Our Estonian keeper

[Stafford Blade]

What was the point of this signing? We are now on our 3rd loan keeper of the season. Is this lad not even good enough to get splinters on his arse on the bench while Bennett takes over?

Gary Speed said in an interview that he had impressed in training and in the reserve game, but that they felt he wasn't ready to get thrown in at the deep end, especially when we have Bennett as a ready and reliable back-up. I suspect that when the season ends, Paddy comes back into the fold and Bennett retires or goes coaching, we will get to see a bit more of the big Estonian...

Why worry yourself about it. He'll be on a low wage and we'll have got him for sod all.

So, he'll either prove himself to be challenging for a first team place in the next season or so. Or, he'll be off on his merry way with us spending little money.

We slag off the club for not trying to sign foreign prospects, but when we do the little child in us that wants everything NOW gets all teary and wets itself.

Show a bit of patience or you'll get yourself a stomach ulcer.

he's still on more than the majority of the people that pay through the turnstile. So we are paying him to fill one of the goals in 5 a sides in training and at the same time paying premiership wages to loan keepers. Bennett is either good enough or he isn't. Blackwell obviously thinks he isn't. if the estonian lad is up to it get him on the bench, sack the loan keeper off and put Bennett back in.

Assuming Paddy's comeback, in footballing terms if not availability, is still a while away, Bunn leaving leaves us with 2 keepers: Bennett and a completely untested youngster (one for the future). As Houso says, if the guys on relatively low wages, then what's the problem. If Bennett got injured (could well happen with our luck) then we'd have 1 fit keeper who's never played in this country. Getting a replacement for Bunn makes sense in my book.
