    Weirdly enough I was thinking about Mannone yesterday, what with all the Burge debate.

    Was gutted to leave if I remember right, can't see it but would love to see him back. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Me too, mate. I can't imagine Monaco being desperate to hold on to him now and with all things considered surely a loan could be the way to go with Mannone, even if Monaco insert a recall clause incase they have a goalkeeper injury crisis, that would be fine with me for a keeper of his standard in this league.

    Same here, damn good keeper and a likeable character.

  7. I’m not sure about this…. Fishpaste has been on the wrong end of it before now….. but, if there’s any truth in this, and we pull it off, what a statement!!

    he seems like a decent guy but in all my time following him on twitter I don't think I've seen him break any news like this?!

    I must be in the minority that think Vito was just an ok keeper. He was nothing special. A bit better than burge but nothing more. Think Burge’s distribution is better unless Vito has improved massively

    You've raised a good point there, mind. Vito's distribution was garbage!

    I think shot stopping and controlling his area he's a few levels above Burge tbh.

    Just opinions mate. I just always thought he struggled commanding his area. He’s better keeper than burge definitely but his distribution was rubbish. Burge is much better in that department UNLESS Vito has improved himself

    An OK Premier League goalkeeper? Sorry but no element of Burges game comes close to Vito.

    he doesn't normally "appear" to hear things (he may well do - just not share them).

    But I know he's had quite a lot of communication with David Preece in the past, and Preece has now come in and hinted in an interview that our goalkeepers are strong enough "even if we don't strengthen", which to me implies we are looking to strengthen if possible.

    Fishpaste has also a few times over the last 2 weeks or so hinted that he knows we are after a keeper.

    So, putting 2 and 2 together and getting 326. It could be that he knows Preece.

    Or it could be entirely something different :D

    To be honest I think if he’d stayed in our championship season instead of the clusterfuck goalkeepers we had we wouldn’t have been relegated mate.
