What’s with PSG goal keeping situation ? Do they not keep loaning them out are they over stocked ?
They probably don't rate Areola too highly
Areola is shit. Very bad goalkeeper. Used to be the biggest prospect in France when he was younger. He had very good loans at Bastia and Villareal but then he flopped at PSG. The guy had an incredible record of 9 goals taken out of 10 shot on target the season we lost the title to Monaco. We would dominate the whole game, the enemy team would shot once and score and we would lose or draw. He was that bad.What’s with PSG goal keeping situation ?

PSG try hard to make their academy players successful. They even gave him the first GK position while he didn't really deserve it. He was not good enough. We took Buffon for free in order to be his "mentor". Both Buffon and Areola were shit though. Now, thankfully, we have got a true world class GK with Navas. Rico is just there because he knows he is the second goalkeeper and is cool with it. Areola was always kind of 1.5 Goalkeeper : not good enough to convince when he is the number 1 and cannot settle as a number 2.Yet he is playing in the prem for Fulham prior to that they had Deigo Rico on loan from PSG Areola has also been at Madrid They have also had Buffon a couple of seasons ago see like they are wasting money @Parisian seems to think they need to spend a lot on midfield I just wondered if anyone knew more about there situation because I do not follow them at all
The guy gave me and all PSG fans nightmares. Every single occasion from the opponents, you would stop breathing because he was known for 1 shot on target = 1 goal stats during a good part of 2016/2017 season.They probably don't rate Areola too highly

How much relieved are we now ? We were in constant stress and fear. And omg, he is so bad in penalty kick exercice despite his height. Also, he is often being "lobbed" due to his bad positioning.
TS would always fight with him by heading the ball when the opponent were making a corner because he couldn't trust his GK to catch the ball.

For years ? What do you mean ? His earlier years or the latter ones ?Why have you been loaning him out for years tho ? Seems pointless he is not a kid

If the latter ones, he is surplus to requirement with us having signed Navas. He can't be sold because he has a top 5 salary in the world for a GK while being sub top 50. Raiola finessed us.
If the early years, we loaned him to give him full seasons of playtime to come back as an experienced and ready made GK. Our goal was to have him, an academy player, protect our cage for a decade. Sadly, he never confirmed his elite youngster potential.
Is there quality coming through your academy?What a window !
We have lost a lot of quality (players leaving on a free or Bernat having an ACL injury) and we have done almost no recruitment.
We are so doomed.
It will be hard in the CL group this year while we usually cruise those.
The lack of day match revenue is killing us (almost 20 % of our income).
The quality got snatched for free by Bayern (Kouassi). The other one was Aouchiche but he wasn't yet ready anyway.Is there quality coming through your academy?
You've got too many players on comfortable wages to give a shit about playing.Hilarious !
Icardi, afer having played his first dozen minutes of the season last game, has developed another injury in training and will be missing CL game agaisnt MU (at least)...
What an useless player. We spent 50 M on him and since then he has not even played 90 min...
