He will be gone, wait and see. Not good enough, neither is Stek.

It will be a new number one and Stek in reserve. Robles out the door to a championship club or lower league club in Europe.

So we keep the worst keeper out of the current two we have the oldest the most injury prone in that case if you are right get rid of the two of them, Robles is being offered a contact when the season ends Stek needs pensioning of?

Pickford is funny though. He's clearly talented, it's more personal wish that we have a more experienced keeper for now.

My only worry with Pickford is his height, 6'1" isn't big for a keeper. Having said that Lloris is 6'2" and is fantastic.

I'd rather a giant too. But there are a few smaller keepers about who are alright.

It's the age thing for me.

Yeah, a young keeper will make mistakes (look at De Gea in his first season at Manure) and then will get pelters from the fans (at GP and on here). That being said, the idea of having a decent keeper playing in the first team for 10 years or more is appealing as it can be the foundation for the rest of the team (e.g. Big Nev, Cech at Chelsea, Schmeichel at ManU etc..).

You also need a team in front of a good keeper in the keepers you mention they had such that!

Of course, I'm not suggesting that all we need is a goalkeeper! We do need a keeper though.

We have come 7th our GD is not that bad conceding our outfield is more concerning need a keeper to push Robles as he is the better of the two imo!

Don't think Robles will get offered a new contract. Think Koeman prefers Stek out of the two of them.

Him and his coaching team see them on a daily basis and they have decided that Stek is their preferred choice.

It's like Dougie and the Howard thread all over again.

He's in for an offer like RB when the season ends!

We always seem to look at Big Nev through rose tinted glasses,remember he was loaned out while being kept out of the team by the great Jim Arnold and later on in his career he had some questionable games for us,a 3-5 home defeat to QPR and a certain Derby game spring to mind.Given we should get EL Robles is worth keeping as a back up at least,and maybe Stek might take a coaching role if we do end up signing a new number one.
