I think the problem is he's 28 and has done nothing in his career so far to suggest he's an International level keeper. But he plays for a foreign team we've all heard of so just call him up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the bang average McCarthy is preferred to him. Did you not see him throwing in goals before he was dropped? He'll be back on loan to Norwich once a Premier League team signs Tim Krul. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched QPR a few times and he's stinking. Doesn't look like a championship keeper, if he's in the Scotland squad we are really, really struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just glancing over his wiki. Born in France. What makes him eligible - parentage, I presume? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't read very far on Wiki! His mum is Scottish. Interesting fact about Bobby Allain (from Wiki) - Both his parents are deaf and he's fluent in sign language. He spends his spare time coaching a deaf football team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would suggest that whilst Olympiakos might be better than Celtic, this league as a whole is stronger. We're essentially discussing a less experienced Scott Bain here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the eufa coefficients is proof of anything. I didn't when I mentioned it either. Let's just say the league standards look pretty similar on paper. Ive not seen him neither have you. So hes possibly an equivalent of scott Bain (who was in ours squads very recently) Or he may be the best keeper in the world who is about to redefine football as we know it. Probably not true but let's get him in a squad and see. If hes crap hes crap -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Keepers are different with call ups tho aint they? Lots of countries use the 3rd keeper spot and give it a young keeper or lower league keeper who's on the up rather than whoever is actually the 3rd best keeper in their country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not only does he play in the Abroad League, he's actually an Abroad national. These are the kind of guys we need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The plan of capping third-rate English players with Scottish grannies wasn't working anyway. Let's try other countries now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
