Top five clean sheet keepers in the Premier League;

Petr Cech: 6ft 5
David James: 6ft 4
Mark Schwarzer: 6ft 4
David de Gea: 6ft 4
David Seaman: 6ft 4

Indeed. But they all had something that great keepers have and Grbic lacked. The reaction speed of a cat. Read, anticipate, react. Even then later on in their careers I think Cech James and DeGea had problems at the near post.

Some have it some don’t. Jamal Blackman had a similar problem. Imposing, but just lacking that speed to get down.

The other thing Grbic lacked was positioning sense. But we have had keepers like that before. George Long and Gobby Ransdale both had a weird tendency to dive after the ball had passed them which generally indicates they hadn’t anticipated and were in the wrong position in the first place. How Ramsdale got to be an England keeper is as much a mystery as Chris Woods in my opinion.

In the first half of 2020-21 Ramsdale noticeably had a trigger movement that took him away from the ball just before he dived: he was taking a little hop the wrong way. Walker's goal for Man City at the Lane is a good example of him doing this.

Yes he was a very agitated keeper.

Sheffield United sanction transfer departure after nightmare Bramall Lane spell

Nightmare Sheffield United spell nearing an end as Blades sanction transfer exit
www.thestar.co.uk www.thestar.co.uk

"And Grbic is now heading to one of their sides after agreeing a deal with Çaykur Rizespor, where he will spend the remainder of the current season."
"Grbic is scheduled to return to Bramall Lane next summer, by which point he will still have two years left on the deal he signed earlier this year when making the switch from Spain."
 
Çaykur Rizespor? This is Ivo Pisspor.

Purely down to being an Arsenal,player wasn’t it. He got found out quickly enough there and I doubt he’ll be troubling the England squad again anytime soon.

I was saying Ramsdale should have played for England in Euro 202(1). Because he was immense for us in the second half of the season.

He had some nerves and mistakes first half of the season, but he wasn't as bad as some people made out.

Second half of the season he was fantastic.

He's a top keeper, but with such intense media coverage these days, almost every keeper looks flawed under the microscope.
 
So looks like Grbic gone to Turkey for year on loan…well at least that’s freed up some wages & put him in the shop window on broken biscuit counter at the market ..hope he has a blinder & we get some cash back on him ..I don’t think using David Blunkett as a scout worked out well on this signing ⚔️
 
Hopefully he doesn’t play so no one sees how shit he is and we can hoodwink someone into signing a former La Liga and PL goalkeeper in the summer!
 

Thank you Ivo for being the best goalkeeper we've had since Henderson, and you might even be better than him. Your relentless dedication to the Sheff Utd badge always endeared you to me, and your top notch saves nearly kept us in Premier League. Your backline never did you any favours, but you were outstanding. You also proudly represented Croatia internationally, and represented clubs in the Champions League with honor and class.

Thank you, Mr. Grbic.
 
The statistics say he conceded more than one goal PER GAME than he should have, which is quite frankly ridiculous and means he must be statistically the worst player to ever play for us.

Most would agree we'd have struggled to stay up if we were allowed to play two keepers, but if Grbic had saved one more goal per game, we'd have accumulated 8 more points during his stint between the sticks. We'd have been 3 points from safety with 5 games to go. We'd have at least given it a go and the run-in would have been very interesting. It's not even beyond the realms of possibility that with that bit of momentum and the crowd back on side, we might have taken it down to the wire.

Disaster signing.

Then that’s none of his fault

It’s the fkin buffoons who put him in there in the first place

Yet more shite mismanagement

What about Wes? Conceded nearly 80 goals last season, including some horrific mistakes. Cant just pin it all on Grbic and make him the scapegoat. Wes was wank as well.

Wes only conceded 1 goal per 10 games more than he "should have".

So 1 of those 8 that Grbic should have saved but didn't, Wes would still have conceded. He'd have saved the other 7. Statistically speaking, of course.

It isn't, most still don't understand why Raya was chosen... and persisted with despite a pretty shocking first 2 or 3 months of his arsenal career.

Definitely the process to recruit was flawed.

There would have been limited recent footage of him as he was getting splinters on Athleticos bench.

Surely mid-season you want someone coming in who is playing regularly and putting in performances?

2m and Adam Davies on loan. You would have thought this might have been of interest to Rotherham for example.
 

He was so poor that it's not even worth slapping a confirmed sticker on this thread. 😆
