[RUMOUR] Daniel Bachmann

You’ve been a critic of everything for a long time.

 

That is true, though l have never slagged off Deeney or Gray. No idea why.

 

From the little I have gathered about professional football coaching over the years, the key with goalkeepers is consistency and communication. Someone like Reids with his setpiece knowledge may know way more about this but coaches and particularly defenders want a goalkeeper who will do the same thing in similar circumstances. What they don't like is a keeper who comes eight yards off his line for one cross, but leaves the next one.

By shouting 'away' he may be giving his defenders clear instruction that he's not coming for it. On its own in isolation this is the sort of kernel of evidence that's probably not all that useful in analysing his strengths and weaknesses.

I think Bachmann is a good goalkeeper but it's likely that the interest from Arsenal and Ajax is probably more a more accurate indication of that.

 

The Championship is a much weaker league so few were able to take advantage, but in any case, Sierralta got his head on everything last season anyway, so I'm not absolutely terrified of Bachmann at corners

 

Woah now, I'm sure @LaClusazSki knows more than these idiots at Arsenal and Ajax.

 

I still remember when we didn’t sell Scott Loach for a couple of million……..

 

Yes, think they offered £2million, think he ended up much further down the footballing pyramid a few years later

 

I presume that was before he let in a doozy against them in the cup?

 

Sell him a buy a keeper that doesn’t have the annoying habit of continually shouting “away”

 

Barnet/Spurs. What's the difference?

 

That will be a very short list to choose from.

 

Our North London neighbours

 

How about borte, lontano or lejos?

 

I'd sell him. No doubt Foster will be Number one by September.

 

We’d be mad to turn down £15m

 

One of the best things about watching the lockdown games was realising that there is no difference in defensive communication between the professional game and Sunday league - both just use combinations of shouting "time!", "away!" and "out!".

 

I heard it was 6 million.....

 

I think he is an alright keeper and am in no hurry for him to go anywhere else, but £15m?

That would be crazy money to turn down

 

Only if we had a suitable replacement lined up.

Foster in 38 now and has question marks over his interest IMO. Seems just as, if not more, bothered with his off-field ventures. So we could be risking a key position in the team just as we re-enter the PL just to pocket £15m.

I’d only be comfortable with this deal if we could replace him with someone like Johnstone at little cost to us.

 

Don’t forget we’ve got Rob Elliot waiting in the wings.

 

He’s rated higher than Bachmann in my FM2021 game. It’s a no-brainer.

 

I think the goalkeeper strategy (as long as Bachmann stays) is fine, Bachmann #1, Foster #2 and Elliot #3, with Dahlberg out on loan. Dahlberg is young and has only ever played in Sweden, he needs games at a higher level (the Championship would be a decent step up) so that he can come back and hopefully challenge Bachmann, rather than rot on the bench like he did when he was here before (and of course when he was in the Netherlands). Angelini is reeeeeally young, no idea when, or if, he'll ever be ready

 

Bachmann's agency is Triple S Sports, their clients regularly have ******** transfer rumours and unnecessary hype (James Garner) written about them by Charlie Wyett and his colleagues at The Sun. These latest Arsenal and West Ham developments are codswallop. Bachmann doesn't deserve a new deal unless he proves himself in the Prem first.

Sell.

 

I don't fully agree with all your comment.
Any 'Park' keeper shouting 'away' with the ball within the middle of the 6 yd box would be getting an earful from his defenders.
Bachmann doesn't want to come for it. You would need to ask him why this has been the way throughout his career.
I accept he communicates well, but shouting loudly will not stop a Premier league player from hammering home a free header/volley/shot from 3 or 4 yds from our goal with Bachmann rooted to his line.
There are many on this thread that feel he should be sold,, so he doesn't appear to have everyone feeling confident.
We shall see what happens in the coming months.
The club should sell while the sun shines for Bachmann.

 

Who gives a toss what park keepers say lol

 

I wonder what keepers yell in Finnish?

 

I wonder whether Bachmann yells in standard German or the Austro-Bavarian dialect? Or maybe even Serbo-Croat?

 

Good one. I hadn't thought about that.

 

Swap Bachmann for Nketiah

 

Think Nketiah is a bit short for a keeper.

 

Sizeist

 

Who is this Park Keepers bloke?

 

He’s a half Korean half Dutch goalie.
