Nardi to be sold ?WHY |  | | |  |
| keeper on 08:52 - Jul 12 with 3591 views | Tonto |
A frw thoughts:
1 is Nardi good yes, brilliant no. His refusal to come off his line is a problem.
2: is we can sell.him then it will be a profit
3: we have a LOT of keepers at the club. Would you rather have 5 keeprs and sell a couple or a new LB or striker?
4: there doesnt appear to be a massive drop off from Nardi to Walsh (aee poi ts 1 to 3 above)
5. The club model.is to develop you gsters and sell.ln. Walsh will gain no value getting bench splintersin his arse |  |

Understand giving Walsh an opportunity, but why sell Nardi now also !!! |  |

Not seen anywhere he’s to be sold but there was a rumour the other day that we were signing a new keeper to be #2 . Who knows 🤷♂️ |  |

It should be said that this is only a rumour and not a fact. |  | | |

The club has declared that he’s no longer a ‘keeper’ and therefore can be sold. | |

If you look through the squad at what players could be sold and we have decent back up for you'll not come up with much. Possibly Nardi and Chair. You sometimes need to do that to create funds to strengthen other areas, especially if your budget has been dented by settling a manager out and hiring a new manager before you've even started.
One thing Nourry has done well with in my opinion is moving players on. Getting fees for Dykes, Armstrong etc has really helped when finances are tight.
It's a risk but replacing Nardi with Walsh and some transfer budget might be a good bit of business if they can find a buyer. |  | | |

I heard from a very reliable source we are buying a back up keeper. Not sure who. Makes me think Walsh will step up and we will get this number 2 with Nardi being sold. | | | |

Keepers always have been a breed all of their own 😊
In any other position, having a good up and coming player challenging the first choice would be great. Kieran Morgan starting a few games this season and coming off the bench for a few more would be a great way to continue his development without the added pressure of being first choice
Imagine a 65th minute substitution where Walsh comes on for Nardi to give him some experience. It would seem insane.
Or a scenario where Nardi is rested for the third game in a three game week.
It's a shame we can't do things a little differently and tell Nardi that he's only likely to start around 30 or so games this season so we can have a longer look at Joe Walsh. Maybe they have tried that and he's said no but we'll never know.
If some sort of phased hand over of the gloves is not possible then selling Nardi to give the nod to Walsh seems risky but, I think, ultimately the right decision.
It also suggests that the club is committed to the future success of the club over eeking out every single possible point in the current season | | | |

Sell Nardi. Walsh to be number 1
It is a bold move, but one I support
We have been saying for years we are not profiting from players sales when their stake is “high” and while still contracted
If we make business by selling Nardi, I won’t argue against that |  |

Walsh is having an absolute nightmare in the friendly today and will be a huge risk to start the season with him playing like this.
If QPR can sign another keeper with 1st team experience, then yes, sell Nardi. I wasn’t very impressed with him last season . He is a decent shot stopper, but didn’t command his area very well and QPR conceded way too many goals imo. | | | |

Why don't we understand that having a keeper who comes for crosses is not the panacea for our goalkeeping ills. Goalkeeping as an art or even as a science has moved on and so do we. Nardi is an excellent keeper and we are lucky to have him but this constant carping about him not coming for crosses is ridiculous. All this calling for Walsh to be our number 1 keeper because he comes for crosses is pointless if you can't interact with your defenders/midfielders. Most successful international sides do not choose their keepers for their ability due to come out for crosses. Remind me again when the men's national team last won a major trophy and was it because of their goalkeeping skills? |  | | |

The basics for any keeper have always been the same such as shot stopping, handling, positioning, good liaison with the defence and quick reactive skills. However, goalkeeping has progressed immeasurably in the last decade. Now, in addition to the above, what teams look for are calmness on the ball when under pressure, good and flexible distribution skills and the ability to play as the last man as a sweeper type hence the ability to be confident with both feet. Coming out for crossing may be necessary to alleviate pressure on the defence and it is a great skill but it shouldn't be seen as the reason as to why a player should be retained or not. | | | |

The case for Walsh seems to be meaningless end of season games as opposed to the 40 odd games of Nardi spending a considerable portion of his time fending off teams with intent.
Not really a case at all if you ask me. |  | | |

Goalkeepers mature later than outfield players. 31 is a good age for a GK.
If Nardi has been told he won't be first choice then given his age he probably wants to be playing rather than sitting on the bench and would be happy to leave, regardless of whether we are also trying to nudge him out. | | | |

Nardi rivalled Jimmy for POTS plus he seems to buy into the club and really want to win. Would be daft to get rid of him IMO. |  |

You make good points which are, of course, true. I'd add that commanding the penalty box is an ability that's looked for - something Nardi doesn't do. But also that an ability to claim crosses, free kicks and corners aerially
is a requirement for a decent keeper. | | | |

Are you saying because of this he isn't a decent keeper? Nardi has singlehandedly kept us in many games last year and now we're bombing him out because of this view that he doesn't come for crosses which, by the way, is not entirely true. I recall a game late on when he came and claimed a high ball at the School End and receives a smack to the head which required lengthy treatment. | | | |

For me the problem with Nardi is not so much the crosses but the lack of command of his six yard area.
Good shot stopper, gets the club. I have no problem with moving him on but only if he is replaced with someone of equal quality, obviously.
Overall the keeper is the least of our problems. |  | | |

I'd say he's about average for the Championship. He has strengths and weaknesses but is probably as good as we could recruit just now.
I remember the cross Nardi claimed that you note but for me it's memorable because he so rarely did it.
Whether Walsh becomes a better keeper or not than Nardi is hard to say but whatever the case, I think he'll be a better catcher of crosses. | | | |

Do not believe it........
Unless someone is lined up to replace Nardi. To go into a new season with Walsh as No1 is not good. Not even sure that he is good enough. | | | |
