2025-26 Season (Levante, La Liga – 36 appearances)

• Key stats: 56 goals conceded (GA90 ~1.56), ~69% save percentage (124 saves from ~180 SoTA), 9 clean sheets (~25%).
• He played every minute in La Liga as Levante finished mid-to-lower table.
• Solid volume (high shots faced) with average-to-good efficiency. Save % is respectable but not elite for top keepers; clean sheets and GA 90 reflect a leaky defence more than individual weakness.

2024-25 Season (Mainly Lens in Ligue 1 – 14 appearances; brief Roma cameo)

• Lens (Ligue 1): 17 GA in 14 games (GA90 ~1.21), ~72% save % (43 saves from ~60 SoTA), 6 clean sheets (~43%).
• Stronger per-game numbers in a more competitive league. He contributed to a mid-table Lens side with good shot-stopping and distribution.
• Limited action at Roma (mostly cup/substitute role)

He seems like decent enough cover for Cooper and a better option than Davies. I do wonder if we are regretting keeping Davies and whether we have a club lined up for him to go to.

Could Ryan be a replacement for Cooper and we're cashing in? Still time on his contract, but the injury issues probably mean we'd not make much, if anything.

Please don't tell me we're looking at the one player in the World Cup who did literally nothing right?

No, we aren't going to be signing Jordan Henderson

I should have said "managed to play some minutes but did literally nothing right", good point.

We're signing Ivan Toney then?

I bloody hope not, that would certainly show we are in the mire!

That said, I really can't see Coopers stock being that high at the moment.

Ryan for Davies is an upgrade though so maybe someone has offered a packet of pork scratchings for Davies and we are cashing in?

 

[Guesty]

At least he got a touch, Ryan came on for penalties and got nowhere near any of them!

Come on Danny, get those magic fingers going.

I'm still baffled as to why we took up the option on Davies' contract.

 

[UddersBlade]

Because we have no money to bring in another keeper!

 

[KMC-1889]

At the time we Cooper, Grbic & Faxon - we didn't need a forth. We took up his option and now are being linked with more keepers? Doesn't feel like a well thought out plan.

 

[ckpe147]

Its obvious what we need and where, the lack of rumours or movement of anything is starting to concern me.
Clearly we'll be starting with Hamer on the left against Brum, and he'll be sold on deadline day, with Yang Min Hyeok coming in on loan to replace.
Sad to see but this ownership is intent on asset stripping!
