He is an average keeper and they are ten a pennyI think we heard that Pears was on a few hundred quid a week. I wonder if he felt let down by an offer of a one year deal that came in way short of his teammates.
Letting him go for peanuts when he have only that clown Stojanovic for next season is massively short sited. Let's just hope someone can lubricate Bettenellis back so he can start getting down without using a zimmerframe
I'm really hoping thinks have just gone badly for him. If what we have seen is his true capability, he will soon have the tag as the worst ever Boro keeper.World class?? You been reading the gazette much? The Brooks one he was only a few yards from it he could have taken a step to the left and caught it completely hollywood. Then one was blasted straight at him just hit him. The save from Lerma at the end was the best but even that was fairly routine for me. Are you forgetting how he took an age to get down for the goal and flapped a corner out of play under no pressure leading up to it and the amount of times the ball trickles past him near post. Hes sh!te

Too early to tell, but I would think there will be a buy back and sell on clause, and he would jump at coming back 3 years from now if it's all going wellHe will have a better career than Bettinelli and Stojanovic I.M.O.
Which counts for fxxk all I know but thats my opinion anyone else care to offer theirs ?
The flap out of the ball for the corner that led to the Bournemouth goal didn't help.He cost us 3 points against Bournenouth and 3 points against QPR with poor goalkeeping. I'm sorry but the Bournemouth goal was in arms reach it was about a yard away from him his reactions were just so slow the ball was long past him before he was in a position to save. He also got us knocked out of the cup against Barnsley with 2 poor peices of goalkeeping beaten at his near post. Out of the 2 games he wasnt at fault for the goals he didnt have another save to make. I hope he improves but at this moment in time hes not better than Pears.
2 goals that make your stomach queasy. As you say not enough time to judge.Bettinellli has not had enough to do yet to judge him properly but I think there are things to worry about When there is a good move and a tap in or a ripper that makes the net bulge you say fair dos. But he has let in goals that make you feel queasy in your stomach afterwards. I hope he improves cos he is the goalie that we've got and we've got to live with that.
Pears is a good young keeper who had an difficult spell as no 1 in a team used to losing. He definitely has the ability and awareness to make a top keeper for his sake I hope he does.
Stojanovic well I hope he has got his difficult first season over with because he is going to be needed.
If asked who I preferred to be in goal today I would say Bettinellli
If you asked me a few days ago I would have said Pears.
