17 mil for 2 seasons is still more expensive then 70mil for 11 seasons thats both keepers playing with us until they are 35. Plus bravos release is around 35 mil but they will do business for less I think the same will happen should we move for ter stegen. I cant see barca holding out for ter stegens and keeping an unhappy player, if we wait to January one of their goslkeepers fee will have dropped dramatically if ter stegen starts bravo is a 33 year old back up, if bravo starts ter stegen is a back up who has made it clear he isnt happy on the bench.Stegen's release clause is almost £70m though, so that's quite a hike up from £17m. Easier said than done to just "pay the extra" for him.
I think that Barca are completely unwilling to trade TS. They'd prefer to keep both keepers, but if one has to go, it will be Bravo.I think the same will happen should we move for ter stegen.
All you need to do is watch the first 2 minutes of this video to see why he "fits" Pep's system....Would be sad to see Hart go(if rumours are true) but Bravo seems a good option and even at 33, we'd get 3 good years from him.....
Mate, £17mil is not big money in this day and age. 3 years of Bravo and then Rulli or whoever to come in would be fine.Just to be clear, its not that I dont rate bravo I know he is a very good keeper, what im against is signing short term solutions for big money. In two or three years times bravo will need replaced and we will be hoping rulli is the answer when his distribution last season was closer to harts then bravos.
Agreed. But needs must - if we cannot get TS (b/c Barca just won' trade and will promise TS whatever he wants so that he'll stay even if we were willing to meet his release clause), then it's Bravo. And I think that this is where we are at.Just to be clear, its not that I dont rate bravo I know he is a very good keeper, what im against is signing short term solutions for big money.

That would only happen if Joe is content to be 2nd choice at the outsetI personally believe it'll be Caballero who makes way. Pep seems to think Joe will come good with time.

I think he'll be content with challenging for his place.
Thinking about it, it is sort of strange that managers are so obsessed with having two good players in every position but only allow the sub goalkeeper to play a handful of games - maybe this next era of football will see that that perspective changes.

The only reason we're contemplating a trade is that Joe and Willy are currently unable to play in the style Pep demands. If we trade for a keeper that fits Pep's style, I cannot see Joe or Willy starting any games outside of maybe League Cup ties.We may have been priotising the Champs league qualifier and we will play Hart on Tuesday
Can see this being the case through the season, one keeper for league one for Europe
Some of you need to calm down, we're replacing Caballero with Bravo and not Joe Hart.
Off to liverpool by all accounts......
