Thetford Yellow 0 Posted January 27, 2016 It''s odd that we seem to be pursuing more attacking options this month. Goal scoring is not a problem - letting them in is. Only Sunderland have conceded more. Has it occurred to AN to chase a PL-ready keeper as I think at this stage in the season it is safe to conclude that neither Ruddy nor Rudd are up to the job.I await the usual dim-witted feedback from the clappers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooster 134 Posted January 27, 2016 Earlier in the month there were several press reports about Norwich enquiring about Steve Mandanda.So perhaps AN had considered addressing the position. I guess we''re not the most attractive prospect, being relatively unknown and close to the wrong end of the PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 5,246 Posted January 28, 2016 Read all about it...Read all about it...........Thetford Yellow in negative post shocker.So now Declan Rudd is firmly in his sights to have a pop about.Unfeckinbelievable ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted January 28, 2016 [quote user="Thetford Yellow"]I await the usual reasoned responses by those posters able to see two sides of an argument[/quote]Well, quite.I believe Mandanda is out of contract in the summer, and I believe him to be a better keeper than either Rudd or Ruddy. However, we would need to get Ruddy off the wage bill before we could bring Mandanda in. McNally will not let people go on the cheap – as we saw with BJ, Grabban and Hooper – so unless someone comes in with a decent offer for an out-of-form Ruddy, I can''t see anything happening on this front.

The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted January 28, 2016 Rudd needs time, and a good run of games. If he''s given it, I have no doubt he''ll make a very good Premier League ''keeper.This attitude is exactly why it''s so hard for young players to break into the first team. This instant results requirement. Rudd has only just established himself in the first team. Has generally done very well. After waiting patiently for his chance, it would be pretty harsh to drop him after just a handful of games, particularly when - in my eyes - he''s done little wrong. It would be a bit of a hit to his confidence and morale.Stick with Rudd. He''ll keep us up, and be a better player for the experience.I''ve even heard some people describe him as a young David De Gea. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
