Put simply - goalies don't win games for you.

Why are goalies so cheap?

You could buy Grobelaar and Segers on a game-by-game basis.

Yes, 38 goalless draws would most likely end in relegation, that's why goalscorers are the most expensive players.Put simply - goalies don't win games for you.

You can put whatever price tag you like on a player, but until someone writes a cheque, you don't know what they are worth.

Joe Corrigan was worth a billion in his day, especially after his change of direction save on the line from Alan Clarkes header at Leeds in the late 70's Never seen a finer save.. Stepney won save of the season though with a routine tip over the bar... That's how far the bias goes back, Anyone remember it, may have been a cup match ..!

Blimey that Mandanda hasn't half lived off that 1 save. Reckon his best mate must be a FIFA programmer

Supply and demand. It's as simple as that
It is, always has been, and always will be.

In this world of crazy transfer fees, why are goalkeepers so (comparatively) cheap?
Isn't a top class keeper essential for a team wanting to win anything?
Isn't the goalie one of the three(?) most important positions on the pitch for a manager to get right?
Buffon went for far and away the biggest transfer fee, everybody else circa £20 mill tops. Talk of Joe going for £20 mill, when de Gea almost went (wish he had) that was allegedly for £25 mill (admittedly with only 1 season left on contract)
Top defender - £50 mill
top midfielder - £90 mill
top goalscorer - 3 (sorry, 9)figures?
Joe Hart can arguably claim to be in the top 5 in the world in his position, so why isn't his transfer fee in the region of £75 mill?
Apparently it's because they're all cup tied.
