Mignolet set to return

Gordon is no way the complete keeper. Notice, what ever else was wrong, his positioning for the first goal last week was poor, he moved and stopped once again leaving plenty of open space. The second one was also a keeper's ball but he doesn't do it in those very postions.
:oops:

This thread was about discussing our number one returning against Fulham, other posters decided to turn it into a Mignolet bashing.

Not when you're only text is " Poor Craig ", cun.t bag.

If Gordon had been so good there wouldn't be so much controversy about him. He does not command his box and he doesn't get off his line quickly enough. Ok, he's a shot stopper but he lets in too many softies in other situations, cross shots are also of one his glaring weaknesses, remember the one against the mags at the sol a couple of years ago from way out on the left. One of many. I don't care who plays in goal but I accept that Gordon has his weaknesses and he lets in soft goals.



He moves off his line much quicker and he polices the six yard area better.
:oops::oops:
 
He is. Much better.

One of the funniest things I see people say is about the famous 'shot stopping'. EVERY goalkeeper should be a good 'shot stopper', they wouldn't be playing professional football if they weren't.

The only area Gordon can claim to be better in is distribution.
:oops::oops:
 
Free transfer for Gordon in the summer it is then.

I hope he does go. He's too good for some of the morons on here. We won't get another keeper as good as him for a good few years when he goes.

I wouldn't even bother putting KW on the bench.

Let MON decide, if he does let him go will he be a 'moron' too?
 
Good, I don't care how long Gordon has been out of action he should have prevented Davies 2nd goal on Saturday, should have came of his line and took the ball but instead he stands on his line like a tin of milk and gives his defender a "that was your fault" look.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: idiot

MON likes Gordon. He's thinking about wages and what not. The idiots on this thread slating Gordon are the morons.

Im sure he is thinking about winning games and what not first and foremost. Tough call between Mig and Gordon but neither wants to be in the reserves, I would suggest Gordon will be gone by August regardless of whether people like him or not.

But he is thinking about the contracts, as he stated in that article. He's not keen on Westwood, but he's a recent signing, has a few years left and won't be easy to shift.

Not really followed the Westwood story. Whats he done wrong behind the scenes?

Mig out with a broken face. Westwood has flu. Larsson also has flu. Westwood refuses to play, so Mignolet does whislt injured, and Larsson also plays.
 
If Gordon takes a 10-15 grand pay cut then he might be signed up...thats if hes on 40 grand a week of course..
 
If Gordon is still here next season then he WILL be No. 1 there is no doubt about it.

He is the much better keeper out of the 2, maybe harsh on Mig cos he hasn't really done owt wrong but thats just the way it is.
 
Gordon is 30 this year and Mignolet is just 23. He has alot of years on him to develop.

That's my overriding feeling when trying to separate the two. People forget Mignolet is still a young lad learning his trade, and will get better with time. I'm not convinced Gordon will get any better and he's shown in the past that despite being fairly solid, he struggles to avoid daft injuries.

Daft injuries?

He was played when not fit by Keane, put him out for months.
He had his arm broken by Defoe, put out for months.
He had the plate removed, arm broken again put him out for months.
He had tendinitis in his knee and was played when unfit putting him out for a year.

I'd say he has been badly managed more than anything.

People bang on about him being 'injury prone', yet he has had just 4 injuries in his time here, it's just unlucky that they seem to be serious when he gets them. Players like Mensah are injury prone. Brown, O'Shea and Richardson have missed numerous games this season, should we ship them for being injury prone?

Yes Mignolet is only 23, and yes he is likely to improve. Will he be better than Gordon in the future? He might be, he certainly has the potential. But we are not a club who is able to afford potential in such a key area. Gordon is the better keeper right now, so he is the 1 we should be playing and trying our upmost to keep at the club.

We spent £8m on 'potential' last summer in Wickham. He is only 19, yet some have written him off already. Mignolet has potential but should be given games no matter what.

Strange place this board at times.
