Have you actually looked who the 'top' American goalkeepers are at the moment? One of them is the back up keeper at Forest. I mean ffs, Sylvester Stallone is ranked 7th! Forest, Oh yes the team that was promoted and yes he did actually play for them when Samba was out of favour. Link to post Share on other sites

He’s played in quite a lot of cup games for them and the odd league game which Ederson missed out on. He looks a calm laid back keeper who is ridiculously calm on the ball and can play. Tall, stocky unit type so competent on crosses, the only thing I would have to wait on to give a more assured opinion on his him making saves as he didn’t have to do a lot of that in the games I seen him play for city. Everytime I watched him though I did feel he was someone who was too good to be a no 2 and expected him to leave to a European team or lower Prem team so to get him whilst we are in championship feels a bit of a coup. He certainly looked ridiculously calm when he set up Mane in the FA Cup semi final. Looked like he might have dozed off for a few seconds actually. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a ‘nice to have’ for sure, but give me a big plodder who’s can stop the ball going in the back of the net over a keeper who’s good on the ball. Yeh I'm old fashioned I like my keeper to be able to command his area, close angles down and be competent with his handling and reflexes before I care about whether he spray the ball out to a wingback. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I was asked to give my opinion of him as I have seen more of him than a couple of lads on here so answered, first response back is a comment about his high profile mistake which the world seen. If you can’t see past that then you will never rate him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to play football is a massive part of the game, my son plays at a good level and is only 13. All the scouts look for distribution and how good they are with their feet over saving the ball as that can be taught. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Well hopefully not anyway. Think it's safe to say we want him, though. If the deal makes sense, we'll definitely be in for him. I am 99% certain he is the player we were quoted £20-25 mill for Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,496 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 @Changing Times I do get the point you are making about American GKs but I think we need to respect that this guy is no.2 at the most dominant club in the UK at moment. And he is currently keeping out a keeper Arsenal just paid £7m for in the national team. I can see peoples reservation about him but he really should be good enough for us. Prior to him we been linked with Man Utd no.3 (Heaton), Newcastle no.2/3 (Darlow) and Palace no.2/3 (Butland). I 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Were they promoted because he played for them? He played 6 times in the Championship for them, and that was when Samba got himself sent off and was suspended. Hopefully we'll be able to sign a number of players who barely played for Forest last season, to guarantee our own promotion 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

You sounded pretty assured with your comment a few pages back lol! This is the problem with no2s from big clubs they generally play in cups against lesser opposition so its hard to gauge how reliable they will be over the course of a season and what their true level of ability is. For me in the championship you just need a keeper who is solid in the basics somebody like Tim Krul being a fine example. Link to post Share on other sites
