Marc_Degryse Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Nothing against this Johanssen but can't help but think that keepers at sides in the relegation zone always look a bit better than they are purely because the defence in front of them is so crap they have a load of shots to save. Easier to find a worldie for the highlights reel when you have so much practice. If they concede a load then the team/defence gets the blame unless they're making ricks left, right and centre.

A big problem has always been the age and fitness of the team when it’s come to realistically raising big funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I thought I'd seen somewhere that contract talks had stalled. Are we trying to extend his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marro Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Time for Dawson to move on. He's had more than a fair crack at it and is on decent wages. We need better whatever division we are in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need better whatever division we are in. What kind of goalie do you get for those kind of wages though? I prefer him to Beadle, because he commands his box better, catches the ball more often, has very good reactions for close shots, penalties etc, but I think he struggles with confidence in the Championship, although when he has played this season we had a ridiculously poor set of constantly changing defensive lineups in front of him making lots of mistakes that led to goals. Beadle does not seem to interact with the rest of the team at all, which I don't think helps either. I agree that we need a better number one, but not sure where we will get one from without spending some money. The Rotherham guy looks a good option to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we can match his current deal so would he take a pay cut to be number one in league one? IMO he should but easier said than done at the same club.

Ante's Bubbly Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 The thing is Mr P's J, when a manager is allowed to get involved and manages to talk to players he really wants, it can swing the right kind of player into coming. Unfortunately when DC and his trusted advisor are given a free hand, they can only use high wages as an incentive and those kinds of players only tend to do the business for a short time. Usually until things get bad, or their agent finds someone willing to pay a few dollars more (insert any high wage currency for dollars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johansson has a mistake in him Don’t know enough about Paterson But watch the highlights of our win against Leicester. Cooper made 3 or 4 breathtaking saves and made them look ordinary. He’s worth so many points to us. Im fairly sure he has never let in a goal from outside the box in open play in something like 100 games.

Millers are are worse than us in tying players down to longer term contracts. Year left on his contract, £750,000 release in his contract One of the top 3 keepers in the division why anyone would think that he would choose us is beyond me Will not be short of offers from top end championship teams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been to several Rotherham games this season and Johannson (sp) has been Motm in most of them he's a terrific keeper but like most Championship Keepers, Cooper included, has the occasional rick in him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockyowl Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Went to the Rotherham Brum game today, I’d be doing all I could to get Johansson, 750K would be a steal but I’m sure he will have lots of clubs after him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 He probably looks good with the amount of shots he’s had to face. If we stay up i’d rather go for beadle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
