Well I’m now confident that’s been put to bed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't care that he got a medal and technically has, you've not won a league title if you don't make a single league appearance in the season they win it. Brad Jones, on the otherhand, actually was first choice keeper when he won a league title. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sorry this does not fill me with confidence at all. We send a £1 million keeper on loan to bring in another. Not saying it’s not a good thing just worried it’s a smoke and mirrors, Trojan horse signing to cover the inability to sign players we actually need. That 1m keeper wants to try and make the Euros squad, so fair play to him. We need a third keeper. Come on man, you can't seriously think the club are signing Jordan freaking Archer to try and keep fans happy? Link to post Share on other sites

Rishworthian 166 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I was under the impression that Warnock said we were not close to any signings so what is this Archer bloke then - a free gift ? .... or perhaps he's just our Christmas present a bit late Link to post Share on other sites

Ever get the feeling you may be reading into things too much? One keeper left on loan to get game time to try to get in his international side, so we replaced him. It's really that simple Edited January 5, 2021 by SzilardNemethsCurtains 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He was only at Motherwell on a short term contract in the first place whilst Trevor Carson was injured. He's been there since October, and made 4 appearances in that time, they lost all 4.

I know at the time the club pedalled the story about how good Jones and Turnbull were and in his naivety Gareth went along with it but nobody in the North Stand ever remotely believed it. I think you may be getting confused with Mark Crossley who had a decent run in the side and impressed the fans. He was considered unlucky by many at the time to lose his place once Schwarzer was back fit. Only because Shwarzer had some daft clause in his contract stating he had to play if he was declared fit. Mark crossley was excellent in the time that Shwarzer was injured. I remember being at Highbury in between Christmas and New Year when we got beat 2-1 he was absolutely unreal. (Noel Whelan put us ahead), but after the game Steve McClaren said straight away that he was number 2 as soon as Shwarzer was back fit.

Finally getting to visit Highbury before it was demolished, but watching Boro get beat (and that *** Ashley Cole scoring) Also being charged £11 for a single vodka and Red Bull from the Hilton Kensington's bar, lol Link to post Share on other sites
