There’s no bigger sign than this: an anagram of Asmir Begovic is orgasmic vibe.43

Begovic is an interesting one. Possibly only exciting because of the player he was. That said, I am hoping that whoever is put no 1 next season will be facing fewer shots so what we need more than anything is an experienced keeper who can command his area and bark instructions to his defenders so he could well do that job.
Biggest problem for me has been a succession of keepers who seem far too quiet although frankly our entire defence has been.

About 10 years ago we played against a team (probably Birmingham) with Jack Butland in goal during one of his loans from Stoke while Begovic was their #1. A bloke in front of me in the Covered End - blessed with a perfect booming, slightly husky 'shouting at football' voice - spent the whole game screaming 'BEEEEEEGOOOOOVIC' at Butland whenever he had any involvement in play. To this day it's the first thing I think of whenever the name comes up and for that reason alone I'd absolutely love us to make it happen.13

100%. A defence needs a marshall. Ideally it’s your Jason Pearce type at CB but a goalkeeper with a voice is just as important. Hopefully we’ll have two next season in Mitchell and Begovic (?). I think we’ve lacked any pulling a team up by the boot laces leader since Pearce and it’s showed. Strikes me Jones has a very good handle on what’s a necessity in his teams. Lots of games won’t be going our way next season and it’s at those times a voice and inspiration on the pitch is required.IanJRO said:Begovic is an interesting one.

I just don’t know about Begovic. I think some of the excitement I’ve seen is way overboard - are people just getting giddy because we haven’t had any signings in a couple of weeks?
Better than what we have in Isted & AMB probably. But doesn’t scream promotion goalkeeper at me. This feels more like a “NJ at Stoke” signing than it does “NJ at Luton” signing.
Hope I’m wrong if it does happen.6 -
Think the benefit people are seeing is that we have a relatively young defence and Begovic will be able to command them and his area better than what AMB/IstedCallumcafc said:I just don’t know about Begovic.

Despite some QPR naysayers, I reckon he’d be a good signing. We’ve massively missed players with experience and guile over the last few years, particularly at the back.Begovic has captained some of his former clubs and is an experienced pro who would bark at the defence, and the ref.Hope this one happens.1

Are people Fawning over Begovic because he's a player we actually know and used to be good?
45 games in the Championship last season does excite me but he seems to get mixed reviews last season. Experienced keeper could be great for the defence and will help Mannion to come in as our number 1 soon, but something feels a bit off about it. I will ask my QPR mate his thoughts on him.2 -
We can’t afford to take a punt on someone coming good. A GK that has played at the highest level who reads the game, commands his box and respect of his defence is vocal and has confidence through experience is exactly what’s required to win promotion.Callumcafc said:I just don’t know about Begovic.

I think a promotion keeper is a pretty varied thing. Did Dillon Phillips, a keeper who had just had a pretty good National League loan scream promotion keeper? Or Hamer who had had one L1 season on loan at two different clubs? I don’t think I would have been that bothered about having Will Norris or Michael Cooper but they’ve won the league in the past couple of years. Keepers are weird, if the overall team blend is right you can end up with insane things like Neil Etheridge playing 38 premier league games off the back of some momentum. Jones obviously wants that extra bit of experience to help out the defence as it gels and for Mannion to take something positive from the experience as well. I also think having a keeper who is very much at the higher end of the age scale means it’s easier to rotate and then ease him out. I wouldn’t be at all shocked if Mannion ends the season as number 1 after a period of developmentCallumcafc said:I just don’t know about Begovic.

Mannion is the prospect, I can dig Begovic coming in to be the veteran leader that shows him the way1

It’s obvious that Jones doesn’t consider any of our three current keepers ready to start the season as number one. Mannion is also obviously considered to be the medium term future. In the short term Jones wants experience not potential. All of the GK’s we’ve been linked to and missed out on fit that bill of experience and age. No idea whether Begovic will sign but he fits the profile of what we’ve been looking for.5

i think Begovic is a great signing on paper, however i always wait until we see the player himself in our shirt. He was on talksport yesterday and from the things he was saying about his next club, im pretty convinced he will be our #1 this year. Last season in a poor QPR team, despite their fans assessment of him, he kept 12 clean sheets in 45 games. not bad going if you ask me in a side that looked destined to be in our league at one point.1

Thanks and as soon as you’ve heard back from your QPR mate, and shared his intel’ here, we’ll be sure to pass it on ASAP to Nathan and co. Important to keep the lines of communication open.cafcsinger said:Are people Fawning over Begovic because he's a player we actually know and used to be good?

Begovic was long gone by the time Jones joined Stoke in 2019. He was with Chelsea in 2015.Callumcafc said:I just don’t know about Begovic. I think some of the excitement I’ve seen is way overboard - are people just getting giddy because we haven’t had any signings in a couple of weeks?

Think Callum means he wasn't the type of signing he would make at Stoke, not that he did sign him for Stoke.995632 said:

On a side note, really surprised it's been 9 years since he signed for Chelsea, I remember that and would have said it was more 2017/2018.4 -
Begovic feels a bit like Ben Foster at Wrexham, might do for a season, but not sure he's at an age or skill level still to contend in the league above.
A 1 year deal, with a an option of another, may make sense from both a coaching of other keepers and to ensure he is still as good as we need him to be...3 -

When the players are spraying champagne from the top of the open top bus next May, I doubt anyone will care that Begovic isn't a long term signingDazzler21 said:Begovic feels a bit like Ben Foster at Wrexham, might do for a season, but not sure he's at an age or skill level still to contend in the league above.
