Keeper necessity

[Goat]

Leicester?

Theres better keepers out there than Kasper, I like the lad, but my point was most clubs in the league think they can do better with regards keepers.

The point was the fella implied we dont have a number 1 keeper, we have 2, just that neither is really good enough.

Stickleback is better than Howard tho, so already we have improved that area.

And how many clubs in the league could answer that question with yes?

United, Spurs, Chelsea? And??

Stoke, Arsenal, Southampton, Leicester, City, West Ham.

All have very good number 1 keepers that are far better than our 2.

Fair point.

My point was that Kasper has a winners medal...and that is the level we aspire to.

In other words you don't have to have world class players at every position to be successful...which I think is what you are saying as well.

You've just admitted that neither are good enough. Our number 2 keeper behind Tim Howard has been retained and we have added Fulham's reserve keeper. We need another keeper if we want to do anything in the league.

Neither are good enough, but your statement that we dont have a number 1 keeper is wrong.

We have 2.

If we are spending massive fee on the like of Witsel and Koulibaly we will surely buy a new top keeper instead of keeping Robles in goal.

Semantics. We don't have a keeper good enough to play first choice for us if we wish to compete at the top end of the league.

Right and we will buy 1 before the window closes, so whats the problem?

Yeah obviously I hope we do, my point is we seem to be one of the few clubs who need to buy one. Most of the other teams in the league have better keepers than us.

I can think of 5 or 6 I would replace them with and feel we are getting a major upgrade, De Gea, Courttosososois, Llloris, Butland, Forster, Hart, maybe. The rest are either on a par or slightly worse IMO.

 

[Papa Shango]

Why do people keep talking about people not called Yann Sommer.

Yann Sommer is the future. Get him in.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Does he see Robles as No.1?

 

[Eggs]

...I suspect a keeper is on the shopping list.

 

[neil999]

Wonder if we might go all our for butland? Would cost absolute fortune tho..

Dunno really
