So how come De Gea was a wreck in his first seasoon? Do you remember how every team used to load corners into the box and he'd really struggle with it.

La Liga is more technical and less physical. More crosses going into the box,and keepers have to come out and command the box

De gea was like 20 in his first year, bravo is an experienced keeper who has played international. I don't think it will be as difficult for him. Nor do I think the difference is huge. But that's my opinion.

Almost every other player he's bought has been young and will develop. This is the only one I can think of really where we're paying for a short term solution. Having said that buffon is 38! So we might get 5 years out of bravo

Maybe we have a young academy keeper who the city hierarchy believes can play the pep way and become the no 1 after 3-4 years ( even if pep is no longer around)

I don't know, maybe someone with goalkeeping pedigree in his family and adept at saving penalties

I would imagine Joe thinks he's a better keeper than Willy and just as good with the ball at his feet. I also think Joe regrets that show of petulance in the Arsenal game where he refused to play as the manager wanted as without that i think he would have still started games until his replacement was signed.

Bravo is their decision. They could refuse to sell him as he is still under contract. The same with ter Stegen. But Barca wont keep players against the will.
 
A month ago if you told me Joe would be on his way out and Bravo would be our keeper i would have either asked you where your caretaker was, or asked you for a hit of whatever you were on.

Real life is stranger than fiction, but in this case I'm excited, and sad for Joe. I really enjoyed watching Chile play in the last two summers in the Copa America. Bravo always really impressed me. i wish he were 10 years younger, but i think he's one of the best GKs in the world. Plus GKs can play until they're 40+ so his age isn't as big of a factor as some are making it out to be.

SIDE NOTE- I wonder why we were never linked with Victor Valdes. I'm sure he and Pep know each other well, he knows how to execute the Pep/Barca/sweeper keeper style better than anyone, he was already in the city of Manchester and looking for a new team. Seems like the perfect combination of factors.

Perhaps we did go for him but he wanted to be the number 1 instead of just picking up a wage?
