Goalkeeper situation summer 25
- Thread starter 117 M34
- Start date
Let’s have it right. Neither of the keepers are good enough IMO. Both have glaring flaws (Ortega kicking, Eddie shot stopping).
Ederson’s kicking is no longer an anomaly in football, near enough every keeper in the league has the calmness to play out from the back. When he came in 2017, football was full of old-style keepers (Hart, Buffon, Cech to name a few easy ones) but not anymore. He has an accurate long pass but is that enough to warrant keeping him? Not for me. His shot stopping is too poor. The Forest goal last week was criminally poor and not that much was made of it because, dare I say, it’s the norm for him. He had a good run in the treble season but so did a lot of other players who get a lot less protection from fans (Grealish, Akanji) for the same argument.
Ortega was rightly(!) getting praise at the back end of last season and the clamour for him to be the starting keeper was very justified. Especially after the Son save. So it’s a bit ‘reactionary’ to now claim it was over the top. But he’s seemingly gone a bit backwards this season and hasn’t been as reliable. But…who hasn’t?
Either way. I’d be looking at a new keeper.

Maignan is my first choice but the Portugese fella we're linked with is a very very good goalie aswell. Wouldn't mind either. Maignan better with his feet Costa better at keeping it out the net!
Donnarumma is the only one that might move
The answer might not be one of the obvious ones. Especially donnarumma who is shit with the ball on his feet and can’t catch any shots . He always punches them.
Costa is a shitty shot stopper.
Still feel City has to go with someone who is not THAT KNOWN.

Agree...especially with now Viana calling the shots I think we'll go for someone not on the 'list'
I don't think anyone named correctly ahead of time the defensive players we eventually acquired in Jan.
I would also be wary of Chelsea competing with us this summer in the GK market, as they definitely need a starter & arn't afraid of spending & getting their targets.
