Looks more like your old fashioned Norman Hunter style centre half... #bitesyerlegs

The next Lee Cattermole

lols.

Boro lost but then Derby did too so, bothered?

Hull can fuck off tho.

Low centre of gravity, good in tight spaces and strong legs. The new Edgar Davids.

Soon to be uncovered expose of throwing games for treats.

Sat on his arse in the street, glazed eyes.

The new George Best.

Shits wherever he wants.

The new Robbie Savage.

Enjoys a good sleep after an hour and a half.

The new Everton defence.

Regained top spot above @cornelius_blackfoot ;)

You might stretch that lead further if you've got some Swansea and Watford players in your team...

We need to do at least £15/20m on a decent 'keeper

Sadly it'll all go to Kenwright & Co. 😒

Don't rate Robles then?
I rate Fahrmann at Schalke, you'd get him for less then £8m as well.

was going to say you don't need to spend £20m+ on a keeper, Lloris only cost us £12m approx £8m sign on and then the rest in add ons. Yeah Lyon were desperate for the cash and to get a high wage earner off the books, but there are good/great keepers out there available for less than £12m as long as you know where to look, and what your clubs playing style needs..

You wouldn't get a player of his calibre into the PL for that sort of money these days I reckon. There will be the PL TV bonanza add-on.

There's plenty of talented goalkeepers around at the moment and a lot of clubs are in financial peril so deals can get done.

£8M for a GK gets you a Europa League quality player that should be decent enough to play for a top 10 PL side.

Butland deal looks like another excellent piece of business from Stoke.

yeah I thought we'd got the best of that deal, especially at his age with the experience he had, he's still only 29, so barring injury, there's another decade of play from him. Though Lyon (if you believe wiki) are due 20% of any sell on..

Great

Just when you think things couldn't get any worse :(

If a football season was played in a calendar year than he'd have won the golden glove. Surely he's better than you make him out to be?

Arsenal are champions in that alternate reality...

He isn't the worst keeper in the league, no. But he has been directly to blame for some of our defeats too often for my liking. Look at Peter Chech, except for a first dodgy couple of games where he was missing match sharpness, he has been immense.

#trololol

You're talking sense, stop it Mike.

I don't think he's terrible, and unless we go out and spend £20M+ we aren't going to get anyone better.

That money can be better spent elsewhere.
