We also signed Holt and Hucks, who were both otherwise washed up or out of favour.

Not saying Krul will go on to be as legendary as either but he’s a good keeper.

Is Krul out of contract?... (NCFC) - loz, Jul 23, 12:07:32
- Yeah he has left Brighton (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:08:44
  - Surprised no Dutch clubs are in for him to be honest! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:08:58
    - What does that tell you? (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jul 23, 12:12:32
      - That we have more money than most Dutch clubs? (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 12:18:49
      - His last competitive game was last year for AZ Alkmaar. What it tells me is simply (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:18:23
        
        Cech is still awful though (n/m) (NCFC) - wolfio, Jul 23, 13:14:04
        
        He's been awful since he joined Arsenal. Bizarre choice of an example really. (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 13:15:53
        
        I think "awful" is a bit strong, don't you? Not the best keeper in the world anymore but (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 13:42:23
        
        "awful" ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 13:15:21
        
        100% this (n/m) (NCFC) - WalksietheReturn, Jul 23, 12:28:56
      - We also signed Holt and Hucks, who were both otherwise washed up or out of favour. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 23, 12:16:56
        
        Not sure I agree - both Holts and Hicks were fairly regular starters (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:21:35
        
        Huckerby wasn't (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 12:50:28
        
        Comparing keepers to outfield players isn't really fair though (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 12:46:30
        
        Yes but these outfield players were written off by other clubs and proved successful here. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 23, 15:18:44
        
        also, re 'cant find another team' (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 23, 15:51:45
        
        Crouch (loan) is maybe a better example of washed up player making good. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:23:18
        
        Nope. He was early 20's when he joined us (n/m) (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:26:03
        
        What difference does that make? He was on his way to lower league obscurity. But what are (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:27:23
        
        Obviously. Don't agree with you about Crouch but hey ho... (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 12:38:30
        
        I’m not writing him off (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jul 23, 12:34:30
        
        I think we have to trust the manager here (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jul 23, 12:56:03
        
        He’s not necessarily a replacement, he’s another option. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jul 23, 12:37:23
        
        Understand that... point taken (n/m) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jul 23, 12:50:37
        
        If and only If that is the intended scenario (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 13:00:30
        
        I rather suspect we're trying to offload McGovern (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 13:06:03
        
        Expect we are, but whether he will go is entirely different (n/m) (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jul 23, 13:28:11
        
        As long as he's still getting his money I'm sure he'd be fine... (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 14:56:05
        
        Isn’t that one of the nine roff commandments? (NCFC) - King, Jul 23, 12:32:10
        
        Jim hasn't been on yet to tell us why signing Krul concerns him (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 23, 12:34:02
        
        I don't even need to know why (NCFC) - mr carra, Jul 23, 12:53:29
