Did smith scout and recommend Kalinic? We’d been linked with him previously so I assumed it was a club recommendation rather than a manager one. With a disaster of Nyland it looks like Kalinic was just a panic buySorry , but why the hell are some writing off the now Croatian first choice international keeper that only a year ago was playing in a world cup and part of a squad that was in the final. Who has only played 7 games for us. That Deano made a priority signing only 6 months ago. Doesn't say much to the owners about judgement of Deano if Kalinic is binned after 7 games .
Thought we had learned or lesson from last season about writing off players with the likes of Whelan, Jedi , Anwar to name a few.
20 million on 9 caps in 7 years Butland. Not for me.
Paper trash anyway I imagine .
Not sure the fact he’s first choice for Croatia means anything for us. He’s only first choice because the other guy who got them to the final retired and it’s not like because the squad he was merely part of got to the final it somehow proves his quality
