We don’t have time to give Remi a longer chance.

If Remi isn’t up to it, Farke needs an experienced option before the window closes. If he’s any good, he’ll get his chance but it sounds like Farke doesn’t want to waste any time and that’s good. If he was to give Remi longer and it didn’t work out, Farke will be criticised for not investing in a better keeper. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t but critics always have the benefit of hindsight.

  - 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
