A cheap short term backup, if he turns out to be decent then it's a win-win, if not, no big deal unless Leno gets another long term injury that is. Hopefully in the next 2 seasons or so we bring in a young talented keeper like Emi was when he was 18/19 as a long term replacement strategy, I'm not sure how good our current young goalies are?

Karl Hein and Arthur Okonkwo are highly rated at their age group. Hein is already the Estonian #1.
But signing Rúnar when we have Matt Macey and Deyan Iliev - both homegrown - who could warm the bench then it seems a waste of a spot.

Macey and Iliev are untalented, though. Hein and Okonkwo are the only ones worth looking at and the latter just missed a year of football, I believe. Shame we lost Virginia.
More than likely garbage. But cheap. If Leno gets injured we are in trouble

Runar is untalented and non homegrown.
That's exactly what the world needed, an Icelandic sequel to Forrest Gump.

There are lots of things he has based it on.
Seems like you'd be able to get an equally cheap English goalkeeper to sit on your bench for you, who would likely be as good/bad as this guy, if not better.
He doesn't look physically imposing which to me means he will get eaten alive when the crosses come raining in.

See the OP.
Literally the only glimmer of light is the fact Inaki Pavon worked with him a good few years ago. Although that can be seen as a negative as well. Nothing else positive to say about this move.

Enlightened then
He has 5 caps for Iceland - the last of which came in 2018 - none in competitive fixtures

Who's Iceland number one keeper?
Hopefully he’s not a complete calamity, but don’t want us spending too much on a back up keeper anyway. I expect he’ll only play some early Europa games and league cup games at most if Leno stays fit, which will probably be fine. Worry would be if Leno is injured again we could be in trouble. The club really must not rate Macey and the younger keepers much To be signing this guy. It’s a shame because it’s a great opportunity for a young keeper to get game time
Hopefully it’ll be a short contract so if he’s crap we won’t be stuck with him too long

Selling Emi and replacing him with a scrub? 🤔
Reports are it’s a 5 year deal for him! Guess we will be stuck with him if he flops! Guessing he’ll be on pretty low wages at least though. But I hope he surprises us, won’t judge him until he’s given a fair chance
It's when Leno gets injured not if. Completely "Meh" over this move. Hope he can play but if not and it tanks our season, then serves our damned right. Maybe it'd be a big enough feckin wake up call to the powers that be at this club. Only good thing I see here is the vague charm in the fact he's from Iceland and his initials spell RAR. But since fans can't get in to chant it at penalty takers, even that's ruined.
Just have to hope the footy fates are kind to us on this one and he's some hidden gem. It'd be hilarious to see him turn up and be so outstanding Leno gets dropped early anyway.
