Re: Emergency keeper loan [Merged]
Oh great. Panic over then.
lionheart said:I've just met a closet Evertonian over here in the United Arab Emirates, who tells me that Gunnar Niellsen is a really good shot-stopper and a reliable keeper. Not sure how he knows that but maybe we should give him a go rather than put Hart's future here next season at risk.

Re: Emergency keeper loan [Merged]
I really, really wanted to see Gunnar the Viking become a cult hero, saving 43 penalties in our last 3 games of the season, earning us 4th spot, but alas, it looks as though that's not going to happen. BBC Sport says our request for an emergency loan is set to be accepted, so i've been thinking about who we could realistically get.
I may get shot down for this, what with him being a rag, but what about Ben Foster? I don't think he'd let anyone down, and i'm sure he'd relish a chance to put himself in the shop window for a potential year-long loan next season to some other club. I doubt we'd get their no. 2, Kuszczak, since they are in a title battle, but surely we could get their no.3? He wouldn't have to temporarily move home or anything like that. It seems good for all parties to me.

Not necessarily true, if i am not mistaken we dont have a keeper for the bench, i think we should get cover for Gunnar

If this is true, would expect Hart to be back here by tomorrow night.
There will be a lot of negotiating going on, Joe is defo coming back to us now for next season - that's a cert with Shay's long term injury.
But we do have a number of squad players who take McLeish's fancy, and could be allowed to go out on loan to Brum next season.

Re: Emergency keeper loan [Merged]
Well I am happier that we have Gunner in goal than Taylor, has everyone forgot his game at Scunthorpe?, he was p*ss poor and thats being kind to the guy, nor was that a one off to how he normally plays.
Gunner has the shirt now, give him a chance an we may get a nice supprise

Re: Emergency keeper loan [Merged]
Any talk of Joe coming back is just farcical - a Season long loan means exactly that. The talk of David James is even crazier as Portsmouth have a Cup Final in a fortnight. Any keeper who comes in will be a number two from a Prem or Championship Club who is out of contract at the end of the season.
The question then is do we play the Loaned Keeper or take a gamble with Gunnar ? I think those so far who have pointed out that the Young lad has trained with this squad every day have made a strong case. As for the Loan, well Nicky Weaver might as well sit on our Bench and get splinters in his arse than Burnley's.

Can't agree with that mate. We can't put an untried, unheard of Faroe Islander in goal against 2 of the top 7 sides in the country, not with all the hard work we've put into the season up to now. We need someone tried, tested and who the defence will trust. Not that I doubt Gunnar's credentials, i'm sure he's a good keeper and has a good career agead of him. This isn't just seeing out the rest of the season though like it normally is with us at this stage, we are pushing for 4th place and need someone we can trust.
