| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive 12:04 - Jun 25 with 12185 views | itfcjoe | A friend put his interview in Czech through subtitle generator, then translator so it;s not easy to read but you can get the gist of it: Nothing signed, due back on Monday, has to weight up options, KM wants him to stay and surprised at how powers that be have negotiated with his agent. But he'll have to sit down with wife and weigh up offer etc It's Monday the 24th. June, that means in 6 days, at least according to to the Transformarkt server, your contract ends, you will be out of a job. Is it true? It's true, I'm already finding out the address of the employment office here in Brno and I'm on my toes. 1. In July, as they say, preparation begins in earnest England, but you don't know if you will be part of it. I don't know, I don't know. and I don't even know when I'll know. No, I think that such a deadline is real on the 36th, when my contract ends and that's it I think Saturday, if I'm not mistaken, and actually Monday we are starting training, so it's like it blends nicely, or builds on each other, and I think that within this week I should know 100% if it will be Ipsilic, or if it will be something else. I'm from VNM, but I've had a successful season, I think if I have such and such a value, I would like to scrolled here and here, I like such and such countries choose from this or is it that simple? I think that there are several such strategies and each person, each player is actually completely different. Just like you said, everyone has a preference another country, another rating, etc. If I took it specifically as myself, then we've had it since... What we started dealing with Ipswich o new contract in January, that's it given clearly that we preferred Ipsvitch that I want to stay in Ipswich, I want to extend. And at this moment the situation is a little she changed because the negotiations are tough. and not exactly how we expected it to play out. So at this moment we have that strategy set up so that any offer will land on us table, so we'll sit down for a few days and evaluate you have practically everything for and against. And it's not like... and I would prefer this or that destination or league. It really is that whatever comes, so we just sit down and on the one hand with the managers and on the one hand, my wife and I will evaluate it. So you are a little surprised that the votes from the party The Ipswich ones are a little different now than the ones you had maybe they were hinted at after the season ended. You probably had a one-to-one with a manager who you did he say outright if he counts on you or not? Even the 10. In June, when I was there in person, I am with the manager lined up and we explained for a long time how we see it, how he sees the following season as he sees my role, but the result of it is that he wants me to continue at 100%. And he was a little surprised how the club. he conducts the negotiations with my manager, so he too he took, or rather told me he would talk about it with the management and will actually clarify the things from which circumstances should I continue and so on. So let's see, I would divide it into two halves. We and the coaching staff are united and that's it but in fact we still can't find common ground with the club. |  |

| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive on 13:38 - Jun 25 by tractorboy1978 | Not saying clubs won't be interested in him but I'd just be very surprised if top end Championship clubs go all out to sign him. Of course, the alternative view is that at 33 years old he had the massive outlier season of his career. We will see I guess. |
He's clearly better than most with his feet, I don't see that as being something that will diminish next season. He played outfield for the Czech Republic at youth level, which is testament to his ability on the ball. He's a low risk signing, hes not old in GK terms, and is on a free transfer.

| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive on 13:57 - Jun 25 with 2707 views | ElephantintheRoom | I can answer that one for you. There is a big pot of $ for incoming mercenaries. A small pot for unwanted players being eased out of the revolving door - and a medium sized pot for players they’d like to keep. McKenna’s greed and opportunism has made a huge dent In that careful planning - and there’s nothing much left for a goalie who has spent most of his time here being ignored by managers and supporters before reinventing himself to a startling degree last season An indication perhaps that the sense of togetherness that propelled the club upwards has gone…. |  |

He's a very decent keeper, but his feet are the weakest part of his game. He's also not error free (something Hladky detractors seem to think will be solved by any new keeper) - he failed to keep out Chappers 2nd at portman road when he should have done better. Good age to develop tho. |  | |  |

Martyn Margetson, the Swansea and England goalkeeping coach, has no doubts about the career path of Rushworth. “Carl has a lot of strengths,” Margetson says. “His in-possession game and technical goalkeeping are strong. It’s difficult to pick just one strength, but he is also a strong character mentally. He has all the attributes to be a top Premier League goalkeeper. “He can be an international goalkeeper, no doubt about it. He has the mindset and mentality to his work and I find him really coachable. It is his ambition to play in the Premier League and play at international level. He will reach the highest level.” |  |

| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive on 13:01 - Jun 25 by Marshalls_Mullet | I wonder if it depends on whether we have another keeper lined up, and we are offering Hladky a No2 contract. He would have a lot of suitors in the top end of the Championship that would given him a big signing on fee, and a decent wage. |
Disagree imo. He's good with his feet but isn't a good enough shout stopper and can't command his box. |  |

