What the fuck is €11m?? With such a low ball offer the simple reply from City should be ‘do one you cheeky cunts’

That’s like another club offering £20m for Riinders.

It is a bit galling when you look at the wider transfer market. From what I understand, foreign clubs can enter pre-contract discussions with Premier League players in the January window if their contracts are in the last 6 months of their existence. This happened with Alexander Arnold and Real Madrid. It didn't seem to effect Liverpool but I think it explains why the fee under discussion is so low.

I'd add that you can't really compare say, Swift or Trautman to Eddy due to the different requirements needed today. Joe Hart was brilliant for us but he was old enough to be on the cusp of when the goalies needed strengths started to change (and not just for us).

Agreed, comparing modern goalkeepers to those of the past is a fool's errand; it's almost an entirely new position, and Pep is primarily responsible for that.

How well did they play in the champions league final ?

Hardly worth dignifying with a response, but in case you're being serious, remember Hart in the Nou Camp keeping out Messi and Co at their best? Trautman winning a cup final, playing on with a broken neck? Corrigan; from a clown to a hero and fantastic for us for a decade - capped for England when Clemence and Shilton were in their prime - and all with much lesser teams in front of them. I rely on what my dad told me about Frank Swift.

Nothing against Ederson - he was great in Istanbul, and has a great left foot. To suggest he's our greatest ever goalkeeper - which was the comment I was responding to - is something I'd expect off one of his relatives, not a dyed-in-the-wool City fan.

True, can you imagine being a keeper today and the light ball behaves like a fucking balloon after someone's kicked it ha

Ederson is the equivalent of Pep or Sacchi as a goalkeeper. He changed the role and tactics of the position. He has also done a fine job of it as one of the most decorated keepers in history.

Hart is the equivalent of Benitez. Was great but not exceptional and did not push the needle forward.

The other two you cannot compare with as they are different era and demands nor professionalism was at the same level.

He is not the greatest shot stopper of his era but he could be one of the greatest goal keepers.

I think the time is right to move on but let us not pretend. We will never see a keeper loke him. There are at least half dozen of keepers of Harts peak level around.

He does have a better team in front of him but he’s won more than that put together
The period when we were rich and could’ve had anyone and we chose him
For a reason because he’s top drawer
