actually he hasn't.

Quality goalkeepers are difficult to get hold of. Whatever you may think, Roberto hasn't fiddled.

More scouting than looking to buy, I would think.

But having made one mistake in not doing it last aummer, no point in making an even worse one by spending money on a poor one now. Especially when it is incredibly difficult to integrate anyhow as unlike outfield players they can't just be given 10 mins to gradually get up to speed.

Even good ones like De Gea can take ages to adapt.

Agree it probably should have been done last summer, just think Martinez will realise this and get a keeper in this summer.

Loose a goal poacher, sign an unknown.
Bob states ...we will always leave windows in a stronger position.
Jurys out for now but no reason not to believe him...generally been pretty good.

This one post sums up all that is wrong with the modern football fan.

Get out.

To be fair, even some football teams use fifa and fm these days. Alot of research goes into those stats so it's at least an ok ish proxy indicator of a players ability.

Wouldn't really call Naismith a goal poacher mate, he was a player who gave 100% and chipped in with the odd goal.

Thing is we were never gonna spend big as were in the midst of being took over. Why would the existing owners spend money that they won't benefit from? Especially after they haven't put their hand in their pocket for the preceding sixteen years before that
