Tim Howard

[neil999]

We spent 16m this window. What did they spend? If you don't think you could get better than Howard for that money Football isn't for you...

your guessing mate, more difficult in january

 

[steken1]

And if you think any club would sell their decent goalkeeper in the middle of the season, it's not for you either...

Most clubs would sell their ground if the price was right. 16m quid is far too much money for most clubs to refuse.

So can we close this thread now? The complaining about Howard can finally stop, right? You got what you want so the moaning can cease.


See you all over on the Joel Robles thread.

More difficult of course. By no means impossible.

 

[Khalekan]

bit of a coincidence after all this speculation and criticism, but then again it could errr just be a coincidence

My ol' granpappy done told me ŷears ago.....ain't no such thing as a coincidence.

There is though.


It's called a coincidence.

Martinez should have got a keeper in the window yet more rank bad management from el clown

Again, which keeper that moved (or was even available) in the Jan window should we have gone for?
as far as I know the only keeper of note to move in the last window was Valdes who was relegated from being Utd's fourth choice to 'will never playing for the Club' last Summer and was told that he wasn't allowed to go to another Premiership team.

Away and bash your Bobby elsewhere.

No they wouldn't.

I've had exactly the same argument before when somebody said we should bid £18m for Mahrez this window.

Money doesn't always talk. It depends on the situation of the selling club.

Name me one good goalkeeper who has moved clubs in January in say, the last 6 years?

There won't be many.

howard hasn't rejected a move to the MLS btw, if anything it's the opposite.

We would not allow him to move in Jan, especially last day of Jan, makes no sense to us.

Don't let common sense and reason get in the way of it mate...

If he wanted to give Robles a chance before deciding whether we needed a new number 2 or a new number 1 (I.e seeing if Joel is good enough to be first choice), then keeping Howard until the summer makes sense.

Then come the summer, sell the upside-down headed beaut, and get a 2nd keeper with the knowledge of Joel's ability and more time on our side.

Fingers crossed that's close to what's happening. However he could genuinely just be injured...

[Joey66]

Come on own up which Everton defender stood on his hand - as he never uses his hands to make many saves !
