Much better. I think we get Petrovic myself. Wouldn’t mind Perri either

Both good keepers but I don't think there is a scenario where we swap main targets
Guess it depends if Leeds' main target is also Petrovic and they've just not been linked as closely in the press.
**** it we need two keepers if Patterson wants to go and get first team somewhere, lets sign both just to piss Leeds off.
I guess it could be but there has been back and forth jets between leeds and lyon and they seem pretty heavily linked to perri. Would be funny if we are more in on Perri and them on Petro though
I'd prefer Petrovic but not by much. I'd prefer Petrovic as well because of age and sell on factor.
Language might be a factor as well. Has lived in England and the States. I know Perri had a spell at Palace and might speak english anyway.
Middle names estrella, he’ll do for me
This is going to be wildly unpopular, but hear me out:
Illan Meslier.
Come up through the Lorient youth ranks with RLB, cites RLB as a key influence in his career, still speaks to him occasionally, RLB suggested he do boxing to help him with confidence over collisions and impact when collecting crosses etc when he was playing in the youth team. RLB believes him to have the potential to play for the French national team. Also, he's probably available for a cut price considering he has come under fire and Leeds are actively being linked with a new keeper.
*Tin hat on and a smirk on my face*

It's not inplausible unfortunately. Can see a crazy scenario where we sell Patto and Meslier comes in for a few million as backup keeper here.
On the whole Petrovic / Perri thing, I'm surprised Burnley aren't involved considering they'll be losing Trafford.
If the club went for him, I would understand what they're doing and support it, because I pretty much support whatever they think is right at the moment. If anyone can get him back to his former glory it would be RLB.
Would he be my first choice pick right now, obviously no, he just came off the back of a season where he was criticiqued often.
I think they’ve already signed his replacement, couldn’t tell you his name like
