CONFIRMED Olsen Loan Terminated

He was a fuckin liability in the sticks for Utd. We are hardly gunna miss this wage thief who clearly likes to draw large wage but is either not motivated cos he thinks he's above the club he's playing for or it's because he's just plain crap.

He didn't want to be here and made that absolutely clear. The feeling was mutual. A footnote in history where every SUFC fan will have forgotten about him probably by next week. Ta ta, you won't be missed.
 
In the summer I was happy that on the face of it we'd replaced Ramsdale with an international standard keeper and also banked some money in the process. Olsen has turned out to be a disappointment and we've been spared 6 months wages for him but that shouldn't mean that we're happy with Wes as the ongoing number 1 keeper.

We need a decent keeper in January, who in reality should be capable of making Wes a benchwarmer and cameo keeper.

Anything other than this is a step backwards.

I think you need to get off the fence, stop trying to be diplomatic, say what you really think😉

Surely it’s unrealistic to expect a keeper of the standard you suggest to be available in January. What team would release such a keeper mid season ?

I'm not saying I expect us to get one, I'm just saying that replacing Ramsdale with either no one or another backup and deciding that Wes is now our no.1 is a significant weakening of the GK position.

We've gone from having Ramsdale/Moore/Wes/Verrips/Eastwood/Amissah at the end of last season to Wes/Eastwood/Amissah. It's criminal really and shows the kind of foresight and planning that goes into our transfer business.

We won't sign anyone and as you say there won't be anyone available, particularly given that we won't be able to spend the kind of money that we did for Olsen given the new 'strategy' that we have employed. We are shopping in bargain basement and will get a bargain basement standard keeper as a result.
 
He never filled me with confidence, and was pretty much destined to be understudy to Wes Fodders, once Wes started collecting clean sheets. I assume that being on the bench of a Championship club was beneath him. Not a great loss, really.

I'll sum it up.
He just didn't want to be here.
Now if he goes to Villa and tears it up then he's a cunt

He's a cunt alright but he will hardly tear it up at Villa, we all know that. You are completely right, he didn't want to be here and bringing him in was a massive mistake. I'm sure Gerrard will have him coaching the U10's by mid February.

Maarten Stekelenburg spent a lot of time warming benches even though he was the Netherlands' number 1 - weird that these high profile keepers are happy to play back up

I think it's a mixture of scarcity & economics.

The pool of talent is shallow for many European countries and GK is a limited position. So in the case of Olsen; even though he'll be the best that Sweden have to offer I'm sure that he'll earn much more sat on a Premier League or Serie A bench then stood between the sticks for Leverkusen or Ajax.

Maybe this was the solution to our postponed fixtures?
If you can't field 11 just field what you can and you can have goalie wag

i think sometimes there is something else at play regards international games, weirdly certain players seem to have more, or play above their club form, Xhaka at Arsenal is a liability for his country totally different, Harry Maguire has been found out, put under way more pressure in the PL than International games, yes you can argue its intensity, style of play etc and that shouldn't directly affect a keeper,maybe its confidence or collective confidence being surrounded by better players, or perhaps as daft as it sounds its the added pressure? similar re the track/distance was always the same distance, and Kris Akabusi always seemed to run faster in a relay than his races as an individual.
 
The devil made work for my idle hands!, hence,......

Frank Fielding - Goalkeeper. 33yrs old (34 in April)
Recent record,... All with clubs playing at Championship level!.
Bristol C. 2018-19 - 7 Appearances (5 League, 2 FA Cup)
Millwall 2019-20 - 1 Appearance (League)
2020-21 - 2 Appearances (Both FA Cup)
Stoke C. 2021-22 - 0 Appearances.
I'll be kind and call it 10 Appearances in THREE years. Not what I would call a threat to/for WF's No.1 position/Shirt!!, which IMHO is a must to keep WF on his game!.
BUT!, Frank is a player that will require 'No to little' Fee!, and as such would be an ideal signing suggestion for the 'Yes man' dingle to put forward to 'Yes man' bettis to (in the absence of a Chairman/Board!?) put forward to the prince, in keeping with the 'Spend Nowt' policy under which our club is now operating.
A squad in need of some major surgery will be getting the (Fielding etc..) sticking plaster treatment, if it is lucky!.
Unfortunately Blades, this, is our 'lot' for the foreseeable future, prepare for (4+yrs!?) more sh*t times ahead!.

See you all at BDTBL next Saturday
UTB
 
He clearly hasn't ever wanted to be here, even at the start of the season when we were all hopeful. No great loss.
