Hoof_It_Nev Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 On SSN news bar: "Bristol Rovers boss John Ward says club in talks with Everton and Arsenal over goalkeeper Matt Macey" Never heard of him, anyone know anything about him?

Toffee_in_LA Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hard for me to believe that we are going after another goalkeeper, seeing that we just brought in Robles. Still, can't say that I know anything about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, can't say that I know anything about him. We've only got two, real senior goalkeepers. Wouldn't shock me as most clubs carry 3.

I guess you don't consider Springthorpe a senior GK? I will say that I don't know how old he is off the top of my head (19 is my guess) and I would not want him playing if heaven forbid something happened to TImmy and Robles.

He may technically be a senior player, I'm not sure, but I don't want him in between the sticks. He's young, has no experience, and doesn't seem to be a highly rated/big up and comer.

codders78 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 A big lump but still yet to make an appearance for Bristol Rovers first team. Rovers have a great academy and reputation for producing good young players but I would want to see him make first team appearances before signing him. They have Macey and Conner Grant as good prospects in the keeper department and Macey probably just shades the decision on who is best. Apparently he is just on a week by week contract though which seems odd as he is held in high regard by the Rovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efc1111 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 He's already had a trial with Arsenal and they're interested in signing him, according to the Mirror yesterday: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-set-renew-interest-teenage-2319379 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
