Popular Post romavillan Posted July 6, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Looks done to me, he says goodbye to the fans of Hellas Verona here and says AVFC is a big opportunity. In the video he says he's been round the stadium and it's an incredible stadium befitting a top club as are the training facilities. He's sorry to leave Italy but AVFC is too big an opportunity to knock back. Sky did the interview at the airport with him before his flight to brum. HE also said he had different offers but no-one valued him as highly as Di Matteo as a player. Edited July 6, 2016 by romavillan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yeah, Gollini is not coming here as second choice in my opinion. He will start the season as number 1, assuming all goes well in pre-season of course. I think Bunn will remain as no.2, with the young lad we signed last summer pushing for the no.2 slot. Birmingham Mail say signing is imminent Birmingham Mail reporting that Guzan may go to Middlesbrough Although I have also read that Middlesbrough are looking at Victor Valdes as a possible GK, which may be them turning attentions away from Guzan or mabe a negotiating tactic?

meme Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 But what about the links with Pantilimon? Why would be out for an experienced, good goalkeeper AND Gelloni if the former wasn't going to be first choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list would have been devised by Battara and who knows maybe Gollini was top of that list, our first choice if we could get him. I mean yeah he lacks experience but he's also young enough to be trained into a world class talent, I mean Battara if I recall is largely to thank for Joe Hart being as good as he has been the last 6+ years (ignore the Euros).

StanBalaban Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Gollini and Pantilimon in, Guzan and Bunn out, with Sarkic going out on loan to continue his development sounds a good setup for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I can't see us signing Pantilimon now, don't think he'd leave a prem bench to sit on our bench and he's probably on good wages. Nixon seemed to think the other day that we were after another keeper based in Italy, besides Gollini. Or it might have been Gollini besides another keeper we've been linked with.

I would be happy with Bunn as second choice, so long as he is that. A second choice. Can't see us signing a GK to replace a No.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bobzy Posted July 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2016 Why is everyone forgetting we've already got Jed Steer, who has just completed most of a season being a first choice goalkeeper in the Championship? Guzan and Bunn out, Gollini in. Gollini, Steer and Sarkic as goalkeeping options. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Bunn being 2nd choice is far too close to being first choice. He is awful. I wouldn't want him as third choice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after I promised Dr. Dre I'd never do that again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
