The 22-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of January, and will wear the number 27 shirt in SA1.

We went for the cheapest.


As I thought.
Will always be the way from now until we get new owners

The keepers over 30 as STID mentioned:

- Dean Lyness sub keeper in Scotland. Conceded 12 in his last 3 games before being released.

- Peter Smith keeper in Hong Kong league. 37 years old.

- Nikki Lee Bulmer released from Prestatyn after previously being released by Runcorn Linetts.

Big names there. Tight buggers.

Imagine getting a Premier League youth keeper instead and highest valued on that list, the cheek of it.

Cheap skates as should have dealt with it in the last week in the window and signed a decent keeper.
They knew Fisher wasn't the answer yet still sat on their wallets.

Wasn’t the answer to what? He was Martins choice for number 1.

No point in having x3 keepers on first team wages.

The order of the day was to take the exposure off Lewis Webb by bringing in someone a step up from him. That’s what they did.

On one hand you are complaining about them not spending, then you want them spending pointlessly. This keeper will likely never play, same goes for anyone brought in during January.

There is criticism and then there is just nonsense, this is firmly parked in the latter.

Martin knows he made a mistake (though he wouldn't say it publicly otherwise he would not have replaced him as regular goalkeeper with Benda
He has been forced to use him again only by Benda's injury

So we should have let him have another blind stab in the dark?

Who did you want to replace Fisher then?

"Huddersfield signed Czech Republic international goalkeeper TomáÅ¡ Vaclík on January 31st till the end of the season, so there were options out there.
Fast approaching 500 career appearances to his name at 33 years of age, the six foot three tall goalkeeper has also appeared over 50 times for Czech Republic, playing against England at EURO 2020 as the country’s first choice at the tournament."
So have Huddersfield suddenly become so rich that they can pay a fee we could not afford ?
This was the sort of keeper we should have signed in the last week or so of the window.

You mean the guy earning £62k a week last season?

Yeah that’s the kind of guy we need

You really think Huddersfield going to be paying those sorts of wages ?
Honestly cannot see it.
They spent nothing on transfers last season I believe ?
Have they had a massive cash injection ?

No, but he’s probably on 20k a week, quite easily.

That’s a 500k package for a 6 month deal. A ridiculous amount that I would be really annoyed about if it turned out we had made such a signing.

If it made the difference in our case between reaching the Play Offs or not, especially if we got promoted, or in Hudds case, relegation or staying up , then worth it surely ?

Nature of the position.

But anyone pretending it has been a problem area is lying.

Nobody was calling for a new keeper in January until Benda got injured.

I’ll be happy for you to prove me wrong, you must have been calling for a keeper right?

We are not going up or down so agree no point in splashing the cash on a keeper that will hardly play.

We have a decision to make on Martin now though how can we plan for next season with the uncertainty regarding the manager.

I was of the view reevaluate at the end of the season but we do seem to be floating aimlessly.

Yeah the keeper thing is a load of nonsense and I’m sure even the ones pretending it’s a bad thing know deep down it’s a perfectly reasonable transaction.

As for Martin, it’s a tough one but I’m probably leaning that way too.

He isn’t learning.

If Joey has his badges then get him at the helm for the rest of the season. He’s played at a far higher level and in teams that actually adopt a good brand of intelligent passing and possession football, in fact was the key cog in several of them.

So yeah, I’m finding myself in agreement.

Absolutely, him and Grimes are the dressing room leaders and he was always brought back with this in mind. Coaching badges done.

Played in the heart of our midfield when we played a real brand of possession football and did the same at Liverpool.

He’s the obvious candidate from within.
