I don't know why you are tetchy with me....I was replying to @Moomin and having a bit of a laugh with him.

I don't even know what you posted.

BTW....I share your views on Joel and have been a staunch supporter on his own thread.

So it is quite obvious you don't "reciprocate" and follow your own advice about keeping up with "other poster's views".

Sorry, I thought I was replying to Moomin, who incidentally is splitting hairs in his latest post about my saying 'potential'. Robles played really
well for a long period of games for EFC and was still dropped by RM for a keeper who was in obvious decline. Robles took it on the chin and waited for a second chance. He again played well.

Robles blew his chance last season and so be it but Robles was a top squad player who did a good job, often a top job, and will move on. I hope he succeeds. If Moomin wants to have a laugh at my expense when I said that Robles was playing well enough having had 10 clean sheets on the trot
to play for Barca then he really wants to have a quick look at some of the poorish keepers who have played for Barca in the last few years.

Named in the 25 name squad so I guess he isn't going anywhere.

Niasse has been named in the 25.

What happened to all the Spanish clubs bidding for him??? Maybe the fax machine was out of ink???

Rumours have it that they forgot the +44.

Glad he is staying, good to have 3 goalkeepers available

...he was supposed to be going back to his old club but they have 'financial troubles'.

If thats Getafe, they still managed to sign 3 keepers this summer.

How have we managed to stay lumbered with this clown Robles?

Best save he ever made was by accident with his massive nose

 

[RFUS]

A much better 2nd choice than Stek.

Hes still better than Steklenburg though.. dont mind joel myself tbh. Should be 2nd choice

Joel had some high-profile calamitous moments but overall I've thought he's been a relatively competent keeper.

Pickfords injury must be worse than first feared then - as no faith in the Stek who has one good game in ten!

Or he is needed as Pickford is injured badly - the stek is reliable as ?????
