Don’t know but haven’t we just signed a 16 year old highly rated keeper from Ajax if I remember rightly.Does anyone know how many keepers we have from 17/18 years of age and upwards. I recall a list of them somewhere and we had 6 or 7 including Steffen and Muric on loan.
We have plenty of depth but are they content to play 2nd fiddle to Ederson.
I am not sure if Steffen has qualified to play with us yet.
also another from Sporting but I think he was talking about the ones that would be ready for back up role.Don’t know but haven’t we just signed a 16 year old highly rated keeper from Ajax if I remember rightly.

Yes I think there is a chance that Stefan could replace him in 12 months time. Not watched him properly but his shot stopping is amazing his kicking looks amazing. Only thing I have seen him do like Ederson is come off his line or rather come towards the half way like to tackle a player or receive the ball. (And it sometimes goes wrong ) Would make great financial sense if Stefan was to improve a bit more to sell Edderson in 12 months Steffan is like 18 months younger Edderson has a higher profile
Fooling nobody, nobhead.I’m with you on this one - Steffen already looks like a better shot-stopper, and very good with his feet; I can see him eclipsing Ederson within a year.
Ederson has been found out IMO, in the way Fabian Barthez was after his first season; people enjoy the novelty of his left foot, his sweeping and his madness, but with the defence/midfield screen declining/downgraded he’s been asked to make saves he shouldn’t this year (the sign of a great keeper) and failed to do so, as well as some proper howlers. Barthez in United’s shambolic defence post-Stam was exposed for the clown he really was, and Ederson is on the cusp of that category.

Ederson is a unique goalkeeper, he is Taylor made for our style of football we need him and he needs us just as much .
I cannot imagine him playing his style in any other team, and I can't imagine any other team changing their complete style of football to accommodate him, it would cost that team millions and millions to find players that could play with his style of football . Any goalkeeper that fancies taking the no1 shirt from Eddie needs to model themselves on him simple as that.
