Butland, Hart, Lloris and now De Gea is going that way after a few mistakes they just dont look the same keeper. Nyland and Prickford on the other hand have great mentalities, pity they are absolute garbage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have 4 senior keepers in the books, admittedly quite a mix of abilities. I'd rather we spent another 20 million on beefing up our winger/forward options than yet another keeper signing unless Heaton is not going to be back this season. I'm with you on this. Rumour has it that we may be without Heaton until next year, although he does seem to be training. I thought Steer could cover for him, until he was fit. He is also training, although I accept that he has been unlucky with injuries. If Heaton will be out for another 3 months then I can appreciate that we may need another keeper, but paying £20m for one? The link to Romero has gone cold and I suspect the same may happen with Martinez. If we do need a keeper would we be better to look at a cheaper option? Etheridge (Cardiff) or Marosi (Coventry) or someone on loan again perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re on top of the ffp thing I think we could be looking to buy a first choice GK. A lot depends on how they view Heaton’s recovery both in terms of time and how completely he recovers. He’s no spring chicken and has a poor injury record for a GK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too rich for us then and as has been said above, he might be reluctant to join us. Let's spend the cash on Buendia instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you asked if Wojciech Szczęsny started for Juve. I replied with Buffon?. Not that I was suggesting to sign him, just thought he was the No.1 at Juve.

villa4europe Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 not anymore he must be doing his badges or something, doesn't play that said I think most Italian clubs have a 40 year old keeper in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 A lot of people are saying "what's the point, we have 4 senior keepers" but in reality we have one senior pro who's been out for 9 months. A poor keeper who's been very poor when called on. A decent championship keeper who's soils but unproven and one keeper who's not in anyone's plans at the club. For me a keeper is third on the list of needs 1 striker (Ollie) 2 winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a 1 year extension with Juve a few months back. Edited September 9, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2020 4 hours ago, VillanousOne said: i know he got a nasty injury but is Jed Steer really that bad that Nyland gets in the team ahead of him? the season we got promoted he was pretty good. It's much of a muchness. Neither of them are good enough to even be No 2 at this level. With heaton having a bad injury I'm not surprised we're supposedly after another keeper. I didn't expect it to be someone like Martinez (or Romero) but it makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
