Can someone explain to me why they borrowed Radu in the first place?
Neto will be out for a few weeks. According to the coach, if everything goes well, he should be back after the next international break – i.e. three games in the league that he will miss. That’s exactly why they hired Radu as the second goalkeeper, didn’t they? Even if he were to fail, such a return operation could still have been carried out.
Neto hasn’t exactly convinced this season so far and he as number 1 and captain is a legacy of Gary O’Neill, Travers knows club and league, if he delivers now and secures Iraola’s position, Neto will be back on the bench like he was under Parker.
Radu didn’t exactly shine in the Carabao Cup against Swansea (2 shots on goal, 2 goals)
