Robin Roefs 🇳🇱 compendium


Patterson and Roefs will have plenty of practice this season between the sticks. It will be healthy to have competition for both of them.

Not sure Patterson can have much to feel wronged about, he's had a pretty much unchallenged run as no 1 for 3.5 seasons without the club looking to bring in either an upgrade or serious competition.

And he hasn't really pushed on in my opinion, he has weaknesses that he hasn't attempted to change
 
Let's get Roofied!

Looks a good prospect, they must be confident he can step right up to the plate. Good price as well if he does.

We have no concrete information that says this.
That's just an assumption based on his fee.

For all we know he may be our third choice?

When we signed Reinildo on a free it wasn't a sign we were out of money.

Let's judge our overall transfer budget at the end of the window.

literally the second line of my comment.

On your other points - obviously I don’t know, and I’m not pretending otherwise.

But earlier we were targeting top keepers from Europe and now, post about five signings (?), we’ve landed a seemingly smart signing that’s undoubtedly data led but he is still an unproven keeper for half the fee we tried to get Bulka for.

That’s not the criticism people seem to think it is…

It’s just an observation that we have a certain budget and we’ve been spending as if we didn’t. This, to me, is the first sign we’re prioritising where we’re spending the money now. The fact I don’t know, is why I’m looking for signs of that.

Of course he can't be upset. I like him, his save at Wembley got us here and deserves huge respect, but let's be honest he wasn't even one of the best keepers in the Championship and usually you need to look exceptional there to make the grade to the Prem at a newly promoted team that will be under fire most of the season. He could stay and fight for his place, nothing wrong with that.

If you believe that, his distribution is worse than Patterson’s

Not really, that's just the average length of his kicks, their styles may have been different and he was instructed not to kick it as long. Patto just used to bray it out of play 😅

Completely disagree.

Bulka and petrovic are a level of keeper that there aren’t many available for, so they’re priority number one.

If you can’t get those you get someone who’s not far behind in ability with loads of potential and cheaper

It doesn’t mean we have less money it means we’re being smart

100% this. He’s had the time to work on his weaknesses and they just haven’t improved. I reckon he will be off, can’t see him getting Antony to fight for his spot if say a Southampton offer him the number one spot.
