BigWalrus 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Harper is earning a good £1m a season, easily. Canny wedge for 3 or 4 games a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 He's Irish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sorry, I should elaborate. He's said he'd love to play for Ireland years ago what at Charlton. Papers over here have been full of talk of Trap being very impressed with his performances and looking at calling him up. It's been a problem position for us since Given retired. One of our other alternatives isn't close to getting a look in at the Mackems at the minute, so Elliott and Randolph(Motherwell*) are our only keepers playing too flight football. *shit league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Ah right! I thought he was English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Eligible for either. He's mentioned it on twitter a few times. He seems a lovely, simple chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Is it a Tony Cascarino 'my Grandad once spent a weekend in Dublin' esque situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Which Ireland is this? Could put the Celtic fans in a right situation if he is playing for the country they love and their hero is getting called up for the country they hate The Elliot/Forster head to head would at least be more interesting than their usual patter I suppose.

Barney 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Properly eligible. Has played at u18's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hasn't Given come out of retirement? Possibly. Wasn't sure if he had offered or it was paper talk. Still not playing 1st team footy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincepie 0 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 He has done quite well and is a much better than Harper is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 His handling is a bit shite, or at least his confidence when it comes handle the ball instead of just pushing it away for a corner. Not the most agile one either. His strengths are distrubition, and being able to do good kicks with both feet in stressed situations, that's canny.

aimaad22 3619 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Eh? I think he's been pretty spot on with handling most of the time. Would be happy to give him a go as a first choice keeper if we didnnt have Krul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He did well with the low shoot indeed, but in general Tim Krul does look twice the player in when it comes to the physical side. Tim Krul can also catch a ball and hold it tight even if it's ever so hard a shot, Elliot seems to safe it by punching it over the bar or to the side creating corners. Put that aside, he's been reliable back-up so far, but he has also been lucky having Taylor, Colo and Yanga-Mbiwa making his job easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He's a good back up keeper but he wont be pushing a fit Tim Krul for a place - not close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Should be fine today - given he's from the lower leagues it means he'll be well familiar with Stoke's tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Looked a bit closer on the replay of the Boussoufa free-kick, he actually saved that fucker on its way in!!!!!! Anji should had won the game, but Rob didn't let them. :D Top keeper! Edited March 15, 2013 by Aeris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame could see you greeting a future boyfriend as he first disrobes and you look him up and down and just say "aye canny". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
