Tips For Selling Goalkeeper’s On eBay!
April 29, 2007
Poor Dida, after 25 whopping bids from an international marketplace you are only worth a pitiful 71 Euros. Sad really for a goalkeeper of Dida’s calibre, but overall it was a damned funny plot staged by an angry AC Milan fan. So my thought is now to create a bidding page for top-flight goalkeeper flops from around the globe, we can pass on any proceeds to charity…that would be great. Following are some great reasons why any top-flight goalkeeper should be sold on the almighty eBay.
1. Nutties during competition, disgraceful, but at least worth a minimum bid of around .25 cents.
2. Catching nothing but thin air whilst calling "keeper" during a crossing situation. Sinful, but worth at least a 1 dollar starting bid.
3. Mis-kicking the baby perfect back pass whilst on a super schmick pitch like Old Trafford…bloody aweful. Deserve 50 bucks for that.
4. Sticking to your line like a pansy. Your winning bid may just buy you a tutu.
5. Getting beaten on your near post. Priceless, and you deserve to be paddle whipped by your team mates at games end.
Seriously, although I jest above, there are many situations that goalkeepers should never have to face during competition. Sometimes the main reasons why we goalkeeeprs end up creating the same old mistakes during match time is that we lack preparedness, or perhaps forget to refine technique or our training regime during the training week. It’s easy to forget that your growth as a competitive goalkeeper depends on refining your training processes. So, remember to establish training goals that are "measurable" week in and week out. If not, you might risk being sold by your team mates on eBay to the highest bidder!














This certainly makes a good point. I’d like to see the response of others on this topic. Makes interesting reading.
