No, we aren't. It might not happen often but it isn't extreme.

It is extreme a 3rd choice keeper starting in the PL.
Would be interested to see the examples, I literally can't recall any.
Fair enough if you can......

Quite clearly you have no idea.

Agreed. You simply cannot see that Ryan was a poor signing, Total denial
The point being it is far too early to tell but you've made your mind up that Australia's number 1 is too small and not good enough for us - the first point being inconsequential and the second unproven. The way this will go now is that every save he makes will be greeted with "decent save but I'd expect a keeper to save that" and every mistake will be greeted by "see, I told you he was crap" and THAT'S why i despair of our fans sometimes - once they get their claws into a player they never let go. Stockdale had to go through this nonsense too with some, even till the day he left, refusing to admit he was decent.
I'll say what I've said before - you might be right, but you really can't be sure of that after THREE games. I will say that he's not been great for his national side either in recent games.Agreed. You simply cannot see that Ryan was a poor signing, Total denial
Still, personally I'll stake a view at the end of October.

The manager tells the recruiting team what he wants, they find it, and the CEO negotiates. So really, you're blaming Hughton and/or Roberts.

strong and stable with me, or...
Exactly where I am. He's new to the country, the team, the league, he's had 3 games, couple of friendlies and he's a right off for some. Why do our scouts watch players for hours and hours, and yet many of our fans can decide within 4 1/2!?
He's not had a great start, he's clearly lacking some confidence, he may turn out to be a bad signing for this division, BUT, I think I'll join you in giving him a bit of time.
Yes, I don't agree from that perspective.
Don't have a problem saying that, seems a non-percentage move, nothing has happened to change my opinion. Think Sanchez is capable enough for the bench.
Hughton is a great manager, Roberts is a great coach. The criticism of Hughton from Norwich is that of being risk averse, nothing wrong with that, which perhaps explains the desire for a third experienced keeper.
Including Krul we now have 3 very competent keepers all of whom could play.
The question is if you don't play Krul is it a loan wasted? Perhaps AZ Gull got it right re HGPs.
Could the loan been used elsewhere?
Did you find any more examples?

I don't need to, and you've narrowed the field somewhat. Brighton have had two examples in 4 years.
Chris Hughton knows Krul, a loan is generally only wages, and then we can sign him on a free next season.
As Andone and Dwemena showed, we wanted to buy players not borrow them. Injuries are what hurt us, not loans.
Ok even Brighton, twice in some 180 games seems extreme to me.....
Good point re Krul the future likelihood of a 'free'. Presumably we'd then release Maenppa.
Will just have to disagree re loans. How many other top level clubs (not Wigan) use loans on a GK?
PS - not doubting the bad luck we encountered.

I have no idea. I don't take much notice of what other clubs do re; loans.

Exactly. And we were a failed medical and a very last minute deal breaker away from having just about the perfect window. So close to pulling it off.

If you can't score them, then whatever you do don't let them in! Defence has been easier to recruit at the moment, for me it's more a case of that!
"French club Lille turned down the chance to sign Vincent Janssen because their manager Marcelo Bielsa had doubts over the Tottenham striker’s technique."
