Think you’re being kind there.

Snowflake Royal Hmmm, not convinced by that argument.
Recent keeper acquisitions being
Cabral - good
Virginia (loan) - shit
Martinez (loan) - great
Walker - mediocre
Jaakkola - mediocre
Mannone - mediocre
Bond - not great
Al-Habsi - great
We're making a bit of a ham fist of it.

Hendo Anssi was probably the right ‘keeper at the wrong time. Good shot stopper, but pretty poor with the ball at his feet, which is what the manager was looking for.

Snowflake RoyalNotts Royal Good keeper but not amazing...would probably put him in the same bracket as Federici & Al-Habsi, but not as good as Hislop, Hahnemann, McCarthy or Martinez.
Wouldn’t be crying if we lost him, like some of the Twitter kids, but also would be happy seeing him line up for us
Similar but I'd say Al-Habsi is ahead, whereas McCarthy isn't.

Without wanting to bring the Federici v McCarthy argument back up lol, I thought McCarthy was brilliant in that play off spell, and then outstanding in some of the prem games, that Liverpool game was something else. Very solid in the Adkins Champ season but others thought he was average. Has gone on to have a decent career in the Prem. Federici was perhaps a better fit for the team though, there must’ve been a reason why Brian selected him more often.
Cabral is good, but not convinced he’s up there with the best in the division. Birmingham have just signed Etheridge from Cardiff which is a brilliant signing. Not sure why Cardiff sold him...was he injured last season?

From Despair To Where? To be fair to Mannone, if he was on half the wage, I don't anywhere near as many people would have had an issue with him, but of you're in top money you need to put in top performances more often than not.

Yeah that pretty much. If he was a free/ average wages I’d think back on him a lot more fondly

3points Can’t believe Arsenal are looking to bid £10m for David Rays from Brentford. From what I’ve seen, Rafael is just as good, if not better.
FWIW Martinez is almost certain to be in the Championship next season unless he’s negotiated a relegation clause

Unpopular opinion but Al Habsi was criminally over rated. Made some great looking saves, mainly due to spilling a cross, being out of position, or just pushing it away when he should've held it.
Shaka
Martinez
Marcus
McCarthy
Federici
Rafael
Al Habsi
