Whether we need a new keeper or not....

....and I do think Krul is decent I just think this is a bit of a shame. Remi has not been a given a chance in a competitive game and seems to have been harshly judged. Both Plymouth and Hamilton thought he was a really good keeper. Two other issues a) what does it say about the Club's ambition in bringing our youngsters through - nothing good and b) equally importantly I think a lot of the problem here is the transfer window closimg on the 9th instead of the 31st Aug (I'm presuming that applies in the Championship though I haven't checked). Decisions are being made in panic / haste without giving players a chance.

  - We don’t have time to give Remi a longer chance. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 23, 12:21:50
  - Did Plymouth or Hamilton think he was a really good keeper? (NCFC) - jAC, Jul 23, 12:16:48
    - Plymouth forum (PASOTI) thought in general he was a v good keeper (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:56:03
  - I know what you mean, but football is a harsh environment (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jul 23, 11:55:58
    - Never said was a surprise. Just maybe a bit of a pity. (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:01:55
      - Actually it would not have an effect on the home grown rule, as long as we relegate (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:06:46
        
        think Krul is considered home grown (NCFC) - raretek, Jul 23, 13:21:38
        
        Surely Remi will be off permanently now.... (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:16:06
        
        Why would he be off now? I'd say challenge him to work on his feet and compete for the #1 (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:21:40
      - Agree with that - it is a pity (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jul 23, 12:04:21
  - Didn’t farke say Remi was in his plans before he went out on loan!? (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jul 23, 11:54:21
  - What did you see in the games so far (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Jul 23, 11:49:16
    - I haven' seen them, and I have read the reviews of him (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 11:53:39
      - He hasn't looked great so far but as far as giving him a chance...well the biggest concern (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:04:32
      - He can’t pass from the back so he doesn’t fit our style ... (NCFC) - loz, Jul 23, 12:02:55
        
        I'd keep him and have him on the bench as a home grown player. McGovern isn't exactly (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:08:32
      - Fair enough (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Jul 23, 12:00:06
  - Remi is not a youngster anymore. Looks at what they young goalkeepers out on loan... (NCFC) - WalksietheReturn, Jul 23, 11:48:45
    - Completely agree (NCFC) - Tiansonis, Jul 23, 11:52:50
- He's only 30, seems to have been around forever. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jul 23, 11:38:13
