Wall Writer Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 a small uninteresting point: his name in English would be "John Fly" (as in the annoying buzzing flying creature, caught by spiders). Uninteresting I know, but quite a cool name, nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ustoffee22 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's a solid signing just backs up howard cause Nash is not quality plus i think its on a free so we dont have to shell out any money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 No idea if he's any good (suspect he might be ) but it gives us another team to follow in the World Cup . End of Nash (at least he fulfilled his dream and played for us, even if it was only once) and probably one of Turner and Ruddy. I'd like to see Ruddy stay personally.

inertia8 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ruddy has looked good this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ruddy has looked good at pretty much every club he's been loaned to and the fans have raved about him. I would be hoping that we keep him on, but I think he'll be sold to Motherwell alongside the Jukebox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Surely an International first choice keeper won't want to spend his life sat on the bench? While it's good to have 2 quality keepers available, I think he'll have t play some if he's to be kept happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Moyes would have told him though he'll start off as #2 to Howard? He does sound promising though, perhaps we'll see him in goal more often than we did with Nash (assuming he leaves).

Kohen Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Reading that he sounds like a genuine nice guy. It's just strange that he's coming, after he's had those "staggering" offers from around the world that he'd come to sit there as 2nd choice goal keeper, unless there's something we don't know about Howard?

Ian Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Am I the only one finding this a non story? Moyes doesnt seem to care much for the NO.2 spot, under him we have never really had a solid no.2 (and that's inc. Tricky Dicky haha) It seems to me that if hes half decent then thats all that matters, which isnt neccasary a bad thing, Howard is a fine keeper. I don't think Ruddy and Turner will ever have the day sadly, I think one of them deserved a crack at it, even if it is as understudy to Howard.

This guy is meant to be pretty decent, and highly rated, what if Moyes see's him as the new number 1? It might take time admittedly but we all know Howard is uncapable at commanding his box, so maybe Moyes is looking for a better keeper? (Prepares for the bonbardment) He maybe coming in as an 'initial' No2 with the view to knock Howard off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustoffee22 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Moyes is trying to build competition in a spot where there is no competition. What makes players better is competition in practice. Howard has none. He know's he's the best in trainging all we have is Nash and Turner. So you bring another good keeper in put him in some games see how he does there and in training and let the two compete against each other. Howard is my favorite player. He's the reason I found everton and became a fan. But he's starting to get on in age and he needs someone to push him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Another bit of unusual dealing from Everton, and another smack in the face for Turner and Ruddy. God knows why EFC have this obsession with goalkeepers, not a season goes by that we dont bring in another keeper. If i was Ruddy or Turner my transfer request would be in the post today, i would have wasted 5 years of my career here waiting for the chance to step up into the squad. I would be quite happy to sit on the bench and get a bit of recognition, but they keep bringing in old has beens who never play anyway. Why. ??

Bailey Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 IMO Turner is crap and I dont really rate him from the times I have seen him (admittedly not too often) and Ruddy has looked half decent and has looked very promising in Scotland but he is only around the 23 mark. My view would be to sell Turner and keep loaning Ruddy out for 1st team experience until someone makes a good offer or he is good enough for the 1st team. Goalkeepers mature much later than outfield players but they do need the 1st hand experience playing competitive matches. He would be in a much worse position if we kept him at the club to sit on the bench every week and play maybe 3/4 games a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a quality back-up to Tim and if DM (presumably with input from Chris Woods) thinks that neither Turner or Ruddy are up to it yet then we need someone else. Nash will be thirty-eight next season and is not brilliant anyway so if we can get a young full international on a free then great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Because neither Turner nor Ruddy are good enough What not good enough to sit on the bench , how many League games has Nash played, or the fella we had last season, think they've only played a couple of League Cup games between them in two years.

Bill Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 "Only because we've been lucky in that Tim's not been injured". --- That goes for all the players Cahill, Arteta, Jagielka, and Fellaini, have all been hurt long term, but we get on with it and others are able to step in. What do we do, buy cover for Rodwell, Coleman, and Gosling, because they are not as good as the 1st team men in possesion. If its only a game or two theres no problem, Ruddy or Turner are quite capable keepers. If its going to be long term then you think about bringing in another keeper, but there is no sense in having two top keepers when you can only play one. He might be on a free I'm not sure, but we will still be paying him 10, 20, 30 thousand pounds a week to sit where Ruddy or Turner can sit. IMO.

Christ mate i'm good enough to sit on the bench, cos they wont play anyway. Im not sure I follow your logic, if indeed there is any. Are you asking what is the point of having quality on the bench? I would have thought the answer to that was self explanatory, and what happens if Howard breaks a leg or something ? Would you be happy to have either Ruddy or Turner in the side for any length of time? It would be to late to start rummaging around for a decent keeper once Howard was injured If we follow your logic we could just get rid of all the other keepers and save a few bob on wages because they wont play anyway! Oh and by the way he is on a free Edited March 6, 2010 by duncanmckenzieismagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