Happy to agree to differ. He has just played a pivotal role in a promotion winning team lets not forget, and is available on a free. A very compelling signing. |  |

He is not good enough for Premier league and the fact that he hasn't signed the contract shows that it was not a great contract offer based on what other higher powers obviously feel about him too. We got away with it due to our possession stats against most teams and conceding not too many shots against, however a big percentage of those shots against actually lead to goals with a ton i thought a good keeper would save. We will be having far less possession this time round and farm more shots against us or which i would not be comfortable in knowing would be against Hladky. He's has done us proud but is not good enough for me in the Premier league. |  | |  |

| Reporter on TalkSport… on 13:12 - Jun 25 by Marshalls_Mullet | Whats Rushworth like? I assume he has a reputation as being good with his feet? Bit of a gamble as a No1? |
Playing with a Rush goalie will always be a bit of a gamble. |  |

| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive on 14:37 - Jun 25 with 2443 views | itfcjoe | I would be keeping Hladky for sure, and adding another keeper to the roster. Hladky was superb for us, and we know will push any new signing really hard and be able to step in if new keeper doesn't cut it. People really underrate Hladky and just focus on his errors, we played such an attacking style of football that we left our defence and GK exposed a lot and they bailed us out so many times. You won't find a keeper as good with his feet, and if you do, and they are a top quality box commanding etc then they will cost £30m. Spoke to a Swansea mate re Rushworth and this is what he said: Mate he was unbelievable for us. Completely deserved to win our player of the year. He's a really good shot stopper & commands his area really well, good at coming for crosses & all that. Distribution probably his weakest attribute but it's not something he struggled with, just not a strength of his He did chuck a couple of howlers in, he's not perfect by any stretch but a very promising young goalie who improved as the year went on. I think working with Martyn Margetson helped him massively |  |

Your criticism that McKenna's greed and opportunism has dented Hladky's ability to seek the same is a rather glaring contradiction is it not? |  | |  |

On Hladky not commanding his box I think there may have been a deliberate tactical choice that he doesn't come for stuff unless he has to/it's really easy. On anything marginal Burgess has been so good in the air and is the one who does most of the vocal command of the defence that I think he just takes the decision away from Hladky. Of course it would be great if he was better at it but like you say he'd be worth a lot more if he was! |  |

Thats what crazes my tits. A keeper makes an error and more often than not it results in a chance / goal so is amplified. He made some superb stops last season and won us plenty of points without which we would not be having this discussion as would still be in the championship. Just 2 off the top of my head Sunderland away and Middlesbrough at home, gained us 4 points right there. Yes he made a few howlers but not sure any of them cost us a game. How many sitters did strikers, midfielders miss, wrong decisions made at crucial parts of a build up. Give the guy a break ffs. |  | |  |

| Hladky news doesn't sound too positive on 15:15 - Jun 25 with 2243 views | RobTheMonk | Hladky Strengths - Very good with his feet. Approaching world class for a goalkeeper. Excellent at reaction stops. Excellent at one on ones. Hladky Weaknesses - Can be a bit flappy on crosses which includes his communication which sometimes looks questionable. His body positioning for shots can occasionally be a little off. I think he's earned his chance to have a crack at the Prem after that season in the Champ. You just make sure he's protected on crosses and corners. Over the course of the season, his positive contribution far, far, far outweighed the odd flap or mistake. |  | |  |

Yes, he's very highly regarded not just over here but at his host club and in general. It sounded like he wasn't too far off a call up to the Euros at one point when injuries where stacking up. He could be our next Richard Wright. His issues playing out from the back could well have a lot to do with how poor Swansea are too. Maybe he'd be very different and gain confidence there with better drilled and more technically proficient defenders around him. |  |

We lost to Norwich and drew with Hull, both of which featured Hladky errors. By my reckoning he gained us points in the first half of the season but there were as many minuses as pluses this year so a net gain for the season. I think he'll struggle with the higher standards in the prem though. He made some good saves from chances that he was responsible for last season, this year he's unlikely to get away with that. |  | |  |
