I'd take him over no one/ our current no.2/3/4/5 (we like to buy GK's ), 100%. Many I'd have instead of him, disappointed we couldn't get better or didn't spend that 8mill else where. That's my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't played for Argentina for 3 years. Plenty of GK's ahead of him. Maybe he'll become number one if he's playing regularly? Got about 4 GK's ahead of him atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get 90 caps for Argentina unless you are a pretty decent GK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2020 34 minutes ago, SeanVilla said: You either don't understand or don't believe that a backup GK with less than a year left on his contract is expensive at £7mill. We're not going to get past that so there's no point in having a discussion. Fine he's a great signing and a bargain and can't wait to see him play when we can finally get back into the stadium. For future reference, every player we sign will be better than someone in the squad, so copy and paste what I've put that for every player we sign. Your issue is with the fee then. Not the player. I don’t think it’s expensive, no. Fair enough if you do. But I think turning your nose up at a player of his quality as our number two because of 7m in 2020 is a bit much. It’s neither here nor there really. Maybe we should only be paying 5 for him? I think we’ll survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to be fair, he will be adequate, like the rest of our signings I'm sure. Probably won't do anything spectacular but hopefully we'll be steady. Not sure Grealish will accept another mediocre season, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case Heaton comes back in. Best case Heaton can’t get back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
