Weird to pay £2m to loan him if they can bring him back after a few months. Also that would mess up the obligation to buyThey can recall him in January? Wtf is this?Tweet

Good goalkeeper but he won't be ahead of De Gea for a while if at allMy understanding of Dubravka from the last few seasons is: good shot-stopper, not much of a sweeper or passer, commands his area well. Probably an upgrade on De Gea, just based on that last bit - guy can definitely catch a fecking cross.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's starting league games soon.
If he's established himself as our #1 by then though then he'll have no doubt played enough games to trigger the obligation to buy clause.Happy with this. Seems to be a competent keeper rather than a spectacular one but right now that's what's needed. Can't believe he has a clause in his contract letting Newcastle take him back in January if they wish. He gets in ahead of De Gea plays a blinder and then we have to let him go if Newcastle want him back? That's madness.
Europa league and maybe cup gamesDo you think he will get much game time?
Or just waiting for potential injuries
Our scouts have searched long and hard for a keeper that will suit ten Hag's playing style. Surely this is the best available option amirite?Apparently Newcastle fans think its hilarious we are so excited about getting him, many are saying he is not any kind of sweeper keeper and was often stuck glued to his line.
Seriously? I think we are stuck with DDG for a long while yet unless we pay him to leave.I see the logic in this.
I can see Ten Hag binning both De Gea and Henderson next summer, instead going for a goalkeeper who completely suits the team.
Dubravka would be a shrewd investment at #2 if this transpired.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he shifts De Gea by Christmas.
Every loan deal has a clause like that.They can recall him in January? Wtf is this?Tweet

Definitely not planned that he actually challenges De Gea then.
That's not what his stats show though. Comfortably better stats than De Gea in sweeping, high claims and especially successful long passes. For a Ten Hag system he is looking good.Apparently Newcastle fans think its hilarious we are so excited about getting him, many are saying he is not any kind of sweeper keeper and was often stuck glued to his line.
I would share your confidence apart the fact the people being referred are "our scouts".Our scouts have searched long and hard for a keeper that will suit ten Hag's playing style. Surely this is the best available option amirite?
I was very much sarcastic. Let's hope he surprises i guess.I would share your confidence apart the fact the people being referred are "our scouts".
So far Ten Hag seems to have just bought players he has worked with, fine, or saw in the Dutch league while there, fine, and signing Eriksen and Casemiro is not exactly unearthing hidden gems.
He's nowhere near as good as Yann Sommer. Fine as a back-up though.Good signing, better than all the other options that were mooted from Germany.
Svidersky was with the U18/U21s for 3 years.Is he our first Slovak player?
