And here we have a classic example of someone trying to push the toothpaste back into the tube. Not overly fussed anyway. We've improved since he left, and he's got what he wanted in joining the subs on a big clubs bench. Everybody's happy. We all move on.

Maybe Ryan has taken the Richard Wright career move. Went to Man City in 2012, never played a game, just sat on the bench for 4 years and then retired - extremely rich.

I very much doubt that. Even if he has a blinder for us over the next year or so, playing in the bottom half of the PL for BHA, with no caps and no European experience will not make him a £40/£50m keeper by summer 2022. Pickford went for £25m from Sunderland to Everton in 2017, and was well in...

Regardless of how long we've had him he's only got about a dozen or so PL appearances under his belt. Give it a year and if he's maintained and built on the standards set so far, he'll be a £20m+ asset easily.

We paid about 4.5m for him, and he now has plenty of PL experience. We should be able to at least recoup that in the summer, I'd have thought.

He's starting. On the bench.

Ryan has not saved us any points this season. I cannot recollect a major save where I've thought "wow, thats as good as a goal for us". He's been steady, he's not made any blatant errors, but neither can I recollect him ever properly bailing us out recently. He's gone from being a good PL keeper...

As an aside, its extremely difficult to get a decent experienced No2 goalkeeper in, because they know all they'll be doing 99% of the time is training, travelling, and benchwarming. Outfield players have more of an opportunity to stake a claim or fill in somewhere, but managers tend to "stick"...

Not from the forum I was looking at. He's gone down like a pork chop at a bar mitzvah, including references to his height. https://www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=70522

The manager has made the decision that he no longer wants Ryan in the squad - thats not the players dictating anything. If there's been a personality clash and a major incident between Maupay and Ryan, and as a result created an issue between Potter and Ryan, then if he feels for the sake of the...

He's only got 18 months left on his contract, so can't see us getting all that much for him in the summer.

I think 'best keeper we've ever had' is a bit of a stretch. You've even contradicted yourself in the same sentence. Unless I'm being whooshed.

Maybe this falling out with Maupay has continued to fester, causing a bad atmosphere within the squad. If thats the case and it remained unsolvable between them, then one of them had to go.
