Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

100 quid donation if Begovic joins us, no chance at all of that happening.

Haha I've now seen where this report has come from which has slightly concerned me...better get on Bet365!

Begovic is a top quality keeper but have a guess what the weakest part of his game is.....

Guzans distribution may be poor but its still heaps better than Bosnichs was.

True, but that was the only thing Guzan is better than Bosnich at. Let's face it he isn't fit to lace his size 15 boots.

Are you sure you understand the meaning of scapegoat?

Short memories n all that. His kicking is shit but what's new there, he kept us up season before last.

He looked pretty iffy to me for much of last season. It doesn't really matter what he did the season before last if he then follows it with a season of looking dodgy.

He lost his place to Given, which says all you need to know, really. It certainly makes it clear what Sherwood thinks, so I suppose we'll be after a new keeper.

I would agree with those who suggest that keeper shouldn't be our number one priority, mind. I think we've got so many number one priorities, I'm not sure which is the real one.

Or the point of a hashtag.

It could mean as little as our manager just has shit taste in goalkeepers.

Exactly keeper isn't priority. Shore up the bloody defence and Guzan will be ok. For now.
He got dropped after his first major gaffe (ciŁy away) .

Bosnich's biggest problem was that he could barely get the ball to the half way line. As much as I like Guzan, his gaff at Man City was inexcusable. He deserved to be dropped after that game but as a kick in the backside to step up to what he's shown he's capable of in the past, not to be thrown out with the garbage.

Although when he did get dropped, it raised the eyebrows of almost nobody.

Mind you it happened right after he dropped an almighty bollock at Man City. So the timing couldn't have been any more perfect if he was going to get dropped.

I disagree with that.

There was a 400+ post thread on here at the end of April where about half the posts were people saying that Guzan shouldn't be dropped. That's a whole heap of raised eyebrows.

I still think the defence goes to pot with Given behind them, Guzan is a much more calming influence. I think Begovic is an outstanding keeper though, and a good upgrade, but for Ł10 million surely a left back and central midfielder are bigger priorities at the moment.

Agreed, although I think many of those were more due to the concerns of Given, not the merits of dropping Guzan.
