Villaphan04 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 IIRC he came here over Juve in the summer because he wanted to actually get some game time. Why on earth would he leave us to go there without guaranteed game time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean he'll be as good as one of the best keepers of all time. I think he's really talented. Commanding, brave, great shot stopper. No issues with his distribution. Just needs to sort his foot work out a touch. He's got all the raw ingredients. Even if he didn't improve much from here, he's a solid keeper and I trust him. Though all of this is based on 13 games so to be taken with a pinch of salt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2016 Methinks one dodgy newspaper report saying an Italian giant wants him and some may revise their opinion. We need experience in that position, this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Heir to Buffon" implies he'll eventually replace him. Donnarumma or Perin will be next in line. He's a decent keeper, but it's a silly statement.

Chicken Field Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I like Gollini, he reminds me A LOT of De Gea when he arrived at Utd. good shot stopper, decent overall, but too many silly mistakes and when parrying the ball, he needs to get it further away from danger, just like De Gea's first season. Think Gollini could turn out to be our best signing this summer and turn into a good keeper for us for many seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think Golly has a touch of class about him. He's still young and learner but I've no doubt he will get better and be a very good keeper. He seems a very likeable character too. Like others have said he's not the only keeper that's made mistakes when first playing over here, Bravo hasn't exactly been perfect at City.

VILLAMARV Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Kept us in it today. MOTM for me. Great save from Maghoma 2nd half and the goal line save in the 1st. Keep it up lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best young keeper we have had since bosnich - gollini will be fine for us . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I got to admit, i thought we made a huge mistake going into the season with this guy as our number 1 after a couple of blunders he made early on. Not only has my opinion changed on that score, i actually think this guy has the potential to be a very good keeper. Or has Harry would say, a top, top, top player.

It's Your Round Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 His class was there to see from the start, he made a few mistakes that cost us but you could see he was good. He's young and will make mistakes but I'm confident he'll be a great keeper for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2016 Good permformance today, seems to have settled more now and perhaps the nerves aren't jangling so much. Good lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Has a similar start to his England adventure as to what David De Gea had at Manure. Shaky start with a couple of costly mistakes, some problems with the physical side of English football, but steadily growing into it. Not making any comparison other than they are/where both young and gangly. Has looked really promising in the last few games, think he'll turn out to be a great signing for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Starting to really like him. Being ultra critical, I think when Donaldson had that one off the line, the ball was in the air long enough for him to come and get something on it. But done enough to keep it out. Looking very solid for me though on the whole, as I said from that start looking like the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 He is starting to earn back some of the points he cost us earlier in the season, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yes much improved helped in no small amount by the improvement throughout the team. Would have lost today but correct a brilliant save in a 1 on 1 situation so yes is making up for previous lost points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yup, like him alot. I am hoping he can be part of a nucleus of a strong young spine for years to come! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm sure a clanger isn't too far away as he's still learning but generally since the dodgy first few weeks I think he's been quietly impressive In goal and will continue to improve with more experience of English football.
