Strong rumours on our forum / at our end in general that we (PNE) are in for Muric on loan.
He’s a cracking keeperStrong rumours on our forum / at our end in general that we (PNE) are in for Muric on loan.
Makes sense as i guess the new Yank keeper will take the no.2 slotStrong rumours on our forum / at our end in general that we (PNE) are in for Muric on loan.
A season of first team football is probably what he needs but if the idea is for him eventually come back here and make it as a cup goalie for us then it will have to be at a team that plays out from the back. Sending him somewhere where that side of his game isn't tested or improved will send him backwards as far being a City keeper is concerned.
Muric has played out from the back since before he joined us, he won't go backwards if he goes somewhere more direct, just like if Eddy spent a year under Pulis he'd not forget everything. In fact depending on the areas of his game that the coaches think need developing, going somewhere old school could be beneficial.
The only issue is that he won't get experience passing out in high pressure situations, and he'll need to get that at some point before being used for us regularly, but it might be a case of needing 2 loans, or learning that through cup games.
Personally, if he's to make it at City he'd be better off staying and training under Pep and playing league cup games than going somewhere that plays hoof ball. He won't necessarily forget everything he's learned but it's such a huge part of our game, I can't see it being helpful to him or us for him to not be playing that way for a year. If he goes somewhere more direct it will probably speed up his chances of making it as a number one somewhere but I doubt it'd be with us. I don't really watch much football outside of the premier league so I've no idea if there a team with a suitable playing style that would be interested in taking him but I think that would be the best all round.
He's not going to be number 1 for us.
Yes he will. He's already a number 2, going somewhere and getting experience in front of crowds isn't going to make him worse.I know. And he won't be a number two either if he's loaned out somewhere that doesn't play out from the back.
