Incorrectly predicted the de Jong transfer 2022
Looks like we’ve moved on from Trapp to Dubravka. Wouldn’t mind him as a loan signing. Decent backup to give DDG some competition
Can’t see how this will work, surely the geordies now view us as rivals. They’re not going to want to strengthen us, so if they agree to loan him, he’s shit?
I mean that as a question I’m not just pouring piss on the potential transfer, I have not seen him play so can’t say myself.
DefinitelyIs he really better than Tom Heatone?
They don't rate him - if they did, they wouldn't have replaced him this summer. He's OK, but has similar strengths and weakness to de Gea.
Really didn’t think he was a ball at his feet player?

This! De Gea isn't good enough and needs replacing, if you aint replacing him then we might as well have Heaton as back up.We don't need a backup. We need a starter.
We don't need a backup. We need a starter.
All the people saying ‘use Heaton as backup’ would be going insane at the club for not signing another keeper if DDG picks up a serious injury
What’s the point of Heaton?
But this kind of signing is to buy time to search for that player…Would prefer to see us take a gamble on a younger talent who can provide the same back up to De Gea, while also having the potential to usurp him, rather than just a back up who we know for sure won't be better.
This is agent talk getting his name out there because he doesn't want to be on the bench at Newcastle. Doesn't fit the profile of what we are looking for at all.
He's just a backup keeper on loan for a year. Nothing more, nothing less. The position will be addressed properly next summer I would assume.This is agent talk getting his name out there because he doesn't want to be on the bench at Newcastle.
