option and hopefully one who Warnock actually thinks can keep Bettinelli on his toes as opposed to someone he's just not keen on who he couldn't wait to replace.
