Rubbish, Udogie and VDV were excellent yesterday - well priced signings, at the right age who played really well. This bloke looks a fucking clown, pound shop Pickford.

He won’t read a single word of what is written on this forum so you’re right, the ‘toxic skepticism’ (lol) will do nothing. Nothing at all.
Can’t believe the criticism he is getting after just one game! I think a lot of the toxic opinion Vicario is getting because people automatically want to make out there is a problem with him because Levy would not pay over the odds. I’m well pleased we didn’t buy that dwarf Reya We got a far better keeper
I’m glad you agree that the toxic negativity on here won’t be representative of match day fans or people in the media. Reading things like he’s a « pound shop Pickford » is ridiculous.
The one position in your team that you can't afford time is your goalkeeper. Maybe he will come good, but how many points will he cost us to get there?
Basically, as usual, we cheaped out. .
What other Big 6 football club would have forgone there first choice in such a manner?
We’ll see. Happily admit I’m wrong and I hope I am but a keeper that looks erratic and nervy is unlikely to settle down IMOI’m glad you agree that the toxic negativity on here won’t be representative of match day fans or people in the media.

Exactly right.
I also remember the posts being made about how Rayas biggest weakness was his shot stopping when we were in for him. Some people are just unhappy.
So far? He’s cost us 0 points. So get behind him!
It’s nothing to do with “getting behind” a player. It’s not personal against Vicario.
It’s about calling out potential penny pinching in a key area of the field from our ownership.
Brentford were asking for above market value for a goalkeeper with one year left on their contract whose biggest weakness is shot stopping. We know this because Woolwich have subsequently come in at 30m instead of 40m.
Some people want us to spend too much for players who aren’t even that great.
In any case - none of this is Vicario or the teams responsibility so if you support THFC then yes you will not write players off after one game.
Why can't you believe it. His constant rushing out for no reason to create risk where none existed is part of his personality. It's like Hugo all over again. The fact it's his first game should make him more cautious not less. I still think we should try for Raya. Hijack the Woolwich deal.
We always do. This is a forum. Anything can be said here.
It can.
And anything can be called out too.
(And no, we don’t always do. Plenty of evidence on here to show that some simply do not.)
Anyone not willing to give him a season is a cunt. Fact.
I’ll give him 37 games exactly. Take it or leave it.
Vicario needs to be good to justify the decision not to buy a homegrown keeper that Woolwich think is better than their first choice and is going for a negligible amount more than he did. We certainly haven't managed to reset the market with our courageous refusal to sign a reasonably priced homegrown player. This is hindsight, of course, but not being able to do that deal and then selling Kane makes the board look devoid of ambition.
We should've clearly gone the entire pre-season without a starting keeper, negotiating with Brentford until they finally reduce the fee days before the first game of the season, I'm sure you would've loved that.
If you listen to Ange it seems he is very much in favour of looking for value in the market and not overpaying for players
While he is here I think we will see plenty of signings at the cheaper value end. Smart scouting and buying players before they explode in price is not a bad thing
