Why bother with Lewis Gibson?

Why bother with Lewis Gibson?

Because we have to have a player who is still in the youth ranks at the age of 25 that people on here are saying has tons of potential and could walk into the first team despite all evidence pointing otherwise

 

[ToffeeTim]

No mention of Delph?

 

[GoldenToffee]

No mention of Delph?

He's been made Fitness Coach for next season.

 

[davids]

Suspended on full pay. Sacking somebody with no criminal charges is legally dicey.

And odd that no charges have been made after such a long an investigation.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Right someone explain to me the logic with Lonergan as that just seems like throwing money up the wall. There's 0 reason for him

Most clubs have a 3rd back up keeper that is rubbish , even city

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Yeh he did on his personal platform just think the club should be slightly competenet and give us the full list.

Good use of "think" in place of "expect"

He's on like 2k a week, premier league experience. Can probably kick a ball where he needs to to train with Pickford.

 

[maccavennie]

Don't know why we've given Lonergan an extension. Tyrer more than capable of being 3rd choice unless they have a decent loan lined up for him.

We also have a normal back up keeper that is ancient and rubbish is the difference. And about 4 keepers in the 19-24 bracket from the academy who we would play before Lonergan. It's money for nothing

I'll do that and for less than 2k

 

[Bluestar]

Why bother with Lewis Gibson?

If Branthwaite goes on loan, he will take up the fifth CB place.

 

[APN_EFC]

I don't get the Andy Lonergan signing. Begovic is clearly good enough as a no.2 , and no.1 whenever required, but Lonergan? This means that Virginia is done, and no other young keepers are good enough for no.3.

Sounds like we should just hire another keeper coach if all that's required is to kick a ball to pickford. Or something any other keeper is capable of. 0 premier league games in his career btw
