CONFIRMED Ivo Grbic signs for the Blades

[sheff_blade90]

i saying yesterday on shoutbox. grbic will be rusty we know that for sure. he played the last 8 games of last season for A Madrid. but then hasnt played for club or country since but besides that its hard to guess where his level is & we will just have to wait, judge him with our own eyes which is extremely boring & pointless on a forum

but he could be fantastic could be terrible. as he been kept out by oblak who is in the top 5 gk in europe, alongside Donnaruma, Ederson, Allison & Courtois.

Hopefully not just another backup-backup like a Michael Verrips.
Would like to see his quality before a season in the championship but playing against Brighton in the FA Cup might be a tall ask for someone with such little gametime in recent years.

Fixed it for you.

All the top teams in Europe want them back.

Never heard of him! Suprised we are spending money cannot see it being the reported £2m when he’s got 6 months left on his deal.

But a big lad and with some pedigree. Think it’s a good long term plan as long as he’s been scouted thoroughly. We have needed a stand out GK for some time so hopefully he’s the one.

Surely he must be on a free, I'm pretty sure some ITK on here said we wouldn't be paying a transfer fee..

 

[Harry's Game]

Not played alot for 28 but he must be half decent.

Must he?

Whys he’s coming here then?

 

[Wright1889]

Free but pay a lump if we stay up?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Surely he must be on a free, I'm pretty sure some ITK on here said we wouldn't be paying a transfer fee..

£2m sounds a lot for him especially given his contractual position so I’d be think it would be slightly over inflated when being reported.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Horatiu doesn’t want to play for us possibly ??

Or (tin hat on) Brexit?

 

[Bladeloyal]

The lad has played at every international level for his country ,he was at athletico one of the best sides in Europe,and some still have a downer ,same as all players incoming give them support

 

[Houso]

I know there's a bit of a tongue in cheek tone in some posts, but how some are even mentioning Verrips in the same comments

This lad has played for Atletico Madrid and been capped by one of the top ten national sides in the world.

If he doesn't consistently cost us points every game he's an improvement on what we have now
This is the market we are in ,look for players in contract situations that make them affordable to us
Coach and improve
For me a solid dependable keeper could make such a difference to the defence we could start to see huge improvements in the defending as well

But I'm an optimist me

Asking for a friend… any delete buttons available on here?

 

[Bladezz]

Well, given you said we weren’t spending anything on a keeper, I’m not surprised you’re surprised.
Nevermind though, I’m sure you’ll have some ingenious way of making yourself right which will make no sense to anyone else.

Rather a rude way to say I was wrong

But I am not like a large majority on here. I was wrong and very happy to be proven wrong!!

 

[The Crab]

Ffs, you lot were supposed to sign Danny Ward from us.

A better option became available.

You can never have enough training cones…..

 

[Weasel]

We just played the game with Leicester so that they thought we were swapping one useless lump at left back they had sent us, with another useless lump they had in the sticks. But in a brilliant game of deceit and double cross, CW has played a blinder and pulled out of getting Ward after getting the green light from LCFC to send Thomas back. We have now reported Leicester City's telephone number as spam.

Aye
Better to be an optimist than a fanny

I want all my cakes to be like Fannies(Craddock)

 

[b1ade4life]

Wilder said yesterday that we all knew we wouldn't be spending money in the transfer window, then backtracked a little by saying unless it was a brilliant deal.
I'd be very surprised if we pay £2m for this guy.

Loan to buy I'd expect

Remember Robin Olsen.........

Out of contract in the summer so it'll be a straight perm

 

[Harrisblade]

So no foreign goalkeeper can any better
than Olsen???

The lad played for every international level for his country..... just like Olsen, and he was gash.
I'm not saying he's better or worse, merely pointing out a similarity.

Maybe being gash was a lot more about how Jokanavic had the defence set up?

A keeper is still a keeper whatever defence he's behind.

Very 80s

 

[Bill puntin]

Think we dodged a bullet wi rovrum keeper got beat at near post today, wes would have cught it

 

[wadblade]

But heres hoping he is another Henderson

 

[Newbury Blade]

Or Verrips, don’t forget. We’ve had two shite foreign goalkeepers, so they’re all shite.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Romano says done deal, £2.5m

 

[Reus]

Or Verrips, don’t forget. We’ve had two shite foreign goalkeepers, so they’re all shite.

Think we have had a few more than two: Haber, de Vogt, Baxter, Verrips, Olsen, Ilic, Aksalu…..
