shezzas left peg Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 5 minutes ago, toppOwl said: I don't think his injury "record" is a bad as some make out, yes he had a bad one in CC's last season but other than that been a fairly regular starter. Yes it's true, but as anyone whos played at any level regularly knows after 30, as you get older you become more susceptible to injuries and generally takes longer to heal too. Not a good scenario if your looking for a new no 1 your hopping to play 40+ games a season bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they have a fitness standard (probably something we should look at!) which his injury record is not up to. Don't know why they wouldn't have known this before offering him a deal but that's what I've been told. Obviously this doesn't mean someone else wont take the risk but i'd say the odds of him signing just raised significantly! P.S. Don't shoot the messenger! They probably dont think he is the keeper to help them extend their 586 game unbeaten run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When injuries were analysed with age groups in five year intervals, (as in table 1), there were no significant differences between number of injuries and age based on observed and expected figures. However when age groups were broken down into two age groups, the younger age groups (17–25) sustained relatively more injuries than older age groups (26–35+)" Maybe not everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengrass Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 An injured Westwood is better than their current keeper. Glad he doesn't meet their "standards" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorturner Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 5 hours ago, s63owl said: With me being a pessimist, I was thinking that Sunday looked quite the opposite. The big hug with Nicky Weaver before kick off, (almost like an enjoy your last game), the going nuts with Morgan Fox (like he didn’t want his last action to be conceding), and the photo with his kids in the goal mouth in front of the Kop (a memento of his time here). I am rubbish at reading people though, so I hope I really am wrong. I thought it was Pelupessy he was fuming at. Looked like Pelupessy failed to properly track back for both goals.

marshy Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 What ever the case I hope Westwood makes his decision sharpish. We don't want to have this dragging on well into the Summer for him to decide he's going. It would leave us in a bad position and we could end up with Dawson who imho just isn't ready yet. A quick decision would at least give us a fighting chance, but sadly I think we'll be weaker without him regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 4 hours ago, Blatter said: Probably because his agent has disclosed what Wednesday’s contract offer is. Thought they were going to get him for nothing and pay him peanuts why don't they put one of their forwards in goal?, they've been 'outstanding' at keeping the ball out of the net for a couple (or more) seasons now.

fpowl Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Sounds sour grapes to me that What’s there policy dont research any player just offer contract and then during negotiations if not going well create a new policy to get out of negotiations and save embarrassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night King Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 He’ll do what’s best for him and his family. Hopefully he’ll stay on, but if he gets a better offer from one of the other localish clubs he’ll be off. Doesn’t he live in Manchester? If so he’s got plenty of choice within a relatively short commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
