He's a midget isn't he (in goalie terms) I thought the same. He's a borderline dwarf in modern goal keeping terms. Hopefully it doesn't matter too much.

Seems a really genuine guy. He's so likeable and will be a fans favourite. No wonder Rotherham fans love him so much

The language used in the social media is amusing. Fight Works hard He’s a frigging goalkeeper. Can he catch? 🤣 Looking at his highlights he’s very brave. Pretty much tackles the ball away on loads of his saves. I think he’s the type who can get the fans fired up even as a keeper.

Noticed that as well, seems to know the right things to say. I’d have been happy with Iverson as he was getting better and better Hopefully he goes on to be a big hit (Viktor ) It was always going to be who we could get for cheaper and if this fella would actually pick us. It’s a very good deal on the face of it. Isn't he loser though?

Good luck Viktor Johansson, we have needed a GK for some time now.
And I think you could well be him 😊

Great signing! Is a weird one, I always had a feeling he would end up a Stoke when I first saw him at Rotherham. Buzzing to see it happen

Welcome to Stoke City Viktor !
Great signing, excellent keeper, seems to be a really good character on and off the pitch.
To get this done so early I think is a really positive sign and hopefully we've got other players incoming that can steer us in the right direction.
Well done to the club.

Glad to see him signed up very early, a good steady keeper will add a few points to the tally.

Glad to see him signed up very early, a good steady keeper will add a few points to the tally. Having a gobby keeper who the defence know what he's about, when it's his and when it's theirs is a massive plus. A good keeper improves all of the back four and pushes us up 20 yards.

An early signing.
Well done SJW.

Getting good vibes from him already
So unlike Stoke to make a signing this early on!
Hoping he's more Sorenson than Haugaard! 🤞

Good signing. “A Viking that loves a good scrap” according to the official website. Probably not a good choice of words following the 24k recent fine for not controlling our players.

Pretty sure he had a £1 million relegation release clause In the papers and online ive seen 1 million quoted. I also read some where 850k. Great business either way. The fee is only a portion of the deal. The signing on fee for in demand free agents(I know he wasn’t technically one but it’s a very similar situation) tend to be very high. That and his agents fee are likely to be significant. Sure it will all come out eventually it normally does.

If they play like that when they’re not being controlled can they be out of control every game, particularly at home.

He's a midget isn't he (in goalie terms) Have you ever heard of Harry Dowd, Paul Cooper? Was'nt Laurie Sivell a small keeper as well if memory serves me right.

Genuine question - do you think keepers that get goals hammered past them every game, have more chance of looking good, than bad?

Pleased with this, think people need to keep a bit level though! Do we know exactly what the fee was? Why do people need to keep a bit level? He's statistically one of the best keepers in this league and we needed a proper number one. How dare fans get the smallest bit excited. Well, saying he looks like a cult hero for eg - before a ball has been kicked sets expectations unrealistically high doesn't it? (See last year where quite a few on here thought we'd push for automatic.) No one's saying don't get the smallest bit excited, I haven't seen anyone say it's a bad deal, but there's a lot to fulfil before elevating a new signing to legend status.

He hasn't been elevated to legend status there isn't a post that's done that. Saying that he's got the look of a cult hero isn't setting unrealistic expectations either, it's just an observation based on what he looks like. Ultimately, what he does between the sticks from August is all that matters.

Hes going to be a Stoke legend.
Character and ability.
Finally got a keeper sorted.

Fair enough - Thought you were agreeing with the character and abilityUltimately, what he does between the sticks from August is all that matters. Your last line is the important one - its a good signing, just think people are getting carried away and that rarely ends well!
