Not for nothing but Meara was awesome in that game despite that gaffe in the box. He kept us in the game with the chance to potentially get a point if we convert any of our 2H chances (Mix's off the bar comes to mind).
Blues Again Pursuing Spanish Gk, Iker Casillas
- Thread starter Gotham Gator
- Start date
His precipitous drop in form over the last few seasons is what concerns me. Not because I don't think he could still be an upgrade over Josh. But because we likely would be overpaying for appeal not equivalent to value, when we could likely find better or comparable value at a better price. The sums saved could be useful for better appropriation.
Gosh, what the fck is that defense????
What a difference a new coach makes to talent evaluation.
Really, it's the the possibility of you chilling around your house donning elbow-length rubber gloves and a flared-out mask that's most amusing.If we sell Poku before winning 5 consecutive MLS cups, I'm going to be like that xmen cartoon meme of Wolverine holding Jean's picture.
Ian Joy (God bless his heart), also said that Pirlo WOULD NEVER happen - we received confirmation he was signing 72 hours later.

By signing Iker though, we'd seriously increase our worldwide women fan-base.
And would finally have the same situation as MCFC have: signing the defensive spanish-speaking players for any money - the more expensive the better - and it doesn't matter how do they play or if we could spend the money ways better.

You mean we need a 3rd gk or you say that we should sign Meara and play him above Saunders?
Meara is a better keeper than Saunders. And he's younger. It's ridiculous that he is judged by one play against Chicago. Saunders is not great, I don't understand his deification by this fanbase.
I would rate him a 60 (using FIFA metrics) but even then I give him tons of credit. That dude was bombarded at times and he stood his ground. The defense was holding the door open for opposing strikers to shoot on a regular basis and Saunders constantly stood on his head deflecting shots....
I don't care if he stays or goes, but he did a great job relative to his "talent" and our defense
Dude, I know you like MCFC. But even given that, this is your worst post ever because you defend us having a player incapable of doing things that are the bare professional minimum for his position. Not okay.
And I'll just leave this here. #youdecide
Rarely see a goalkeeper practice the matador #ole technique.
I think Saunders is the worst keeper in the league. He makes me sick to watch him. He gets credit for people kicking the ball right at him, mostly because his positioning is so poor, he shocks the attacker into kicking it right at him.
He's bad, guys. He cost us as damn near many as he saved. the fact that it's arguable alone is enough to say he's next on the chopping block.
I will buy into splitting the blame solely based on my Grabavoy sentiments.
I'm not saying he's a technical genius and the best keeper ever, and I already said he's let in some howlers. My main point is that he's a decent keeper and I'd love to seem him play with a really good defense in front of him. I would not cry about an upgrade though, although I think defenders should be our first priority.
Not sure what my being a Man City fan has to do with it, although I did see the England #1 keeper Joe Hart distribute one into the stands just yesterday. Hey, wait, maybe that's what you're talking about.
That's a better interpretation than I intended, since I was just doing a bit of sky blue trolling. You think you've got it bad, I have to watch Saunders and Mignolet.
There, that reads better.
Ugh. Don't get me started. Wrong thread for me to spray the verbal vomit I'm choking back after the results of late.
