Confirmed Signing Robin Olsen

[Nymzee]

We're going to sign Harry Maguire when he leaves Utd aren't we.

Yup. All we ever hear as if it wasn’t over 2 years ago now haha.

 

[helpimonfire]

Can the players call him Robbo?

I’d look top class playing against a load of lumberjacks and dog botherers.

38 international caps, presumably not all against lumberjacks and dog botherers
(can't honestly say I know much about him but at 6'5" he automatically gets my vote over Pickford)

Can the players call him Robbo?

"Robban" would be the proper swedish titulation

Maybe.

Think it's telling Everton went for Romero and Gazzaniga, before this fella at the death though.

Let's see - I pretty confident Pickford remains number one. I'd be surprised if Olsen makes a single premier league appearance.

There is no proof that we went for either of those players.

I do think we are looking to get by for this season in goal so that we can attack the role properly next summer.

 

[Papa Shango]

There's no way this lad is good enough to replace Pickford so I dont see the point.

How can you possibly know that?

Hopefully just a run of the mill keeper we need nothing spectacular but nothing moronic either. His parries worry me tho.

Curse of the 2018 World Cup with this lad.

Pickford: “But he was really good for England in the last World Cup”

Mina: “Up for a corner, England know how deadly he is from them”

Yawn

Just watched quick highlights of the sweden eng game from 2018.
Pretty lame for harry maguires headed goal. No attempt to save it. Just sort of sat down on his arse.

As I said after the Brighton game, Pickford has some magical reputation of being top class because he's "England's number 1" despite 2 seasons of him being gash.

The only mark against Carlo so far is that he's been hoodwinked just like Alladyce and Silva were.

Romero should have been in and given the no1 spot.

Can't believe our board appointed the fraud Ancelotti when we could have had @ForeverBlue92

 

[captainvindaloo]

If he can catch a ball and stay focused better than the current butter fingers... why not?

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Ah....

Thats not Pickford is it?

 

[when i score we riot]

I've seen him play a few odd games for Copenhagen, Malmö and the Swedish national team. Just your basic grock keeper, decent shot stopper, good in the air and 1 on 1. Good on pens too, in fact.

Will never match the "modern" distribution style and passing Picko Peabrain plays but that clearly doesn't seem to be the top priority. If called upon, we can expect something better than Tim Howard levels from him. Hopefully.

I trust Carlo, the previous frauds I didn’t so let’s see what happens
