Getting rid of an unhappy player is good though. Plus taking the record of most expensive keeper off us is also good. Happy days.
No but it does add some pressure to the player..surely? I know they're all professionals and make out it's fine. But knowing you're the most expensive player in your position in the world must be pretty tense.
I'm sure it adds some pressure, I'm sure the signing on fee cushions the blow though. It's only a temporary thing until someone else breaks the record. Imagine what De Gea would cost if United sold him. 100m plus?
Yup! Although it reeks of desperation. Real Madrid were close to signing this guy in January for £17m. Seven months later and Chelsea are offering £70m.
Yeah the minute Everton paid 35mil for Pickford the price of keepers changed forever. Rightly so though due to how important they are. Even when strikers were going for 50mil you could still get a decent keeper for 10mil. The record will get smashed most windows from now on.
Bothering? You’ve mistaken bothered for being humoured, Bluey. You’re downgrading your keeper and paying world record fee to do so.
Got to say that the bits I've seen of him, on YouTube admittedly, he looks the part.. Time will tell though.
i'll use the classic if he gets us the CL he will have paid for himself. Plus he's offset by courtois plus he'll be on cheap cheap wages. 3 wins in one
I dont care how good he is (and he must be good if Real were trying to get him I suppose), the fee is still ****ing stupid. Would much rather we went for someone a lot cheaper and spent that money where it is needed. I wouldn't give a **** if we went in to the season with Caballero as No.1, he is a decent keeper. Never mind
had a quick look, shot stopping looks alright, dunno about his punching/catching/aerial dominance though
I’d say you’re downgrading, Bob. Courtois is better. Courtois’ also a ****, I fully get that, but he’s better.
cabellero is a clown. so is getting a **** keeper for 30 odd million like butland (who hasn't looked right since his injury). either we get a really cheap clown like joe hart or we get an expensive guy. Think we would have like oblak but i reckon he wouldn't want to come. THink we should have got donnarumma though as i reckon we could have got him on the cheap (well cheaper than 70m)
Has he really been cack though? I’ve always thought he was a very good keeper from an outside perspective. Just seemingly with a ****y attitude. Tbh I know very little about Kepa other than the fact I’d never heard of him until Jan when Madrid were close to signing him.
not the courtois of the last year or so and i'm pretty sure an MIA courtois wouldn't have played properly if we made him stay. the courtois is belgium is better
