Proballly right sadly any mistakes v Watford, does not raise any expectations in what is RK playing at overall if any other Dutch players join us pre season will they become undropable next season?
That's a worry because how bad do you have to be????

Our Dutch manager has a love of Dutch players if he thinks the Stek is the answer I will twist your question around why does our Dutch Manager prefer a Dutch hasbeen Keeper to a younger Spanish Keeper who in my opinion is a far better keeper, and prospect than him???
If he signs future Dutch players who then play rubbish every week do they keep their place like the Stek??...
Again where do I state I hate Dutch people ??? When I,just questioning the wisdom of fetching his Dutch signing back in who's record for us is poor to say the least!
We don't seem to win many games with him in goal!

I'll defer to an actual managers opinion.

Disturbing that you are making it about nationality to be perfectly honest.

To be honest I have always though this buy was about nothing more then nationality, would we buy a reserve keeper from a lower league side if he was French? I doubt it. I dont have a problem with Koeman but buying and playing him was a major mistake

Yes the same as you backed Tim Howard to the hilt when he was playing pants because you were from the USA no way did anyone mention that - you have a very nasty habit of twisting facts this now saying I have racist undertones is absurd to say the least - we need a decent keeper RK went out for the third time to sign a dutch international aging keeper one who had failed him at Southampton - Dutch football is far past its great heights of yesteryear - I try to point that out , and again you like twisting an argument you are losing by getting personal or having a dig - I object to that many fans on this thread have queried why the Stek was fetched back, his playing record speaks volumes to easily win the argument OK!
Since he has come back D -L -L - when we were unbeaten, and we had a very good run of games it may be just a pure coincidence that Robles was in goal Stek had recovered from injury , but Robles was doing so well he was left in - by the way I am not pro Spanish it's a silly comments you intimate at me that I am anti dutch - I just pointed out if we did sign big name Dutch players and the were RK signings would he show the same favoritism to that player he had signed like the Stek when he is clearly not up to it?
We do need competition for a no 1 Keeper if he plays well, and does the job I dont care what nationality he is as long as if he is playing rubbish he gets dropped!
which I pointed out does not seem to be the case ATM!

Genuine LOL

Even the forums official account got in on the act of ridiculing peoples opinions on Howard if they were American.

Anyway on Stek he isn't good enough, don't think anyone has claimed otherwise and most people agree we need a new number 1.

He didn't prefer Stek, Stek actually lost his place to Robles and Robles stayed in the team because of some decent form. Koeman would have kept him in except he lost his head against Spurs and Liverpool and then was back to making crazy mistakes. So Stek had to come back in but has been woeful too. Neither are good enough.
