CaptnCanary 0 Posted August 13, 2009 I certainly did. I thought with a permanently signed keeper we would go with him and the young lads we had all ready got as backup - being on a tight budget and all. Does anyone think that doubts had arisen about the ability of Theoklitos prior to signing Alnwick on loan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 490 Posted August 13, 2009 More likely that he felt the youngsters'' performances in Scotland indicated they weren''t quite ready to be the number 2 keeper on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted August 13, 2009 At the time my gut feeling was that they probably weren''t 100% convinced by Theo.But then it could have just been them wanting more experienced cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimidack 0 Posted August 13, 2009 I did find it a little odd when Alnwick started on tuesday, because now he is cup tied for the rest of the competition if/when he goes back to spurs in 3 months.Maybe he will come in on loan if Theo does prove to be kinda rubbish.

ref89 0 Posted August 13, 2009 You come on here being sensible? No way. Gunn realised what a blithering idiot he was and in desperation dragged Alnwick in. It just goes to prove how incompetent he is. Sack him! Hang him!

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted August 13, 2009 City need to get off to a good start this season, so they may have thought that if Kojack got injured they should have an experienced goalkeeper in reserve as it would be a big ask for 18 year old Rudd to play regularly for the first team.

Unhinged Canary 375 Posted August 13, 2009 The only thing I found really curious was when he was included in the squad photo. I know he is technically a member of the squad, but for only 3 months. Yet the team photo is supposedly the ''years'' team. So I expected Theo, Rudd and Steer to be in it. Probably reading too much into it, but I thought to myself, "Will he be here longer?".........

Maybe we are lining up a season long loan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
