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.

Need a chant for him.
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!

Much better than the keeper he’s replaced that’s for sure.

chant for Dubravka (could catch-on!):
He makes us hot, he makes you sigh
He makes us laugh, he makes you cry
Keep him burnin' for our love
With the touch of a goalies gloves
Abra-abra Dubravka
He’s gonna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra Dubravka
Abracadabra

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
