Uwe 3,543 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He's not good enough for the Prem. He could surprise us. Remember nobody was particularly impressed when we signed him from Hartlepool. With many people saying he wasn't good enough for a championship promotion (or top six) push. I include myself in that also Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wouldnt even bother arguing with humpty about this, hes been blinded ever since dimi took steeles place! Link to post Share on other sites
Daveymfc 39 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 We've not had a keeper good enough for the prem since big Mark left. I think Dimis the best we've had since. A man can't keep this many clean sheets and not be given a chance. I'm pretty sure he came from AEK Athens and not hartlepool though. I'm sure I read an article from Dimi about not being paid and the state of the Greek economy. Could be wrong though Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wouldnt even bother arguing with humpty about this, hes been blinded ever since dimi took steeles place! Do your research. I've heaped praise on Dimi over the last few months. Cheap shot for a "mod" Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 And its not a cheap shot to put mod in ""? Def not. In any case, i call it as i see it. Every praise ive ever seen you give him has been begrudgingly and theres almost always a reference to steele close by. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It wasn't a cheap shot, mods are supposed to keep the peace not provoke. Like I said you've not been paying attention. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 While I feel that Dimi could definitely do a job for us in the premier league, I would love us to have an experienced backup keeper proven at that level just in case. Mejias is a long way from being that player so we need to bring someone else in who won't mind warming the bench. Mannone could be a good shout but what about (hear me out here) Brad Jones? Did a decent job for us before Steele came along and has a good few years of premiership experience. Link to post Share on other sites

Did a decent job for us before Steele came along and has a good few years of premiership experience. Noooo please no I was happy to see the back of Jones when we pulled Liverpool's pants down and stole £2m of them for him, he took over from Mignolet this season and was quickly dropped again as he was awful Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Dimi is a solid Championship goalkeeper but I think if we get promoted we would be naive to keep him as our number one. We should extend Dimi's contract without doubt, to have him as our back-up, but I think we would be wise to invest in a higher quality keeper. Hopefully we can find someone who can have the influence that Schwarzer had here for such a long period of time. Link to post Share on other sites
typicalbrough 17 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Jones got injured, he wasn't dropped. But still no I don't want him here. Also too many games to go before I start thinking and the big P Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Could we just register Big Leo as a player/coach. That would be immense :):):) Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Can you imagine any striker wanting to take a shot against Leo? They'd run the opposite way. :D Link to post Share on other sites
OldManGravz 1,311 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I imagine Mejias will start in goal of we go up, with Dimi as backup Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What makes you think Mejias is anywhere near ready for the premiership? (and no, one excellent game against Man City doesn't count.) Link to post Share on other sites
