we hate man,u and city to Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Placides ball won us the freekick that lead to bryans great strike today. As others say, this team needs placide. Last seasons was the perfect fit for ripley. The fact hes bench warming at one of the worst teams in the championship, proves we probably bigged ripley up a bit too much.

But Fleetwood had two shots on target yesterday...... Defences gain confidence from keepers and last season was a great example of that, it's not about individuals but the sum of all the parts and that keeper/defensive unit last season just clicked, thats before you even look at the stats.

That’s where i’m at to be honest, Placide clearly has better distribution, has created more “memorable” moments etc, but a GK’s primary job is to keep the ball out of the net, Ripley is better at that, especially 1 v 1.

oldhamoafc Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 People are so quick to forget. It happens all the time with ex players. Wellens, Porter, Hughes, gregan and many more and now Ripley. Regardless of how the team is set up, last year everyone was saying Ripley is the best they have seen for us. And now just cause placide can pass the ball, he’s better than Ripley. He’s our record clean sheet holder... i like placide, more for entertainment value, but he’s not a patch on Ripley.

Ripley my favourite keeper since Gerrard and I'd have had him back in a heartbeat. Just dont think now we have Placide it would be a necessary signing. I think Ripley is the better keeper when it comes to shot stopping but Placide does have far better distribution. I'd be happy with either. Just think that's our least concerning area to be spending money. If we just had Wilson and Ruddy I'd be desperate for him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Bury owner has admitted to Radio Manchester they need to move players out first. Not sure they need a keeper given their other problems. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Doyle go there for the injured Beckford. Heard Fleetwood and Scunny have had their offers accepted for him.

Ripley distribution is something that could improve over time but his natural saving and positioning ability means I vote for Ripley, but I would not be upset in any way by keeping Placide. If I was Bury and was looking at buying a replacement keeper Ripley would easily get my money. For mine he has more chance of making a return on my investment regarding a transfer to the big time.

In what way is Placide being given "leeway"? He's here on a 2 year deal, not a loan (if that's what you meant by "keeping" him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To repeat I'm happy to keep him rather than sell him and replace with Ripley, and as others have mentioned we need other areas of the squad upgrading first. But If I was starting afresh with no keeper in the squad I would choose Ripley first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt a clue where eoin Doyle lives, but if he,s in the Preston area and Fleetwood,s bid has been accepted, he wouldn't have to move. I think any chance on us getting our hands on him would depend on the new owner, who may have his own striker for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did he not receive criticism that he should have? Quite a few went past Ripley he could have done better with too. They can't save them all.

Didn't have a chance with either tbh. If you think ripley saves any of them. You've clearly had too much of the christmas sherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add to the debate, Ripley,s kicking and distribution wasn't great, remember it costing us at Preston, but goalkeepers are always in the firing line for mistakes, placide has mistakes in him.

kowenicki Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Ripley has played twice in the league this season I believe? Loan and fight for the number 1 by all means, but not auto first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If he goes to Bury he will definitely experience relegation which will possibly help his career/character in the long run. Good luck Connor, you’ll need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
