Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Off the top of my head, didn't Kalinic only play in that period were by everybody was pretty horrific?

And yet he still stood out.

As did Hourihane.

Reading the Stoke forum they obviously rate him although his form did dip after he got injured. They seem resigned to losing him to Bournemouth but the Cherries won’t pay £23m and now we have come into the mix, so either they will pay up or he is ours. Interesting that his family is IoW so that might play into his thinking

Meaning Kalinic is a good keeper?

Meaning the whole squad was a basket case in that period, Hourihane looked crap, Hause looked crap, Kalinic looked crap, El-Ghazi looked crap, McGinn looked innefective.

Butland used to have his digs in Kings Norton when he was Blues, so he knows the area.

[VinnieChase84]

Think Butland still lives in Lichfield

Do you think Kalinic is a good keeper?

Wicket Keeper perhaps. 

[LukeJames]

Fuck knows tbh, I've only seen him play 6 games.

Were you impressed?

Can't see how anyone could make a balanced judgement based on the shambles of a team that he was playing behind.

[hilts_coolerking]

I guess that being as how we're being linked with a new keeper it seems it was enough for Dean.

[LukeJames]

Of course not, but then that goes back to my initial point of that he only played during that period were I wasn't impressed with anybody.

Take Hause for example, they both came in the club at pretty much the same time, both looked very poor. Hause however did not get injured and was able to play in a settled side and we saw he had value, Kalinic got injured and has not played in a settled side so theres still a question mark over him.

[KRS]

The coaching team see what Kalinic, Nyland and Steer are capable of every day in training. If they feel we need to sign a new No.1 then it's fair to say that neither of them are good enough or don't fit in with the squad.

[Steve67]

Neither Kalinic or Nyland were brought in by Dean Smith either.  He wants his own man between the sticks and I expect the owners and Christina Purslow to back him.
