Signed Max Stryjek

[Dan1el]

Sounds like a proper challenger for the no 1. I've still to be sold on Mcrorie, this isnt a young loan backup keeper signing in case of an injury to Mcrorie

What next be new signing after Max Stryjek sign deal done

Lekovic 2.0 (hopefully)

Anyone know what the situation is as regards work permit? Presumably the club - administratively - will have had to go through a few hoops to sign him? 

[TopSkora]

He was in the UK for over a decade, and moved here pre-Brexit, so could be a citizen or permanent resident potentially.

Undisclosed fee ? Expect for a move across borders it’s minimum 2 year deal. 

Mentions in his interview being allowed to move on for free so probably they've released him to us.

Would hope so. We’ve not got a good return on investment from the last sub goalkeeper we bought so hopefully we’ve learned a lesson there.

In his interview he confidently mentions 'getting back to playing again' and how it was a difficult spell not playing... it understand how he's speaking that he thinks he's been brought in as no1. Also indicated by use potentially paying a fee, would be silly to pay when there are other adequate backup keepers out there avaliable for nothing 

There’s no mention of a fee being paid, just an undisclosed arrangement. More likely were taking on signing bonuses or salary commitments they had.

He looks utterly mental. Love him already

Thanks for that @Ewan Paton Any reason why that wasn’t announced/ confirmed by the club?

No problem. And your guess is as good as mine.

Max said in his interview that his previous Club agreed no fee for letting him go.

Solid keeper if he can screw the nut and cut out the daft off-field stuff. 
 

Good luck to him! An upgrade on O’Hara imo. 

He Polish and a goalkeeper. Of course hes going to be a bit mental.

I agree with you, that’s what I was pointing out previously

Evidence is mounting that manager trying to offload McCrorie from the wage bill. He has clearly not asked mad max to come here as backup. Beach looks earmarked for that role IF we can find a taker for McCrorie.

McCrorie and O'Hara were of a similar standard last season. Are Stryjek and Beach of a similar standard to each other ? Seems a big risk to have an inexperienced goalkeeper as backup to Stryjek. Still think McCrorie will be here at the start of the season.

Lekovic was a huge talent. Vastly underrated. Hugely eccentric and a little erratic and prone to weird decisions. Shot stopping wise he was top class. I loved the guy. We really got a gem there and I was honestly surprised we kept him so long and he did not get more caps. Although saw him play once and he had a nightmare, dude could be highly emotional and lose the plot. 
 

Probably had more consistent keepers but talent wise he the best I seen at Killie by some distance.

persoally don't feel the budget is being utilised well for two keepers on the sort of wages I assume they will both be on. I think McCrorie has been subject to unfair criticism, but signing Stryjek makes me think he is off soon.
