Costel Pantilimon

[samharris]

Does anyone think this guy may end up being too good for the bench?

I can't think of any team who have 2 very good goalkeepers....

Erm us.. we had Shay and joe for 2 years in the same squad..

Costel will get Some FA & cup games hopefully and all the Carling cup games.
Joe gets prem and CL..

on the OS story on eds 3-0 oldham it states that we have signed him on a '12 month loan'?? also on wikipedia it says he cost us £5.7m making him by my reckoning the 4th most expensive keeper in the premier league??

He is on loan with an option to buy. I'd say whoever edited that wiki page used a questionable source. How about this one instead?

Is this Costel going to be on the bench or just EDS games?
Seems a bit strange we have Taylor on the bench and Johanason (sp) in the squad and this lad in the EDS.

6th by my reckoning if the fee's correct behind; De Gea, Cech, Gordon, Gomes and Reina.

Didn't Chelsea spend a bit on their new keeper Courtois?

Don't forget the EDS will soon be participating in the NextGen league, I think it's like a mini Champs League, so should be a good place for our future first teamers to shine.

ah fair enough didn't do my research... 7th at least then because given cost us £6m but looks like its not true anyway

Highly doubt we'd pay £5.7m for a second choice keeper from a Romanian club ravaged by debt even if we buy him at the end of the loan. £2.5m-ish a Romanian journo said on Twitter some time back.

Indeed they did, forgot about him, almost £8m, although I presume they're getting some of that back from Athletico.
