He comes to Norwich City and finds his way into the team impeded by Tim Krul. He now faces the prospect of returning to Schalke and finding his way into the team impeded by ... Tim Krul. Would love him to stay, but wouldn't begrudge him a move to a side with European football. The pink Un podcasters were all discussing whether Sheffield United might be interested were Dean Henderson to move back to Man Utd. That's a good shout too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chumino 57 Posted March 9, 2020 I think he's been our only consistent PL standard player. As such he has definitely attracted attention. Big loss to Norwich if he goes. Should do everything we can to keep him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing in a strong defence he may not get to do so much. We are keeping him well tuned for his national team , in fact Holland should stump up a pay rise to keep him here, if only football worked so benevolently. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted March 9, 2020 When I heard about us signing him as a free agent last season I was season I was very pleased - a goalkeeper with good Premier League experience. I hope we don’t lose him though as I don’t think we will be able to find a good enough replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted March 9, 2020 Anyone remember how long a contract he's on ? Pretty sure all our first team regulars are on fairly long contracts so we can get a decent fee if he does go. But it's true, he's been magnificent and his PL experience is also a massive help, he'd be very hard to replace even with money to spend.

sgncfc 1,227 Posted March 11, 2020 £2m for a 31 year old PL keeper in his prime, with an international recall? I suspect there would be hundreds of clubs willing to pay that - at least put a nought on the end. I'd be happy with £20m for Krul if we then get Butland for £15m as rumoured.

I suppose. I guess it's easy to forget just how young he is, and Chelsea were allegedly sniffing round him post-Courtois. But his form, stock, confidence and transfer value have all plummeted since then. I wouldn't want to pay an exorbitant amount of money for him, especially if we only get pittance for Krul, who is a superior goalkeeper at this moment in time.

Lazza 25 Posted March 11, 2020 I can't see Krul going anywhere. Norwich resurrected his career when it had come to a grinding halt (mostly due to a some serious injuries) and he clearly loves it here. He plays with the sort of passion you can only have when you really believe in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking forward to seeing Gilmour in midfield next season (whatever league we are in). Seems a regular starter for Telstar. Our youth policy is like a production line which is always something to look forward to.....You get a new player and it's a bit like a new signing.

Nuff Said 5,121 Posted March 11, 2020 I seem to remember someone I trust on here (probably BYG) saying we were probably going to get shot of Oxborough as he wasn’t up to the standard we look for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
