I blame Ashton... on 21:29 - Oct 26 by RadioOrwell | Lets also agree it wasn’t Ashtons fault. |
Theres some wonderful revisionism going on here. Lets just forget that there was a contract on the table for Hladky in January/February, Hladky himself said, "I don't know why it hasn't been signed yet" His agent, repeatedly tried to re-negotiate the contract, I suspect from a 1 year contract to a 2 year contract and thats why he went. Why on earth people think we would give a longer contract than 1 year to a 34 year old in a position that needed strengthening when we already had Walton and the extremely promising Slicker under contract is beyond me. |  |

I blame Ashton... on 10:34 - Oct 28 with 397 views | LegendofthePhoenix | The real issue isn't who's best out of Muric/Hladky or even Walton. It's are any of them good enough to be a really good PL keeper? And the answer to that seems to be no. Each of them has their strengths, but each also has weaknesses that mean they aren't quite the full package, and will be exposed as not adequate. Our squad has cost just over £100M, we probably needed to spend at least £20M to get a really good PL quality keeper. But we are where we are, we have to work with who we have, and try to work on the weaknesses with our coaching team. Maybe if we survive, its an area we can look at again next summer. |  |
