Grbic

[The Crab]

He’s worse than Verrips IMHO.

He genuinely is and Verrips wasn’t great

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

He’s just horrendous. You’re actually surprised when he makes a save. We just have to cut our losses with him like we’ve done with everyone else that’s gone for free this summer and let him go somewhere else even if we don’t get much of a fee.

 

[RecordBreakers]

If I won the euros tonite I would personally buy grbic for any club just so we don't have to see him in a blades top anymore!

I would whole heartedly like to apologise to my fellow blades. I haven't won the euros so it looks like we are stuck with this clown for the foreseeable.

 

[b1ade4life]

When he dives his arms shrink. It’s a remarkable attribute.

He is a total fucking enigma, turns up to a game looking the part, the whistle blows and he turns into a borrower

 

[metalblade]

I'm convinced Grbic is an illegal immigrant who has stolen some poor fuckers ID this bloke has never been a goalkeeper. I've seen schoolkids with more idea and talent. Over the year United have had some top class keepers but Christ when we get it wrong we do it in a big way this bloke has to be the worst of the worst.

 

[riselikeasalmon]

I’m sceptical, Did anybody actually see him make the save yesterday or was it just in the report to drum up some interest…

 

[Shadota]

Is it too late to report him to trading standards

Club should claim under Consumer Rights Act as he's not fit for purpose

 

[Torrix1889]

Did he play the full 90 last night?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

He looks like when you've had your goalkeeper sent off and your centre half has to go in nets. That's how poor that positioning is.

Throw Traoré, Slimane & Larouci into the mix and you've got the product of some fantastic United World recruitment.

thats such an outrageous and far fetched comical post but do you know what its believable in an unbelievable way you could be right mate

 

[Working Class Hero]

Yep, he's hall of fame level awful.

Never mind keepers, he might be one of the worst players we've ever had in any position. He was the worst player in a historically bad season thats a fact.
Even Dean Hammond wasn't as bad a midfielder as Grbic is as a goalkeeper.

Playing more than 10 games over the last 30 years:

1. Ivo Grbic
2. Dean Hammond
3. Martyn Woolford
4. Conor Sammon
5. Michael Higdon
6. Nosworthy
7. Jordan Stewart
8. Simonsen
9. Yasser Larouci
10. Jay Mceverly

I doubt think there's any doubt that he's the worst. We've had plenty of crap players and some that looked like they didn't care, but I've never seen one so fundamentally bad at the game he's paid to play. It's so bizarre.

For me Nyron Nosworthy is the undisputed worst player ever to pull on a United shirt and keep getting picked.

Next would be Ivo Grbic then Jay McEverly.

For years Lee Baxter held the title, but these three have surpassed him in their drossness.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Not a Wilder signing, how many more times?

My post was back in May, why the two month delay? Who are you, Sting?

 

[Le Cynique]

Did he play the full 90 last night?

No, Davies came on for him partway through the second half

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi Stegosaurus here,

He is pretty bad. If we go into next season with him as number 1 and Davies as back up, we are in a pickle.

 

[TJ blade]

I

At this rate he’ll be starting at Preston. It’s a concern.

if he starts at Preston we're fucked, Wilders to blame for this goaly shit show, he's determined to give him game time at any opportunity, anybody whats watched football for years, can see he wouldn't get a game on the parks! For ffs ! Utd/ Wilder wake the fuck up!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

If he's still here next month and starts a league game then Wilder wants sacking. I'm a CW fan but playing him is basically saying we need to score at least 2/3 to win the game.

Riots if he ever played against pigs.

What's Derek Richardson doing these days? Surely can't be any worse.

Well it'd at least not be boring if we had to go the Kevin Keegan route

 

[ColinHill]

He doesnt fill any of us with confidence but tbf to the lad he got booed when his name was read out. On top of the abuse he's took on multiple platforms id challenge anyone to look like they want to play for the club in that situation. Positioning wasnt great for the goal, obviously but he had nothing else to do all night. Bigger concern was that a long ball, Robinson getting beat to a header lead to us being wide open. Something we've seen a fair bit last couple of seasons

 

[SouthportBlade]

No club is successful with mince between the sticks.

If Grbic (or Davies for that matter) is No1 come start of season no chance of a good season.

Arguably the most crucial position in a team. No where to hide if you’re wank, and instills a lack of confidence across the pitch.

Cut losses, accept any offer, pay off or ship out on loan if needed.

 

[Northyorksblade]

 

[Bristol Blade]

Without a doubt the worst player I have ever seen for us in any position. It's not as if he's just playing badly or making the occasional mistake, his technique is just fundamentally wrong in everything he does; he doesn't dive right, his positioning is terrible, he's not great on crosses and his distribution is poor.

I have genuinely seen better Sunday League keepers.

 

[GVBlade]

One word: liability

 

[Black Cloud]

I know it’s been said previously but where is the GK coach in all this…whilst I appreciate CW may be trying to get some market interest in him against crap sides, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the match day squad come the first league game….
Dreadful signing

Well said.

To be clear, Grbic, in his current form, is nowhere near the standard required for us. I think that we can all be pretty certain that Wilder has noticed this, and plans to do something about it.

The lad’s confidence has clearly been shot to pieces, and now looks beyond redemption - he needs a fresh start away from us.

The torrent of posts revelling in this situation is embarrassing, and the efforts of the posters to outdo each other with ever more ridiculous superlatives and look-at me statements of the obvious is even more pathetic that the performance of the person they are criticising. The booing and jeering in the ground last season and this preseason is cringeworthy.

 

[South Sea Blade]

What's Derek Richardson doing these days? Surely can't be any worse.

I'm afraid he is..........that's how unbelievable it is. I'm a Wilder fan and believe in him, but why on earth is he giving him game time is a mystery to me...................unless he's trying to prove to the people above him that they should keep out of the scouting business.

It's not really though is it? Blades fans are rightly concerned that the club they love are going to lose matches because of this one player. A message must be sent that everyone knows that this player is way below the required standard. We all have opinions on whether some players should play, or not - and that's fine. But when everyone (barring Snowflake ) can see what is in front of there eyes, it is hard to believe that the BL hierarchy are not insisting that he is given minutes, even if the manager knows that he is not good enough.

Ah, so it’s the Prince’s fault. I should have known this all along.

I can see that he isn’t a good keeper. My points are first that he is not as dreadful as some say and second that he and Davies will be ok if we have a decent defence and good attacking players.
If we have sufficient funds then he should be replaced.
