I wouldn't. Gazzaniga is a lot younger than Bialkowski and has more potential IMO.

4 years isn't a lot for a Goalkeeper. Anyway, judging from what's been said by managers and players it seems like Bart is just way more confident this year. One game he was yelling at the opposition to try and beat him. Happy for him, I thought he always had great fundamentals skills, now he's getting the chance to show it.

I can. I can see him back at Palace. TNLS doesn't ever provide any sources for his rumours, but they generally seem to be within the realm of possibility. I think we're really going to change it up a lot at the back, and Poch hasn't seemed to keen on Fonte though I'm not entirely sure why.

Good shout.

Fonte is one of those players whom I would be gutted to see playing against us though, definitely one of what I see as the core of our team that achieved so much.

I doubt we'll sign more than 1 centre back, as I can't see Yoshida, Forren or Fonte going. Yoshida and Forren are both, by centre back standards, young with good potential, and Fonte brings so much to the team in terms of leadership and influence; he's been captain on numerous occasions. In all honesty I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Hooiveld still playing the odd game, as Poch brought him into it a lot more as the season progressed. If we are to keep all 4 of them, or even 3 of them, signing more than 1 centre back would be odd. The pathway to the 1st team would be far too congested for youth players.

I hope we sign two. We need two

We must lose the sentiment. Joe is right, and I think to move forward we must sign one maybe two quality CB who are better than what we have. I love what Fonte and Jos have done for us, but if we are to move on then this is the moist important area we need to improve.

Well I think he has his good moments but also has his bad moments. He struggled when he came in for Davis in the Championship last season so there is nothing to suggest he will be a good prem keeper.

Tom, that is harsh. He hadn't played any league football for 33 years before that. I think he always had the potential and is still incredibly young for a keeper. He has 10-15 years ahead of him and could easily be a Prem keeper yet.

Even if he does, I won't be upset with the decision to let him go. He was just short of 25, and wasn't really making a case for the number one role, and that was before Boruc came in. At that point, when you're potentially looking at him being out on loan until age 27 or later, it's better for everyone involved if he gets the chance to move on, hopefully establish himself somewhere and grow from there.

Same here. One of many players that I am glad to see have been successful after leaving us. If he does well then he could get a Championship jersey, and there's a lot of teams in the Championship that could have a lucky promotion.

Hell of a long time not playing football, no wonder he was nervous poor guy.
 
I liked Bart, especially in his younger days. He just had a couple of bad games and it didn't work out for him. I'm glad he's found his feet again, he still could easily have a good career.
 
See him train ALOT when he was down here and he was an absolute world beater, put him in-front of a crowd and he woblier than a weeble!
