Hafnia Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 There’s deffo a reason for keepers to stay fit in later years. Didn’t Richard weight earn a fortune from this sort of gig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 in a 5 year career at Leicester he's played 2 games! prior to that he was at Hull for 5 years, loaning him out to Leyton Orient for a season where even they only used him for 13 games! He played for Hull 38 times. Must be amazing to be a serial 3rd choice goalkeeper, get paid to keep fit at a top football club and hone your goalkeeping skills then get a decent free ticket to the match every week! He did score a goal for Grasshoppers once so he could always go up front if Maupay and DCL aren't fit!  Hafnia and MikeO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 This sort of signing makes my bafflement with our obsession for signing so many young keepers increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'd agree, i'm pretty non plussed about signing another keeper who won't play and i'm sure he won't be on huge wages but given he's not exactly stacked with top experience surely one of the current young keepers can be up to the job of sitting on the bench in reserve for the couple of games that Begovic will play. plaidharper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah never understood the lack of faith in the young goalkeepers. It is a very very rare chance that they would ever play and sitting on the bench would mean the world to them. Top two choices would have to be out and if so I'd imagine it would only be a game or two. Not often that both of your top two options are injured long term and if they were, that would be the time to bring in an emergency keeper.  Deal is short so hopefully won't be around long. Speaking of deals, wonder if we have offered a new one to Begovic?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be ace for keepers who have had a top career already to actually end up at a level higher than they ever actually achieved in their twilight years. Carson and Wright (Weight sorry!) have been parts of elite squads competing for the top honours albeit in the background - Lonergan was part of a squad (I forget who) who had similar success too. I can see why clubs do it - not just as an emergency option but as much for training sessions and counselling/coaching for such a unique position.

MikeO Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Four different Everton 'keepers are goalscorers now (though only one while playing for us); this guy, Lonergan, Begović and Howard. Sensing a pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof_It_Nev Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Christ is Longeran injured too? Is this guy going to be thrown in at the deep end? Squeaky bum time every time Begovic comes for the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
