Geronimo Rulli

I always think not having a home grown\nation trained backup goalie is rather silly. Even though our 3rd keeper is.

Kid seems decent though.
 
If it's a free transfer then considering his age it makes sense. Good to see that funds will be prioritised in the right areas and if he has the passing ability Pep desires he can push Hart on in that aspect.
 
One of the best young keepers in Europe's top leagues. And what a name, he'd get one hell of a song about him.
 
interestingly he seems to catch the ball a lot, 2nd highest stat in La Liga this season. 4th most number of saves, 11 clean sheets for the 9th place team, only Adan at Betis has more clean sheets a worse team.

The bad:


Hope he was paid off for that one as it's a disgraceful performance, so worried about him over his ability to have games like that.

The good:


Still unconvinced, doesn't have a reassuring aura about him and he seems quite sketchy, would definitely be second fiddle to Joe and has a lot to work on.
 
With a name like that he must be signed. Simple as that. If Willy is leaving we shall be really short of keepers with comedy names. Although I hear that lad Gaylord Cockburn from Bristol City is something else

Have to agree with your final statement. Not sure what it is but don't like what I see from those videos. Seems too small maybe, and a little immobile which is strange considering his physique. If he's on a free then hard to argue with the transfer I suppose, but for me the backup keeper seems a good opportunity to get a home grown spot filled.
 
Geronimo? Seriously? Christ, we'll have fun with that.
 
City are closing-in on a deal for Real Sociedad's Geronimo Rulli (24), who Pep sees as strong competition for Joe Hart. [Daily Mail] (Found on City Watch 1 minute ago.)

Taken from a report yesterday.........

'The talented goalkeeper, born in Buenos Aires, is still technically on loan from Uruguayan club Deportivo Maldonado, where his ownership rights are held by an investment group. But after two seasons on loan at Real Sociedad, he will be sold to a major club in the coming weeks'
Much as this pleases me, as it would mean Hart remains first choice, the chances of us getting him are highly complicated by his third party ownership that is not allowed in the Premier League.
 
Not sure why anyone thinks this is a free transfer. Just because his loan spell at Real Sociedad is coming to an end doesn't mean that the investment group that owns him does not want a substantial fee.
