Jimmy floyd Hasselbaink gk coach????


Recommended Posts

When i went to backroom advice they said i should sign Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as a goalkeeping coach, i did so and his GK stats are really poor. I know he was a stiker before anyone says that but why would he retire then turn into a gk coach?? :confused:

Prime example of why you should look into who you are being told to sign and what position. It was probably based on reputation alone.

But he may have become a goalkeeping coach because strikers know how a keeper should act in certain situations in order to prevent them scoring, its not uncommon.

I believe Alan Shearer was a Goalie before he turned into a striker. He was reported to say that being a GK helped him when he played up front as he had an idea on how a GK would think and react in certain situations....so maybe this could work the other way? Not sure though...

I think i will sack the one that game me that great bit of advice :D

And dont forget to sack the goalkeeping coach who cant coach gk's ;)

But seriously mate from my experience of the game anyway I wouldn't take much notice of the staff suggestions by your backroom staff. usually the people they suggest are rubbish. I'd look for my own staff if i were you :)

I know that i have my own staff, guess i just need to get rid of some of the crap ones i start off with.

Diego maradona was a defender to start with before he became professional, pele says in his book that he rates himself as a very good goalkeeper :)

This is good to know, i didnt realise so many players that were not goalkeepers turn out to be gk coaches. I just thought it was a little bit unrealistic but that i guess has proven me wrong. :)

I had this before, during a backroom meeting they suggested staff i should sign, So i did. Then in another backroom meeting they recomended i sign this youth coach. I clicked on him and to my suprise his working with youngsters was 3!!!

I never checked before and most of the staff i signed before had wrong attributes to what i had signed them for. Never sign anyone they recomend to me now. lol

Theres quite a few outfield players that are goalies, from a quick skim through:

Alen Boksic (Croatia)

Tony Cottee

Steve Harkness (I think he was a defender wasnt he?)

Ken Monkou (Southampton defender!)

Nuno Valente (!)

Trevor Sinclair

Tony Cottee? But he's only about 3'5" is he not?
