Even if Krul leaves, spending millions on another young keeper makes no sense. Every year serviceable keepers move for free and this summer will be no different.

Agreed. Any money spent on a back up keeper to Gunn is money wasted from more vital areas of the team that need strengthening.

Krul wasn't in this week's training video was he? 🤔

Don;t think so. Sadly fact is much as I love him he has been rather error prone, he's getting on in age and most seem to think he's on some of our highest wages out of our players. I do fear his time here with us is almost up

Yes or it would suggest we've not got that much faith in Gunn. 

Overall its likely just baseless speculation.

I certainly don’t “fear” his time being up - he’s done pretty well for us but also done well out of us, it has gone both ways.  If he’s not good enough any more then it makes sense for us to seek better, Gunn was surely bought with an eye to Krul leaving.  Clearly you would hope the other keepers on our books would be up to being second choice, but of course you need some depth if injury hits.

And there it is, called it

Reckon he will head back to the Netherlands or stay here in England? Could easily become a regular number one at a lot of teams in the Eredivisie if he wished no doubt in my mind

Do wonder if Krul is off, and Mcgovern is getting on a bit.. Would he be happy jonining us to be second fiddle to Gunn though?

It’s hardly a Nostradamus moment, is it ~ I’m pretty sure when we signed Gunn that we all thought it was all-but certain we’d have one more season out of Krul and he’d then go Dutch.

Think this one makes sense, as much as I like Krul he’s getting on, reportedly on some of if not the highest wages, he’s made a fair few errors this season and we have someone in Gunn who we’ve spent a lot of money on as a replacement who has looked capable in his appearances.

It will be sad to see him go but he’s been a great servant and if he wants to move and a better club wants him, seems time is right for a move for both parties.

I’d be much more concerned if Hanley and/or Pukki leave. Pukki is absolutely vital and Hanley is the only other member of the squad who’s genuinely looked PL quality.

Good move for him, if it happens wish him well and hope Gunny can step up (I'm sure he can, not done much wrong so far)

[baldy09 156]

Krul seen in Sainsburys -there you have it -he's signing for the deli counter- warding of customers fighting for the cake.

[rock bus 851]

One of my concerns with bringing Gunn in for Krul is that he just doesn’t have the same level of command/presence  over the box or other players. With the additional potential loss of Hanley this could be a big issue for us. We need someone in the back 4 to be vocal and to instruct and organise the defence.

We paid a huge fee for Gunn. We're not in a position to spend that much on a keeper to sit on the bench. We could easily have got someone for nothing so we obviously had a long term plan. 

We paid 5 million

Sainsbury's closed all their deli counters along with their fish counters last year.

That’s criminal! Although I never use either or shop at Sainsbury’s, so I’m not the best judge

Yeah I work for them. It turns out everyone is outraged but also never used them. Typical British position.

Mirror suggesting we're one of a number of sides interested in Ayoub Assal of Wimbledon. 

As an aside I had no idea Mark Bowen is caretaker boss there.

I’m not sure if it’s a peculiarly British thing or just people, but we do seem to lament the loss of things we didn’t use and did nothing to maintain their existence.

I hear people all the time lamenting loss of bus routes, libraries, shops etc. and while in principal I agree then when you ask them it turns out they never used them.

Another winger? Wake me up when it's a midfielder or centreback

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,294]

Can't believe we haven't signed a DM yet. Ridiculous

Will fit in well here. Pinch of salt with the rumour but we should steer clear of signing players from relegated teams.

London clubs showing an interest as well. He may prefer to stay local 

[pete 318]

Bowen was interim manager at Wimbledon but released on relegation, gone to another club in non coaching role.

[HazzaJet 252]

I don’t think we need to sign any more wingers at the moment - I actually think we need to sell some. Need to look for a CB, DM, and CF

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,294]

Not a rumor or anything but what's the point in starting a new thread when this is here... 

 

Romaine sawyers has been released alongside Sam Johnstone from WBA... If Krul was leaving Johnstone would be a quality replacement but I'd guess he's heading to Fulham or the like. 

 

Sawyers, would he be worth a punt? Attacking midfield competition for Dowell.
