Matt Turner at a palace made of crystals. (Olf Nottingham Forest)

I do not know how reliable that site is.

Lucas Perri is Lyon's starting goalkeeper. There are rumors that Perri could be on the way to Roma. Who knows? If Turner has another season at backup, I think he does not go to the WC. A loan to MLS might make more sense.

 

Awesome for Matt if their #1 is indeed leaving. I'm not sure what Turner has ever done to show that he is at the level of a team that regularly qualifies for continental competitions in a top league. Good luck Matt!

 

Tom Bogert confirmed it, but this price is probably indicates he will be a starter. Ligue 1 clubs have to be fairly judicious with their spending

 

Everyone’s favorite chaotic soccer businessman John Textor.

 

Let's see how the first half of the season goes. Hopefully he can earn the number 1 spot.

 

You have to assume that for $8M he'll be given every opportunity to claim the #1 and he's not being brought in strictly as the backup. I've always been of the opinion that Matt hasn't shown his best stuff since moving to Europe. I hope this provides him the opportunity he needs to do just that.

 

This is his last fvkin chance. Get it done or back to MLS.

 

More like get it done or we don't care anymore.

 

Looks like a completely different NT keeper than the guy who coolly stepped in and handled a World Cup pretty well. He needs regular club play bad, Euro benches (even some relatively high level ones)have seemingly made him regress.

 

2021 GC Turner was great.

That was probably peak Turner.

He looks way worse now.

 

I'm also a fan, but he becomes irrelevant from the NT point of view.

 

The only way he goes to Lyon is if Peri leaves, in which case he's lock starter. Ligue 1's finances are in a parlous state and the other GKs are

• Remy Descamps, who's 28 and has made all of 8 Ligue 1 appearances over 4 seasons and conceded 14 goals in those 8 games, and
• Lassine Diarra, a 22 year-old who has yet to make a senior appearance in any competition.

​

Even Marseille or Monaco don't pay $8m plus $2.7m a year in salary for a GK to sit him. He'll start

 

Turner's agent works miracles!

 

Marinakis says no take backs, you already said yes!

 

What you say makes sense. However, Perri is still there. I'll be happier if/when he is gone.

 

While everything has been agreed in principle, nothing has been signed and is unlikely to be until Perri leaves.

Once he does, Matt joins Lyon. Otherwise, he returns to Forest to wait for developments/alternatives.

 

yeah not playing games will do that to you

i mean ...this was all so predictabel when he moved to arsenal from new england and arteta wanted him to play with his feet

 

So a delay is Perridictable?

 

I had a premonition you would say that!

 

You're both Lyon.

 

Interestingly, Perri also spent a year on loan at Crystal Palace (2019), but he didn’t play.

 

A Perri wrinkle?
