I hope all this talk about spending £25 million in a goalie is nonsense, when it could be better spent elsewhere on the pitch. I will be pissed off if this happens.

If we'd have been 6 pts better off this season we'd have been 4 places higher.
4 places higher in each of the next 4 seasons (keeper contract length) would mean the keeper cost nothing due to increased prize money!
So, could a 25 million keeper get us an extra 3 wins instead of draws? Absolutely, they can, in my opinion, so it's well worth it.


Of course, it doesn't mean they will be that could, but, likewise, they could also do better than that.

The worry is an expensive goalkeeper could turn out to be another Perri, and then we will be very upset.

Same applies to any player or position.
They can all be duds or all over-perform against our expectations.

Aye, remember us spending a modest £17M on some guy called Raphinha that none of us had heard of, and look how that panned out; another one like that would be good. ?

If he delivers the goods, as Canada intimated, I'm sure we'll all be over the moon. Darlow is stalling: replace him.

Fully agree. Don't sign, ask him twice, then on your bike. Man utd going to take both keepers, just shows the money they waste.

I really hoped the Darlow situation had been resolved by now.. It's a worry. Perri is not good enough, and I'm not convinced by our recruitment team to attain better. ?
