There was a lot going on just before the deadline. One player failing a medical, another set to come but a team mate got injured etc. Our recruitment team were spinning plates, so it's possible that a quick loan deal was signed on the understanding it was always going to be converted.
Just a Rafa quote
Rafa on Krul's move: "He knew our decision. They announce now but we knew before: I wish him all the best. We have enough keepers." #bhafc
The one factor against Krul playing on Sunday is any weakness he has ( The Fish has hinted at weakness with crosses) Newcastle will know.
That would be countered by Krul knowing where the Magpies tend to shoot, aim etc.
I doubt very much that is the case. Krul has worked with Hughton before, so know each other well. I think the loan was because Newcastle were delaying letting him go. I have no proof, just a hunch.
We are Premier League so need two top class keepers as a minimum.
It's a one year loan converted to a one year deal. He's also available on a free next summer, so I fully expect him to be offered another contract. He and Chris have worked together before so know what to expect from each other.
