Keeper necessity

Dario Terracotta · July 27, 2016

I thought our new keeper last night was excellent,looks an imposing figure,I'd have no worries if RK sits tight on that position at the minute,Robles as No:2 would be fine.

they've both played a friendly each this season, not really enough evidence for fans to have a concrete idea

Thought Stekelenberg looked fantastic personally.

Agreed. He was always a good keeper. Signing for Fulham was a mistake but in theory he's coming into his peak. I personally think he's much better than Howard and Joel. I'd still like a top quality No 1 of course but i think Stekelenberg will do a good job when called upon.

What impressed you Dario!
He had very little to do I would like to see him v a Prem team
If we could get Bergovic, and then let Robles out on loan ( not permanent) for him to get game time, and see if he is worth keeping pardon the pun!
Or will Koeman feel these two are adequate cover?

steklenburg should be our no2 at the moment, he was very imposing and solid last night

very different to robles who has talent but not solid and is more of a worry coming into the team

He made a couple of excellent saves Joey,came for crosses at the correct times,good decision making,good distribution,absolutely no chance with their goal,hopefully he'll get another test at the weekend.

GET BEGOVIC NOW FFS

Methinks we'll all learn significantly more about whether Joel or Stek can truly stake their claim for the starting role after the Dresden tournament.

Beginning to think we won't sign another keeper this summer...

Surely, we'd have brought a number one in by now and weren't waiting for Mr Walsh to spoon feed us all his targets.

Looking at baz's last option Timo Horn......... i noticed he is away with the germany squad for the olympics.
Could it be a case of we have this guy lined up to sign after the olympics and so big ron needed cover for the first few weeks of the season hence the reason he got Stekelenberg in?

Think Koeman has said he always likes to have 3 squad goalkeepers mate.
