✍️ OFFICIAL Matt Turner (Out)

[Yousif Arsenal]

When we lose to Forest because of a Matt Turner masterclass

pretty sure he'll make world class saves.

 

[LookingForEric]

Any examples of this?

Hi mate you ok. £10M fee in the end like Fab said, what do you think about that?

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

£10m including add ons is alright tbf. More than I thought we'd get.

If it means we get Raya for a net £15m that's pretty decent business.

 

[Paperino]

Mod Edit: calm down

 

[Riou]

Any examples of this?

Actually no not really.

Just don't tempt fate here, is my two cents.

 

[dashsnow17]

For USMNT no 1 10m is lowkey < than expected

 

[NieThePiet]

Everything below 10m fix is poor, don't know how someone can see that different.

It's not like we signed him for 2-3m, we already paid around 6m for him. In that time he has become the Nr. 1 from USA and was solid during the appearances here too. And 29 obviosuly is still no age or a keeper.

He was USA #1 already when Arsenal bought him.

This deal has to be looked at in combination with Raya being a bargain.

You're adding too much context.

People want to complain.

You need to ignore and remove context selectively to complain adequately.

 

[Paperino]

People want to complain.

And you want to defend the club's honor against the evil people that complain and cant see how great every decision made by the club is.

 

[Clrnc]

10m is a reasonable fee. Good job Edu.

If we spend about 25m for Raya, 15m net is a good deal

 

[A_G]

He was USA #1 already when Arsenal bought him.

Zach Steffen was #1. He made that mistake against Liverpool in the FA Semi-Final and the. lost his place to Turner.

 

[field442]

It makes **** all difference whether he's no.1 for the US men's team or not. He's borderline good enough to start for a Premier League team.

 

[db10_therza]

This deal has to be looked at in combination with Raya being a bargain.

Not really- if we let Turner go for free for example just because Raya was on a Bosman I wouldn’t be happy. You need to extract good prices on your sales, AND get good prices on your incomings.

That said, I think 10m is ok for him. 15m would have been exceptional.

 

[drippin]

Zach Steffen was #1. He made that mistake against Liverpool in the FA Semi-Final and the. lost his place to Turner.

Turner played all the Gold Cup 2021 games which they won. And 5/8 of WC qualifiers.

He won the GK of the tournament.

So.. no. Yes some people still thought Steffen has a chance.

So.. no. Yes some people still thought Steffen has a chance.

The US sent a B-Team of mostly MLS players to that Gold Cup. None of the experienced European based players went.

He played in qualifiers when Steffen was injured/had Covid, when he was fit he came back in for the crucial matches at the end.

 

[Paperino]

@A_G humiliating @drippin? The best sign that the new season is close.

 

[Melquiades]

Seems pretty reasonable.

He’s decent enough but isn’t really young or exceptional or possessing a great track record.

They’re turning a profit and this makes the upgrade to Raya pretty affordable.

Okay, so it wasn't so clear yet. But very clear that Turner had given his showings in 2021, the manager still gave a chance to Steffen afterwards, and then switched to Turner with the first mistake as the clearcut #1.

Arsenal bought him in big part because of his NT showings for USA as the #1. And likely predicted with their scouting that this will happen.

 

[Gooner416]

I rate Turner, I wrote a glowing post when AM thought it was another Trusty play. It's clear though he won't challenge Ramsdale and for him to get more chances at PL starts with Schmeichel or whoever else NFFC gets makes a lot of sense. For us to bully for a few extra million just doesn't make sense. Turner is a late bloomer and can't be compared to the City youth keeper (Bazunu etc.) 10m with add ons is fair imo.
