Jack Butland on loan deal!

[ellafella]

I think I'm happy to leave this to the judgement of one of the finest goalkeeping coaches in the country.

Roos is a fine keeper but your point is very well made. Eric Steele is clearly the best judge of us all.

[quote="Toggles"]Just as people have said, Roos is a developmental player. Questioning Mac's signings? There's no guarantee he was brought in to go straight in to the squad should there be an injury, but a player who will improve and become a very good goalkeeper while being trained by a fantastic goalkeeping coach, playing the odd game and working with a good bunch of players.

Based on Wikipedia stats alone (figures of club appearances based on league games only)

Kelle Roos - 22 years old
9 appearances for Nuneaton Town
0 appearances for Derby (obviously has played in the cup)
5 appearances for Netherlands U15s

Jack Butland - 21 years old
46 appearances for Birmingham
24 appearances for Cheltenham
13 appearances for Barnsley
16 appearances for Leeds
3 appearances for Stoke
21 appearances for England (U16-U20 level)
26 appearances for England U21s
5 appearances for Great Britain in

I may be wrong or may have mis heard but I'm sure on Radio Derby phone in they said Roos would play tonight at Blackpool & Butland in after that.I await to be corrected. For what its worth I think Roos would be up to the job from what I've seen but agree that Butland is probably better/more experienced.Great loan signing. They also said on RD that Grant had broke his foot! Anyone have any more info on this?

Well Grant is out for a month so could be a fracture, rather than an actual break.

Butands signed and cleared to play, but whether Steve believes Roos is Ok for tonights game I don't know.

Another loan in front of our development player

Another McClaren signing that cant make it into the team?

Whats happened to the scouting system that brought us all these players currently in the team?[/quote]

Christie, Ibe, Shotton Best, Mascarell and Calero have all featured Dawkins and Thorne are injured, keep up man!

Whichever plays, it'll be a baptism of fire in 30+mph winds, gusting up to 70!

Bump

As anotyher thread seems to have gone into a Butland/Roos discussion.
