And that’s after the match.

[Aclaret]

Why wouldn't he be....clean sheet today for him !

[rufus lumley]

And it's getting near payday.

[NewClaret]

Slick trim. Gone for the Kosovan Mafia look.

Surprised McKenna is still alive really.

[jrgbfc]

First time i've ever seen him smile i think.

[Cirrus_Minor]

He plays for Ipswich, so I am happy too

[warksclaret]

He was pleasantly surprised with his bar bill

[Darnhill Claret]

I think Ipswich will stick with McKenna.

[Stonehouse]

Could make it a good caption competition.
Pep’s saying “ We’ve got a buy back clause for James Trafford for £2 million”

[D8BFC]

Wonder if he’ll see out his contract training with the kids at Ipswich now he’s been dropped when they get relegated????

Tosser!

[FeedTheArf]

I think I’m still processing the sheer turnover of players in the summer window, but getting £10m for Muric was a great deal in hindsight.

Far too many mistakes to be a Prem keeper long-term.

The errors made by the so called top keepers are happening on a weekly basis ,Ramsdale and the prat at Old Trafford and his understudy in the Carabao cup ,never used to happen until tippy tappy Pep started it.

[Darnhill Claret]

Pep being blamed for goalkeeping errors is a new one on me.
All keepers make big errors, some more regularly than others.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

On the subject of prem keepers - Bart Verbruggen, who we lost out on to Brighton and instead ended up with Muric for, has done brilliantly at Brighton.

I think he's referring to the different types of errors.

Before Pep I don’t think there were many times in a season where the goalkeepers were passing to the defenders in the penalty area.

The Man Utd penalty this weekend was directly from a shocking pass from Verbruggen.

Yes, even the best keepers have big errors in them. Overall though done very well for a 22 year old at that level.

[Clovius Boofus]

Poor Pep, eh. Forcing all those managers to adopt his style.

McKenna has done an incredible job taking Ipswich to the PL from League 1 without huge spend and, this season, making them a competitive team in most games. Would be outrageous if he were sacked.

Thought we got Trafford when we failed to get BV ?

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Yeah you are right actually!

[Raconteur]

I think we also went for BV before we got Muric.
Didn't Muric have a random signing announcement video with Bart Simpson. It came across like the media team made it for BV then couldn't be bothered to make a new one for Muric

That's correct, and shows how close we were to getting Bart

[Row x]

The second time we tried to sign BV...first time it was muric

[Raconteur]

Yes, deal was agreed. Couldn't get a work permit, as far as I am aware.

It makes for a much more interesting game when everyone gathers around the centre circle waiting for the goalie to boot it. It may be a bit 50-50, but you aren't putting yourself under pressure in your own half only for one player to panic and hoof it up the pitch anyway. There's few players/teams capable of executing the playing out from the back effectively for the majority of the time that it's marvelled as tactical genius, more often it's boring football suicide.

[blatherwickstattoos]

I’d have him back should/when we sell Trafford

I was making reference to the nonsense rumours of Muric being linked to the Kosovan mafia on here last year. I meant alive in the truest sense.

He has done a good job and I agree they’ve looked competitive in most games bar City. He has spent €150m though since promotion (plus loans like Enciso soon) to get 3 wins at this level.

[Quicknick]

I'm happy he isn't on our books.

[Foshiznik]

I'd take him over Hladky

[Darnhill Claret]

Muric like Trafford is at an age where he will continue to improve as a keeper.
All the signs are that James has more improvement in him, and I think that is probably the majority view.

[Kebsclaret]

Not happy today. He’s £20k down for a motoring offence.

I'm surprised the mafia didn't nobble the judge.

[beddie]

How do they arrive at that figure for the offence. Surely it’s not based on your earnings.

[fidelcastro]

It should be, otherwise a paltry fine is meaningless.

[Swizzlestick]

How do they arrive at that figure for the offence. Surely it’s not based on your earnings.

It is if it goes to court, I think.

I believe we missed out on him twice in consecutive summers.

I was responding to a post relating to Verbruggen’s move to Brighton which was summer 2023.

[mkmel]

Not even on the bench tonight

Is he injured?

[boatshed bill]

I’d have him back should/when we sell Trafford

if we don't get promoted, yes.

[NewClaret]

Not even on the bench tonight

Is he injured?

No I think he’s well and truly out of favour there.

[Swizzlestick]

No I think he’s well and truly out of favour there.

He is injured - shoulder problem which he possibly need surgery for.

[IanMcL]

Not even on the bench tonight

Is he injured?

Yes. 2 shoulders now affected. Probable surgery.

[scamander]

I live in Brighton and a close mate has been a fan all of his life. Have asked about him a few times giving that we were after him. He has been a mixed bag with promise but a few errors made along the way. Probably what you would expect from a young keeper.

[NewClaret]

Ah, my mistake. Hadn’t heard that at all. Big blow for them if it’s a longer term thing as pretty sure they’d want to move him on in summer as he’ll be a high earner.
