Antonin Kinsky

I hope I'm wrong, but I worry about this, I think he's levels behind Vic and its a mistake to think he is good enough to be our starting keeper, but it looks like that is whats happening.
 
We signed him last year on a six and a half year deal(?).
If that’s true, wouldn’t have necessarily thought a new contract was of the utmost urgency at this particular juncture? As in, make him the starter now and give him a season or so to offer more clarity?

He probably had a release clause in the contract and this was to remove it. They have always been common among young goalkeepers.
 
Also, simply to demonstrate our commitment to him as number 1 by boosting his wages. And to demonstrate to other players that we’ll do right by them when they progress even if we had them on longer terms.

Yep. He probably had a clause in his contract already that would kick in if he got a certain number of Prem games and this just gets ahead of it. Also sends a message to the young players in the squad that if you do prove yourself you will be rewarded at a time when Bergvall & Vuskovic are wanting to jump ship rather than fight for their spot.

Goalkeeping is a unique position. Everywhere else on the pitch commotion for places pushes those players to perform better. At Goalkeeper, it’s actually the opposite more often than not. I genuinely beleive Kinsky will perform even better due to the confidence RDZ has given him and just play regular football again.
