At the time, he was our record signing. We have bought more expensive players since, as BG said. He still remains our most expensive GK though.

Ryan WAS reported in the media as our 'record signing' with the 'undisclosed' fee being reported variously between £3.5m and €5.3m.

The club have since contradicted that though. In their transfer round up of the window, they clearly state that the club's transfer record was broken TWICE during the window (which would mean Propper and Izquierdo), thus suggesting that Ryan's fee was lower than the (undisclosed but reported between £2.6m and £3.2m) fee paid for Shane Duffy.

Pretty sure Paul Barber has said a good few times in press that, as has Hughton, that we broke our record 3 times...

EDIT: Link that states three time in the second paragraph... https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2017/september/blooms-message-to-supporters/

Brother went to the cup game and reckoned that Krul was a vast improvement and should play Sunday but again it is 1 mans opinion and not the one that matters.

After a couple of shaky moments in his first games, Ryan has put in three successive faultless performances, and tops the Premier League stats for catches. How can Krul's display be a 'vast improvement' on that? :shrug:

I also heard that Krul played very well, and I'm a fan of his - just don't see why one decent showing from him should be used as a stick to beat (an in-form) Ryan with.

Don't think you can drop Ryan at this point. Nothing he could've done with either Bournemouth goal and he had a good game vs West Brom. Main thing is we have real competition now

It's good news as Krul playing well will keep Ryan on his toes, tbf i thought he looked shaky for first 3 games but since then has looked ok, will be interesting to see who starts on Sunday

That's the problem with 'undisclosed' fees, isn't it (time the FA/PL made disclosure a condition of registration and put an end to the practice, IMHO, but that's another matter). Duffy was widely reported as £4M at the time - our record up to then - and Ryan was reported as around £5M (or €6M) - so, more than Duffy, and a new record. Didn't stand as a record for long, just until we bought Propper in fact, but still obviously our record for a GK.

Allegedly...................

BensGrandad · Sep 22, 2017

IMHO Ryan has improved each game but I still do not have the confidence in him that he wont make a b...s.up. Krul is an acknowledge competent keeper so CH has a selection problem, lets hope he calls it right.

Thunder Bolt · Sep 22, 2017

The one factor against Krul playing on Sunday is any weakness he has ( [MENTION=35039]The Fish[/MENTION] has hinted at weakness with crosses) Newcastle will know.
That would be countered by Krul knowing where the Magpies tend to shoot, aim etc.

Given how Newcastle scored their equaliser at the Amex last season, even the Newcastle players themselves have no idea when they are shooting, let alone where the ball is going.

BensGrandad · Sep 22, 2017

Perhaps the answer would be for Ryan to start then have a minor injury forcing him off and be replaced by Krul thus keeping everybody happy

So you're suggesting we have to play Krul to be kind?

In the right measure - yes

"They announce now but we knew before.." Is he saying they (NUFC) were allowing him to sign permanently earlier but for some reason we didn't want to convert or announce the loan to a permanent sooner or just lost in translation?

Gully Forever · Sep 23, 2017

Has to be a no brainer that he starts against Newcastle, There goals have come from set pieces.

I would think that they wanted to sign him but were unable to complete the deal by the deadline closing so we took him on loan knowing we would complete the deal soon after.

Can't open that at work, what's the tweet from the highly reliable Andy Naylor?

The same Andy Naylor that claims Newcastle fans were expecting a European placed finish to the season because of our decent start, despite that being unmitigated horse shit. :lolol:
