[Albion] Kjell Scherpen - Albion in talks with Ajax Goalkeeper (Signed 16/07/2021)

[GT49er]

I’ll be honest, I’d totally forgotten he was still here

Has he ever actually been here -apart from pre-season training? Same question as per Sima, Gyokeres, Clarke and others!

Eight appearances in a Brighton shirt by Gyokeres, the rest not really!

Scherpen has played for us in the FA Cup.

Did he? PL - or just cup/pre-season etc.

All cup appearances - which surely count for more than pre season friendlies?

Not sure these days - pre-season friendlies? Being trialled for possible inclusion in the squad. Cup games? = you ain't going to play in the PL, but we'll offer a sop to keep you onside.

I remember Scherpen being our sub keeper at Anfield in that game where Mwepu curled in that long-range beauty. Only really remember because of watching the pre-match drills and thinking how massive he was. He even made Sanchez look diminutive; it would have been comical to watch him warm up with Mat Ryan.

You might feel differently if we ever win a cup I guess!

And I was someone who thought he looked way out of his depth and bit useless

Scherpen takes Verbruggen's vacated spot in the Dutch squad.

Vacated ? Is he injured?

Yes

He wasn’t our sub keeper that day. Steele was on the bench. Scherpen would have been there as the third keeper that we always take to a game just in case one gets injured in the warm up. He’d have been on the pitch helping warm up the two keepers in the squad.

He’s played for us once in the 2-1 aet Fa Cup win over West Brom in 21-22 season. He’s been on the bench 8 times in the PL and twice in the EFL Cup.
