I've been very impressed with him this season. It might not be a popular opinion, but I don't think Trafford would have done as well as this guy has, had he stayed.
Obviously a short-term 'fix' but who knows, could be worth his weight in gold if he helps to keep us up.
We've not bad at signing keepers are we!?

I wasn't impressed when we signed him. I wanted Johnstone who were also linked with.
Have to say that he has been very good so far. Not sure about any comparisons with JT but it's irrelevant, I am happy with what we've got. Certainly earned his corn today.

May or may not be enough, but the premier league class and experience he and walker bring to the team is a massive upgrade compared to the Kompany season.

Another very good performance today. Looks to have been a very canny signing, and a trade which in effect has funded our midfield which I’m looking forward to seeing at full strength.

If we keep singing that ****e Jeremy Corbyn one for an absolute gem of a player, it’ll drive me mad.
Absolutely agree we need a proper song for a proper player.

Outstanding in the main part this season so far. When you think back a few short weeks to the pasting he got after Spurs from those who find fault and are usually disappointed with virtually any signing Burnley make, it makes them look foolish imo!

Newcastle fans told us he was a very good shot stopper and that’s proving to be the case.
He’s also good at collecting or punching balls into the box and commanding his area.

A more than able replacement for JT. Well done the recruitment team, a steal at what we paid NUFC for him. £2M? was it? Bargain.

He’s done really well so far
Two great midfielders and a keeper plus change for Trafford looks like incredible business

He's the sort of keeper we have needed since Pope left.
It’s not a position you can afford to train youngsters in for the benefit of big clubs and a few quid.

I see your point but it did benefit us with a record-breaking promotion and record-breaking sale.

He likes a punch but he always seems to get good distance on them.

Nice sentiment even if it’s utter ********
Troy Deeney taken over from Garth Crooks for picking the team of the week on BBC. Not exactly the thinking man’s choice but on the plus side it’s impossible to be as annoying as Crooks who for some reason used to think writing the easiest column in sport was some kind of intellectual review of War and Peace

He's actually quite good with his feet too. Newcastle fans were saying Pope's the better shot stopper but Dubravka has the better distribution.
