Okay everyone knows that we have to rectify this problem with our Gk's and that will probably be in the summer but who is out there? Fab sadly is now to old for the Prem yes he has some good games more so than Areola but father time is catching him so if we replace him and Areola not the answer then how about these two.
Caoimhín Kelleher from the bindippers and Ramsdale from Saints both young and upgrades on Areola for sure.....i shall put the tin hat on for one of those that no doubt will lead to WTF are you smoking!.
KWP get him from Saints now Sell Emerson and get a Striker in pension off Ings and get Aguered sold as well.... until we get a fit frontman i think we may be looking at playing a false 9.
There seems to be very few
There seems to be very few goalkeepers that command their areas these days, they all seem to opt for staying on the line, not sure if that’s because opposition players try and block them for corners but even on free kicks they seem to stay rooted. Areola seems to be struggling when he plays, Fabianski is the safer pair of hands. I like Jose Sa who plays for Wolves but I don’t think he’s a youngster, Ramsdale is a good shot stopper but I don’t think he’s good enough with his feet for the modern game, particularly if Potter wants to play possession football.
As for up front I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a worse striker at West Ham than Ings in the last 20 years, not only does he not score but his general play is woeful, he offers absolutely nothing at all. West Ham need 2 good strikers, Fullkrug is proving to be a liability with his injuries, also think they need at least 1 centre back, Movrapanos always looks like he’s got a mistake in him and for all the hype I’ve not seen anything from Todibo to think he’s the answer, considering the amount of money that was spent in the summer the squad still looks like it’s 4 or 5 players short of being a top 8 side to me.
I think Aguerd is doing
I think Aguerd is doing really well where he, is so may well go for good. As for a goalkeeper, haven't seen what Foderingham can offer?
I do remember the old saying that Keepers get better with age and a keeper in their early 30's is not a hindrance. Areola is not good enough and Fab is just too old now. I remember in the late 70's Kevin Keelan of Norwich and big Joe Corrigan played until 40!
Personally I'd get JWP back double rapid I feel Potter would use him properly at last?
In my opinion,Ward Prowse
In my opinion,Ward Prowse should be on his way back with immediate affect,ive said in previous posts with the right manager he will blossom,and Potter is the man,you will also see a different Bowen when hes back,didnt work for him under loopy.
Can we get JWP back though?
As a loan fee was agreed and paid i am not sure he can be recalled but i could be wrong just not sure nowadays.... Only found out no replays in the F.A. cup anymore what a disgrace...hope those big clubs with poor tired players who forced that through are happy as a football fan in general i am not.
Depends
On what you're expecting from a goalkeeper. One who bales out a crappy defence on a regular basis in which case that puts Ramsdale out of the picture. he couldn't even help a decent Arse defence. If you scroll through my history you will see that I was a firm advocate for Raya but the Arse got there first. Most of you will be aware that I'm not a fan of Areola so we will put that argument to one side but to be honest I don;t think there are any standout keepers these days in the Premier League But Fabs, is still up there with the best, age is not an issue with goalkeepers. I'm sure Buffon, at 38 will be gracing the next World Cup
3 players I would love to see
3 players I would love to see come in & would make a difference. Kelleher, Gibbs-White & Delap. Unfortunately. I think that Gibbs-White & Delap are beyond us now.
