purestate Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago These saves are all very well but where’s the showreel of him playing sweeper and triangles in his penalty area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one around 5:12 tells me he'll fit right in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Word on the street is his name is Alex Paulsen 🤪🤪 Looks like a potentially good signing and hopefully Matty can mount a challenge also so we have healthy competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFCL84 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Some very scary footwork in that Paulsen video. He does seem to enjoy dribbling the ball out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Rene Higuita was a master at that. He'd be worth a fortune these days with how teams play. Instead, he was seen as a novelty maniac back then when he was clearly ahead of his time. Saying that, he did get jailed for being part of a kidnapping fiasco involving Pablo Escobar, so maybe he was a maniac regardless. He could hit a tasty free kick as well...

The original El Loco with his scorpion kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFCL84 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I don't want to see.any of that at Fir Park. I want my goalie to be very sensible and level headed. Hugh Sproat was as flamboyant a keeper as I ever want to see at Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago His official height is 6-0. Presumaby then, Matty is 5-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Some of those saves make me think of Gunnar Neilsen's showreel with the way that he flaps at shots. Looks good with his feet though, so hopefully he'll turn out to be an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same quality's as Ward biggest asset is passing it out to start things off hopefully will be better than Ward in the other departments.

Looks good with his feet though, so hopefully he'll turn out to be an asset. Seems to be agile and a very good shot stopper. Apparently played outfield early in his career and looks to be comfortable with the ball at his feet. Likes to save penalties as well. Should be a good fit for our system. At first sight similar to Callum Ward, even down to the transfer fee. Not the biggest keeper in the world and I doubt he'll make it in the Premier League but good enough to help us out in our hour or season of need. There's bucketloads of very good keepers in England so he'll have plenty of competition if he returns down there. I always think that loans can be risky but in our situation, we probably didn't have much choice. I suspect he'll be our no 1 and therefore I feel sorry for Matty Connelly but I can't ever see him being anything more than back up at best for us.
