Newcastle won the championship with Darlow in goal. Can’t be that bad. Link to post Share on other sites

He is a decent shot stopper, but there is far more to being a good goalie in Wilders system than shot stopping. We need a reliable keeper who commands his area and offers confidence to defenders, like Schwarzer and Randolph once did. Darlow is very much from the Brad Jones school of keeping, capable of making spectacular saves but with several rushes of blood to the head. Feel free to quote me back if he proves me wrong over a season, I’d prefer Iversen myself of the 2 mentioned. Nah, I’m fine with my opinion thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Of course Darlow will look bad in a game where he makes a mistake, I bet there’s also videos of him making big saves too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s all put the Alves videos on from Herenveen again Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,886 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Alves was good. Problem was his lifestyle and our playing style. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Apparently Matt Ritchie is available from magpies too. He's 32 now but would be an incredible upgrade on Bola. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

They were ***. My turn to sell you the dream, Darlow is a solid goalie and will be best we have had since Randolph and he will do very well if we sign him. Don’t write him off 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure you are, as I am fine with mine, facts do tend to trump opinion though and that Norwich game was not a one off. Lumley had some good games remember and made some good saves too. I am keeping my fingers crossed for Iversen, consistent reliable less gaff prone keeper and a far more saleable asset for the club in the future if needs be. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Everyone seems to be placing a lot of stock in Newcastle fans wanting to get rid of darlow as a basis for their opinion here. Remember, their fans are expecting champions League football next year, were chasing play offs. I've watched the lad play on a number of occasions and he's more than good enough for this level. Reminds me of Randolph actually. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 We'll probably able to get him on the cheap too. Newcastle will be desperate to offload players. They've got a big squad and need people out of their club to bring others in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is OneBoro tho and some on here think we have a right to sign the top players and if it isn't a fancy name or anyone that suits there agenda then there automatically crap and not an upgrade. Got to trust Wilder and Co. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites
