Joel Robles

And Reina has gone to Bayern for 2 mill, at that price could have been a decent backup never mind where he is coming from.

Pepe Reina?

You know why Liverpool dont want him yeah? Because he wants more then 130k a week..

There is that wee problem, so you reckon Bayern are paying that, not sure on that. Point is could he have a better backup than Robles.

Id have him as first choice over Howard tbh..

Wow!!!!!!!!!! That had me.

Howard was top 3 in league last year imho

 

[Tramps_mate]

Pepe Reina wasnt in the league. I always thought he was a cracking keeper. However Howard seems to have gotten better with age..

Team Robles!

Tbf he's won the FA Cup!

I watched him last season at Wigan and he's good enough to be number one.
This is serious post.

He should be loaned out to a championship side this season to get some first team football to help his development.

Wasn't he at fault for Southampton's goal against us over Xmas last year?

He certainly was. A long range effort right through his hands.

No way. He was overated when over the park. His physical size (or width at least) gave an impression of being difficult to beat, but the reality was different.

I reckon he might have still gone to Bayern had we bid... It's very very difficult to have a top class back up keeper - Chelsea had Schwarzer last season for heavens sake!

Haha thought you were serious there

 

[TheFinnFan]

A bit worried about the fact that he'll play bigger role this year. He has the goods but clearly lacks experience and that killer instinct that is vital for a keeper.
We wont be getting new one cause Bob trusts him. Hope he'll suprise us all and be class act.

This thread is a potential vaulting gold mine, just like naisy and McC thread.

So has Neville Southall, i wouldn't have him in goal either.

Although i'd pick him before Joel.
