Zoo 2.0 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'm surprised that there isn'ttt already a thread for this lad as according to some sources this is all but confirmed. According to one outlet he had a medical this Friday and is set to sign for us this week, Huddersfield have confirmed his exit after relegation and he's available to sign on a free transfer. I'd expect João Virginia to be loaned out, back home in Portugal or in the lower leagues with Stekelenburg either hanging up his boots or settling for a final season as third choice. With Lossl being 6'5 it certainly gives us another option with the "small" Jordan Pickford as our current 'keeper! Considering it's a free and it's for the bench I don't think we can complain, he came highly rated to Huddersfield and I think their problems ran much deeper than who stood in goal. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yeah people saying he’s shit but that team was and still is awful so let’s not just blame him. He’s 30 and as a bench keeper could be useful. Marco doesn’t play the second keeper in cup matches so this guy is just for injury cover, I’m fine with that.

He does - he (Silva) said he didn’t this season (in the FA Cup) as we were on such a bad run and didn’t feel it would have been the correct choice.

Makis Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Stek is leaving and they obviously think Virginia is ready to be #2. This guy shouldn't be playing many games and is probably cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Stek will be off to Barca with Koeman! Pretty sure Cuco Martina will be high up on Koeman’s list too! plaidharper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Stek is off but nearly all squads name 3 keepers, no? I’d rather Virginia gets a loan but then we’d need a 3rd keeper. Or, he’s off on loan and we keep Stek for a season and he sees out his contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I’ve actually got no issue with this at all. I think he’s proven to be a decent keeper with Huddersfield in the prem. Their first season he was actually very good. Low wage, fills the void until Virgina is ready and if it allows him a loan to a championship team or similar to play first team then even better. heckcr01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I see this as in upgrade on Stek, younger, and reasonably decent keeper as a back up and competition to ensure Pickford stops the brain farts, as long as his wages aren't stupidly high I'd go for it, rather we spent our money elsewhere on the field Edited May 21, 2019 by Wiggytop Correction heckcr01 and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Welcome Jonas. Decent back up keeper for us. Solid and dependable while not taking a huge wage. Im guessing Stek wants to move on to get a few appearances in his last year or two. markjazzbassist, pete0 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidd Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 He's 2nd choice for the national team after Schmeichel. I think that's a decent addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Shrewd bit of business I think, couple of seasons prem experience, albeit with a shit defence in front of him, 30 and an international, bit like getting Heaton on a free, probably worth 10-15m on a transfer markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could not play a game this season and we could still profit a minimum of 5m off him next summer if he wants to leave. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I guess that means Stek is gone or Joao Virginia is going on loan. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Personally, I think he's a pretty decent keeper. If anyone has a hangup about the fact his team were crap, just consider where Pickford came from. Matt and Gwlad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
