Alex McCarthy has signed a new 2 year deal 17:13 - Jun 28 with 4728 viewsNYC_Saint

Looks like we won't be getting a new keeper then. I'm surprised we have made this decision but maybe it points to some pragmatism that we can't try and play for 70% possession in the Premier League.

smacks of desperation. He doesn't deserve a 2 year contract.

Also, as a free agent, in theory he could have done quite well wage wise as back up for a big team. The fact he hasn't suggests to me no one else was interested in him.

Sigh.

There are so many better goalkeepers out there that it's obvious nobody else would have been desperate enough to take him AND even pay him. BUT, nobody else is stuck with Bazunu.

I know he hasn’t been great for us in the past but he had a good season when called upon last time and looked more confident and assured. Things certainly improved when he took over from Bazunu.

Yes, I'll go with that. McCarthy was the difference between going up or staying down last season and blindfolded, encased in concrete and buried at sea, he is better than Bazunu. I would like a better keeper but he hasn't been too bad for us. Sell or shoot Gavin to save costs and get somebody in in January if we need one.

Matt Turner available from Forest apparently. Would have been a positive signing.

Nothing good will come of him being first choice
We need a better keeper

Really hoping for a better keeper.
Surely the recruitment team have taken into consideration that Mccarthy spent 90% of last season as the third choice keeper at a 4th placed Championship club.
Also we know his limitations from previous Prem seasons.
We are likely going to struggle and be under the cosh in many games.
A very good keeper could make a huge difference to our points tally by the end of the season.
Such an important position on the pitch for a club like ours..
Seemingly not seen that way by the powers to be.. Strange.

We are looking at bring in another keeper and I have heard that Kasper Schmeichel is being touted around St Mary’s at present as a possible.

I can’t believe there’s not a really good keeper in the Swedish or Danish league that we can get on the cheap on low wages.

We had been talking to Kasper Schmeichel but he has decided to join Celtic for European football rather than Premier football.
The search goes on but we will sign a keeper.

That shady charlatan Brendan Rodgers probably made noises to him about a potential coaching role.

You would think Schmeichel would have spent long enough with him at Leicester to realise his promises are empty.

The Bazunu fan club seems to have disappeared and whilst he did ok last season, we can ill afford to have him again in the PL . That said conceding goals like we did in those last four or so seasons isn’t just down to the keeper. There was far more belief when McCarthy came in at the end of last season and he did a great job. So its a bit of a mess, if we have given McCarthy a new contract, but are still looking for a new No 1

How about the keeper who was on holiday?
Is he back now? Is he signing?

Agreed , there was a video out showing all our goals and some were worse than I remembered. Even in the championship Bazunu saved Fvck all.

If true, that is terrible news which almost certainly condemns us to relegation. McCarthy will never leave because nobody else would take him.

Edit. No sooner had I posted this than Nick's article appeared above, saying that we are still in the hunt for a goalkeeper. There is still hope!

We should all have realised by now that what managers say and what they do is too completely different things, when you are chasing a player you don't want to sound desperate, you do not want to show chinks in your armour.

So when Russell Martin is asked if he is after a keeper he can say one of several things.

1. Yes I am desperate for a keeper, I am well aware of the limitations of the current keepers and if i don't get one we are f*cked.

2. I am happy with what we have, however if one of them were to leave and the right man came up we would consider it.

I know what reply I would like and I also know that neither reply probably actually means anything, Martin is covering all bases by saying number two and he is not upsetting the current keepers.
