No Alisson or Oblak according to Maddock because of their potential prices.

 

If you want a quality keeper, you have to fucking pay the going rate for one.

 

That means welcome Jack Butland.

 

He won't be cheap either. Reckon £30m at least, possibly more.

 

Keeper position will still remain unresolved for another season.

 

Meh.

There are still keepers in the bracket below Oblak and Alisson that would be big improvements on Mignolet, Karius and Butland. If we end up with Butland, or worse, Karius in goal, it'll be another window where we could have kicked on and didn't.

Some other daft club were linked with Butland just after the season ended, £25m was the price mentioned. Their chairman said that would by his left leg. No, he won’t be cheap. Pickford borked the value for overrated, English keepers.

If we are happy to spend 75m to sort out the defence with VVD then surely spending north of 60m to sort the goalkeeping out is the right thing to do, Allison would do that for the next 8 to 10 years. False economy saving a few quid by signing Butland if true.

Where is this Butland thing coming from? As far as I'm aware, Pearce dismissed that.

Thoth, there are several keepers who are a slightly lower level who we could get, that would improve us. We don't necessarily need to spend that much to make a significant onfield gain.

 

You mean Alireza Beiranvand, Alireza Haghighi, Mohammad Rashid Mazaheri, and Amir Abedzadeh don't you?

Mainly Graeme Kelly.

 

He's still standing by it and has done for a couple of months.

 

Pearce all but confirmed Fekir was signing whereas Kelly broke news of the failed medical.

Cant see Handanović leaving Inter with Champions league football

Depends what we pay him. The stuff I have googled reckons he's on about 50k/60k a week. Double it and he'll come here. Be well worth it.

 

If we sign Butland it's like we're genuinely trying to have the worst collection of goalkeepers in the league.

Thing is woth Butland pre injury he looked very promising. I do wonder if its a physiological thing and he doesn't trust his ankle or if he is just fucked.

We’ve got the best medical team in world football. If his ankle is fucked you better believe we’ll find out about it.

 

Maybe he’s just not very good.

Wolves selling Afobe to Stoke on a 6 month loan with an agreed fee in January, after Wolves only buying him a week or two back. All very odd.

Not really

Barca and Real do it all the time. Sell players have a buy back. Resign them just to sell them on and make a profit

Agreed, I was talking about Allison (and Oblak to an extent) because we have apparently baulked at the price.. of course none of this could be true but if that was the case it seems a bit short sighted.

Personally I would be happy with any keeper who improves the first team squad, doesn’t have to cost the earth.
