Nobody is going to sell there 1st/2nd keeper in the final few days of a transfer window so Olsen probably as good as your going to get as short term cover. I am sure another keeper will be high on the radar over the next 12 months. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he means they haven't got anything wrong so far so there's no reason to think Olsen is the wrong signing. I could have that completely fucked up though!

Hafnia Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 He's an absolute unit this keeper, 6ft 5. They have probably punched in the numbers and come out green. Low risk. At the very least he will be training with Pickford and he may realise he ain't the alpha male.... It may spark the required response.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Roma fans reaction is a bit concerning, seems like we’ve brought in a keeper low on confidence to challenge a keeper also low on confidence ! https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/10/06/some-roma-fans-react-as-robin-olsen-joins-everton/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got lossl and Virginia.... I think he's more than a stek replacement. We were trying to get Romero.... We weren't getting him to replace Stek on £60k + a week. Pickford has cost us 4 goals already. This is drastic Measures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 There are a few things I will say on this. 1. People's views on keepers can be massively skewed. Some fans expect the world, some see an easy save as a world class one and there is lots of interpretation as to what is or isn't an error so without seeing him in the flesh and making your own opinion, I wouldn't particularly judge him on what other fans say. 2. In the videos I have watched he looks a solid keeper. Nothing special, but one who gets himself in the position to make the save more often than not. I don't expect him to be pulling balls out of the top corner or single-handedly winning us games but he looks to be someone that will make the saves a decent keeper should. 3. Its hard to tell but I do get the impression he is a 6 yard box keeper in that he doesn't like coming too far off his line. Despite his size I therefore suspect he probably isn't going to be coming out and claiming loads of balls, sweeping up behind the back 4 and nor is he going to be that great with his feet. Given how we play, that could be a bit of an issue, especially when we are playing a high line with our slower centre backs. Without meaning to be a pun, he might just be the safe pair of hands we need at the moment. Solid but not spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Don't get the excitement. He's had one season at a decent level and was loaned out after it. If we were bringing in a keeper to replace Pickford it'd be a first choice elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 He was out of favour at Roma and low on confidence when he did this against Spain. (That second save, he sees it so late and still manages to get his entire body down) he is not one of the best keepers in the world, im not saying that, but he is a hard worker and a good shot stopper.

Peter H Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 A great world cup in a struggling Sweden. Again, look at his ability to get down quickly. He is comfortable one on one.

We are bringing him in to offer an upgrade to Lossl and more serious competition for Jordan while we look for real high quality options that will in fact replace Pickford if he doesn’t improve significantly.

badaids Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Italian guy at work is a massive Cagliari fan, so I asked him about Olsen. He said that he did really well for them - just all round solid keeper and the fans wanted him to stay. However the covid and a lack of cash meant they club couldn’t make the transfer permanent. A good enough testimonial for me. nutmegwolf203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that’s true or not is not really the question for me. Just the act of bringing in a keeper and Pickford knowing it’s a reaction to his form is enough. It’s the last warning. Work hard, focus on your job, improve or this is gonna be your last season as our #1. The carrot is Carlo speaking about him with some level of confidence to the media. The stick is signing a keeper when we hadn’t planned to previously. Jordan’s real competition isn’t Olsen, it’s next summers transfer window and every keeper we might be in for then.

Bailey Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 For the people who think Olson is only here as back up and not a real contender, how many games will Carlo leave Pickford in for if he plays like he did at Brighton? He must seriously be testing Carlo's patience already? markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Surely Pickford is smart enough to have seen how Carlo and Brands have dealt with our under performing midfield. Ruthless and efficient transfers that have made our weakest department our strongest. In terms of of starting 11, we are looking strong everywhere but GK. He needs to respond or Carlo and Brands will strengthen. StevO and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
