[KindofBlue]

meh

 

[degsy]

Not Pickford, Lossl or Virginia ✓
Hasn't conceded a goal or dropped a ball yet✓

Will take big, wheelbarrow sized balls to put him straight in for The Derby though

Welcome to Everton Robin Olsen. Not too excited by this transfer, but that's mainly because I know nothing about the guy really. If Carlo Ancelotti and Marcel Brands believe he is good enough to keep Pickford on his toes and even step in if needs be, then it's a case of trusting that he's the right man for the job.

Stek! Stek! Come back Stek!

What is young Joel up to these days?

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Not arsed I'd have big Nev in goal over Pickford at this rate, at least this lad will be about 15 stone lighter

 

[PeregrineT]

Ive really never seen him play before, but what I can tell you is I know a guy who has watched him for years in fact, and over that extensive period of time has come to the conclusion that hes not Jordan Pickford.

So its a yes from me.

Wow the expers on Roma backup keeper’s abilities here .... I have no idea how you watch so much footy to base opinions on players like this
I for one see him as 30 experienced enough to know how to catch a ball and step up the pressure on Butterfingers until a Real replacement appears
You may have noticed there’s not many keepers not making mistakes right now so good ones are hard the pry away

 

[Sweverton]

Not watched Roma or Cagliari but he's been good for the Swedish NT atleast

 

[Ambient]

I remember him playing against Norway last year in the qual for Europe. It ended 3-3 and I remember he saved some good efforts.

The verdict from a Swedish forum is that he is on the same level as Pickford can do great saves but often does mistakes.

No nothing about him but will give him a chance, big lad experienced and cannot be as bad as the current keeper is playing.
Will make my own mind up about him when I have seen him a few times ,
Hopefully he can command his area .

In Carlo we trust.

 

[Cool_Blue]

He’s 6’5”, so for that reason alone, I’m in.

People, learn your lesson like I have with DCL, if Carlo likes the look of someone then he's a good'n.

I've seen the NEA, MEH, who is he, and all the other sarcastic comments about this signing, exactly what I was like with DCL.

There's more to goalkeeping than the odd brilliant save, if gets his chance, which I think he will, and if he's a calming figure for the defence and a good organiser then he'll be worth his weight in gold.

In Carlo we trust

Olsen was on loan at Cagliari last season. Carlo will know about this keeper. People are challenging King Carlo lol. He is tall 1.96m long arms so claiming high ball not a problem.

Don't know him. Looks on YouTube like a 6'5" Pickford. That's still better than regular Pickford.
