Renskay 36 Posted July 3, 2019 Don't mean to be too negative on our boy Rocky right off the bat - but during my 5 minute long reconnaissance mission to find out who he is, I found this video of him with the Belgian u21s team from last week and his efforts for the goals are a bit shaky. Â Belgium U21s vs Italy U21s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Belgium U21s vs Italy U21s Hmm... No hiding it. Yes he was! But it looks as though Belgium were under a lot of pressure for the majority of the match and, well, we haven't signed him for the first team. However, great goal for Belgium by Verschaeren. Maybe we should get him! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renskay 36 Posted July 3, 2019 He just seemed so out of position for all the goals. Very odd. The belgian goal was a banger for sure though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted July 3, 2019 If we do end up signing Fahrmann, his song's got to be a rework of David Bowie's Starman "There's a starman waiting in the skyHe'd like to come and meet usBut he thinks he'd blow our mindsThere's a starman waiting in the skyHe's told us not to blow itCause he knows it's all worthwhile" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have been one of the great football anthems in general. From the awesome and evergreen Todd Rundgren's Just One Victory. Somehow, someday, we need just one victory and we're on our way, Prayin for it all day and fighting for it all night, give us just one victory, it will be all right.

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Looks like if it's going to happen it will be imminent and also a loan. That's probably about as good as it could get. Links up with the squad before Germany, gets a full pre season schedule, and if he has indeed started his decline we're not up sh**s creek without a paddle, financially speaking. Excited for this one. Edited July 3, 2019 by Redders Right Foot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted July 3, 2019 Can't imagine we'd sign a loan goalkeeper to play second fiddle. Which kind of begs the question - how would Krul react to being ousted between the sticks by a loan player? Presumably the club would have told him he's being demoted to No.2 before he signed a new contract last month... if not then I'd think he's going to be a bit put out.

Signing a new contract increases his value Wolfo. If Fahrmann is a success and moves here permanently then we've got two very experienced keepers on our books, that's a good thing.

All I'm saying is that I hope Krul was told before he signed his new contract that he's not going to be first choice, and signed it on that understanding.

Orly 277 Posted July 3, 2019 Has this already been posted?   Apologies if so. If you skip to the last 20 or so saves, he looks bloody good. Really quick feet too, so can see why Farke would be after him. Will certainly give Krul a run for his money.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he wasn't promised anything other than a good wage and an equal chance at the No1 shirt, i agree that as a senior pro, he should have at least had a chat with DF about the future. If not, then yes it's not the best man management. I think , deep down all pros know they are guaranteed nowt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Third choice is generally an experienced player who chips in with coaching.  2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
