Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
My choice would be David Ospina. I thought he was one of the best keepers at the last World Cup and was jealous when L'Arse got him.
He hasn't been a success there but that is not unusual. He is, however, now settled and familiar with the English game and could turn out like Gomes at Watford, who now looks like a very sound keeper, having looked like a clown at Spuds.
Ospina was in the press the other day saying he is looking for another Prem club. Very gettable and a good fit for us, seeing as I imagine he might jump at a chance to be a first choice while staying in London.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
David Ospina is nothing special, Adrian is better than him.
Again, of all the areas of the team that need fixing, the starting goalkeeper is not one of them.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Disagree. A good goalie instills more confidence in defenders. Imho Adrian is usually a good shot stopper but even then this can fail him. However, he is not commanding enough of his area and crosses do cause him problems from what I have seen.brothernero wrote:David Ospina is nothing special, Adrian is better than him.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Considering the chances we gave them yesterday I didnt think he was that bad. Still mind boggling how no-one had the back post or take charge of stopping Milner doing a Nolan in front of him.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
New Right Back
New Centre Half x 2
New Left Back, maybe
New Central Midfielder x 2
New Reserve Keeper
We don't need a new number 1 and we certainly haven't got the money for one.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Well we're probably going to lose our Spanish stopper this summer. If Adrian makes a mistake, or we just concede a few, he gets dropped. If Hart f**ks up he carries on.

We are going to piss off one player who loves playing for us for the sake of babysitting one who's off in a handful of matches.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Yes, he is an average keeper. But he is made to appear less than the sum of his parts by a defence which is inadequate, aged - for the most part - and slow.
Any keeper, no matter their skill, will appear poor behind a defence which is not fit for purpose.
And it isn’t just the defence. Yesterday, we actually closed down and harried for the ball. All too frequently we don’t.
Put together the team’s weaknesses and you’ll know to look elsewhere first, or we end up spunking out our cash for a keeeper and forgetting the fact that the four/five in front all need replacing.
Cresswell may be salvageable IF we buy well. Rice has massive potential. Injuries and age take the rest. Reid is made of shattered glass; Zabaleta and Ginge, though both excellent on their day, have lost any pace they had and are exposed by any forward who hasn’t; Ogbonna is the exception that proves the rule; Byram is rivalling Carroll for injury records; Masuaku is now more of a winger and is good going forward but not exactly up to muster defensively; Evra is so old and slow that I, in my rotundity, could outpace him and Oxford’s head may explode with his own sense of his own brilliance before we see anything worthwhile from him.
Change the defence and THEN consider the keeper.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
I don't care what anyone says, you can't ruin it for me, Puff :lol:
I love Adrian, I think he's normally good to brilliant, every keeper makes mistakes, Adrian doesn't make anymore than any of the big clubs stoppers, and he has saved our bacon on so many occasions, he makes saves he shouldn't be able to.
Replacing him with someone as good, or better, would cost a f**king fortune, Everton paid 30m for a keeper that isn't an improvement on Adrian, Pickford makes more mistakes.
The GSB have spent more on Harts season long loan than they have on every keeper they've signed for us, combined, incredible.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Whatever mate, but when we do sign a better all round goalkeeper and not just the shot stopper that is Adrian, it is then that you will spot his inadequacies. I do, however, agree with your last sentence, but would have no qualms about Adrian being our number two behind someone like Muslera or Rui PatricioJumby wrote:I don't care what anyone says, you can't ruin it for me, Puff :lol:

But is it Moyes or Sullivan and no doubt nothing to do with form and all to do without Hart’s England place.kayahammer wrote:We are going to piss off one player who loves playing for us for the sake of babysitting one who's off in a handful of matches.

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
Bilic dropped him and now Moyes has dropped him. Are there issues off the pitch?

Re: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo
I think previously a contract issue and now an expensive loan signing that needs to be justified involving a player who is desperate to go to the World Cup.MB wrote:Bilic dropped him and now Moyes has dropped him. Are there issues off the pitch?
We'll appreciate how good Adrian was when Vorm is dropping crosses into his own net.
