    He looks like a fat version of one of the coaches at my club.
    Not a good start.
    I'm holding onto,as it were,the last three letters of his surname.
    However given the reports above I expect the Ottoman translation of his name is ' teflon '.
    Wretched.

    Clubs who use agent driven recruitment are dinosaurs. Subject to obvious conflict of interest, dependent on 3rd parties and simply outsmarted by stats based recruitment.

    For me Roberts either should play or go back on loan, so a loan makes sense in some ways (I’d just play Roberts because we aren’t going up). But now we end up with 2 poor senior keepers blocking his path. And a chunk of our tiny transfer pot used for the summer. Madness.

    Need to be somewhat careful on how I frame what I say.

    But this story about the Turkish GK is somewhat accurate. But is not wanted by TC.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    Hahahaha. And there are people who still snipe and whine about those who are Pozzo outers.

    Bit like Tivic?

    Tom likes Bachmann so in 10 weeks or so he'll back in the team.

    TBH not sure the keeper should be a main priority.

    Rather a stirker or midfielder.

    Not good. So he TC is not getting backed then.

    I think too many people get hung up on what TC says about his own players personally.

    He is always going to back them - and probably bend the truth of what he actually thinks, in order to support/encourage them.

    I really don’t, and have never, believed that TC genuinely thinks Bachmann is the best GK in the division. You only have to read the other snippets of info when he says he’s having to learn to play with his feet etc to know that.

    There’s a reason that it’s widely felt the club were always going to move on from him in the summer. It’s far far easier to replace your GK in the summer as you can potentially take someone else’s No.1. Or get their quality backup. Both of those things are incredibly hard to get mid-season - and I think TC’s comments about Bond/Roberts essentially are saying as much.

    Same for Jebbison - he was always going to back him for every minute he was our player. But the reality was he was dropping him and not giving him minutes. TC knew he was going back and despite what is reported, we asked to send him back and Bournemouth agreed on the basis they could say they recalled him.

    My conclusion is that TC thinks Bachmann is the best keeper in the league.

    Edit: you beat me to it haha

    Burnsy doesn’t think that is true though .

    What’s aggressive distance mean? That’s his one big plus by looks of it.
     
  12. Burnsy

    That he currently plays for a team an aggressive distance from Watford.

    How high up the pitch they make passes etc, so by the looks of the data he's more of a sweeper keeper than sticking in his 6-yard area

    Anyway - sounds like a bit of a chaotic keeper with some "moments".

    But he's backup to the Turkish #1 so never getting a look-in at Besiktas. You're not going to get a #1 keeper in January, always a #2 or #3. All of our loans have been reported as Mandatory Purchase but they never are.
     
  15. EB Hornet

    A sweeper keeper could be handy then as TC would like to play an aggressive defence, although he also wants a bit more speed at the back to make this happen (I believe that’s what he’s said before)

    Carpster Squad Player

    Never heard of him, never seen him play.
    I understand you're a busy man but could you do one of these for Sam Tickle at Wigan? I personally like what I've seen which is only sporadic I may add. But the write ups he receives are top notch.

    Only have the last 2 seasons worth (well aside from 1 game in 22/23) - but those 2 seasons are below!

    Remember when we signed Almunia and then even better , Gomes.
    Got to be a quality EPL keeper who is on his way down that we can sign

    Maybe if Everton go down this season (unlikely I know) then we might have an even more unlikely chance of snagging Pickford? :)

    Agreed. Can’t keep, won’t keep.
