Tooj 17 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 For the money Krul will cost, who is going to buy him? The only "top" team in the league who will need a new keeper is Spurs, and I can't see them spending that sort of money on a keeper. Anyone?

PaddockLad 14667 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 What if we'd paid the asking price for this Douglas gadge? We could looking at an extra 10million big ones to off set the outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 How do you know it is that high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14667 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think thats the generally accepted amount that the'd be on if we finished 4th and got through the qualiifer. Which is huge compared with what the EL brings in. Which is probably why Spurs seemingly couldnt be arsed with it this season. The financial return doesnt outweigh the disruption to the season.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3230 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think Krul is going in the summer my basis for this is Celtic have been told Fraser Foster is definitely not for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4242 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think Krul is going in the summer my basis for this is Celtic have been told Fraser Foster is definitely not for sale. our only other keepers are Harper and Elliot just because we want a decent competitor doesn't mean hes leaving especially since we're now expecting to have more games next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) What if we'd paid the asking price for this Douglas gadge? We could looking at an extra 10million big ones to off set the outlay. He doesn't want to move until he's done his 5 years in Holland so he can play for the national team. Edited April 16, 2012 by Baggio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2188 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I do aye. Not easily mind, but I think it would be easier to replace Tiote with a like for like than it would be Krul. I want to keep all our best players but i think of the big saleable assets, Tiote would be the one we could replace best with a bit of luck. Krul is heading into the bracket of the very best keepers out there and that is worth so many points and i don't think we could attract another keeper of that calibre ahead of proven CL clubs etc. so losing Krul is pretty much top of the list to avoid for me. Also i don't think replacing BA will be easy at all as some people think, if we remember quite how amazing he's been this season and carried most of our goal threat on his own for some time. With the clause we wouldn't get big money for him and we'd be very lucky to get somebody close to him without a seriously big spend. I agree with all of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Krul's been here since he was 16 & practically speaks with a Geordie accent I can't imagine him being too desperate to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point still stands though, invest in a centre back in January and we wouldve given ourselves an even better chance of getting into the champions league. Give Pardew the tools to do the job. And as I said, you may well have got the money back with interest if we got through the qualifier. The standard has gone down a bit in the champions league iyam, that Marseille side were ordinary this season and they got to the quarter finals. What does that stage bring in in finance?....

Baggio 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I do wonder if stuff like this is being thrown about now to disrupt our players during the run in. I was reading an article last week and it had quotes from someone on the board at Chelsea who was honest enough to come out and say that it is more important for them to come in the top 4 and qualify for the CL next year than beat Barcelona in the semis, that tells you how much they rely on the money the competition produces, without it and the new financial rules they are going to be pretty fucked and I don't see a mad spending spree on the cards. It's probably already been mentioned that they've got a great young keeper on loan at Atletico Madrid who has apparently been attracting interest from Real so it wouldn't make sense to go for Krul, since Cech isn't that bad anyway.

You're completely wrong about cech. That helmet unbalances him and puts a lot of strain on his neck. They want Tiote for a neck transplant.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 No top clubs are in need of a keeper this summer, and certainly wont be willing to spend the money needed to get Krul, so he wont be leaving.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Will they be willing to spend the £15+ million needed to get him, especially if they dont make Champions League and they need other positions strengthened before they get a keeper in? Plus I'm not sure If Krul would be that eager to jump ship to Spurs, especially if we have a decent summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Spurs might need a keeper. so still no top clubs need a keeper If they're in the Champions League again, and hang onto Modric & Bale you'd have to consider them a top club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Friedel is a very good keeper and doesn't seem like he's about to retire anytime soon. Krul's still very young so he has a whole career ahead of him, I doubt he'll go anywhere for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I'm not sure If Krul would be that eager to jump ship to Spurs, especially if we have a decent summer Modric will be away, most likely to Chelsea Not sure if Adebayor will stay, City may demand a permanent transfer Friedel is old but hasn't cost them any points due to his age, yet I wouldn't be surprised if Bale goes I reckon their funds are going to be allocated towards replacing Modric, Bale and getting a striker.
