Neverbefore 10,940 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not sure how anyone can say he needs to bulk up, he looks a similar stature to neuer. Awful music though Link to post Share on other sites
osvaldo 36 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6l43HHb0Bw Highlights of Mejias, doesnt look bad at all He'll need to bulk up if he is to cope with the physical nature of English football Not really, he's 6ft 5 and weighs over 13 stone. I'd bet it's all muscle as well. I think what you mean is he'll have to learn to adapt to the physical nature of English football which offers less protection to goalkeepers than in the Spanish league he's used to Really? Jason Steele looks a lot bigger than him. Leo was saying in an interview he hasn't got the physical attributes that Dimi and Steele have too. I hope Mejias gets the nod over the other two tho Link to post Share on other sites
Lee29 1 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I hope Steele gets another chance, but I can't see it. Link to post Share on other sites
TheSniffingBadger 17 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Being physically bigger and stronger is something which is not 'essential' to be a good goalkeeper. David DeGea may have struggled when he first arrived on our shores but still made his was onto the PFA team of the year, he's a 'spindly' built lad and regarded as one of the better goalkeepers in the Premier League. Mejias would probably be a better option than the others we have at the club. P.s he's 6ft5 apparently, taller than most. Link to post Share on other sites

Mejias is a rather large unit as well, he jogged past me in middlesbrough a few weeks after we first signed him last season, pictures and videos dont do his size justice imo Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 After some extensive research on Vossen (all be it on youtube) he would suit us perfectly as a number 9 but I'm not so sure as a number 10, I feel Tomlin offers more "in the hole" and a lot of Vossen's goals come from crosses and he dispatches them one way or another. I feel like signing him and Kike may be an expensive risk but we could reap the rewards. Takes the pressure of one another to perform whilst at the same time spurs each other on to hit top goalscoring form. Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, i think if we get Clayton in, we might see a few departures, then we might push a deal through, people like Smallwood/Hines will bring in a bit of money, granted only about 700k between them, but we could put that straight onto the Vossen deal id imagine Link to post Share on other sites

He seems like he wants to come though, which is the most important thing, i cant see Genk holding out all summer if he's openly said he's not happy and he wants to leave.

We actually are going up, it's going to happen, it's destiny, Yeah im feeling quietly confident this season too, it doesnt seem like any of the teams around us have improved their squads much. Watford, Cardiff and Norwich are looking a bit strengthy atm, but i fancy Cardiff and Norwich to lose a few of their better players before the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites

boksicdink 1,942 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't think much of Clayton's attention seeking on Twitter. Also from having a quick glance at HTFC's forum, they think that anything around £2m is good business for them... Link to post Share on other sites
