Only data I like for keepers is xGOT faced vs goals conceded and that isn't perfect either. Bulka faced 45.2 xGOT vs 41 goals conceded Patterson faced 39.9 xGOT vs 42 goals conceded xGOT (expected goals on target) measures the quality of the chance and the quality of the shot. I like using it for strikers. However it doesn't take into account own goals, which Patterson conceded a few of and I presume Bulka did also, and deflected shots have a weird effect on it also.
It's so funny seeing mags try everything they can to pretend bulka is no good and it's not a good signing
I like Patterson but Bulka is a massive upgrade imo (at least on paper it is) Patterson had an average season last year but finished the season well - was unreal in the playoff final. Patterson is a top end championship GK at the minute, while Bulka is arguably a top 10 PL GK Exciting 1st signing if this signing comes off
Just looked at that Seb Vidal’s timeline and he seems to have had Arsenal signing Kudus and Gyokeres this month as well…
He does a lot of looking lively and not a lot of doing - reminds me a lot of their last prem stint with the 2 young wingers they had then odobert and koleosho who would be raved about and then not do owt.
Yeah, tbf i'm purely feeling better after watching Romano talk about it, he seems very confident, he wouldn't say the things he did if it wasn't close or likely ICYMI -
He’s never said anything about those being complete just talks and interest (which is true I believe)
