Read what I have been saying properly before complete miss representing what I have said.
Let me restate it Steffen is very similar to Edderson not that I have seen much of him but over 12 months younger and no doubt on significantly less wages also looks to be improving very quickly.
He defiantly passes like him perhaps not yet as good. I have seen him come out in much the same way as Edderson perhaps not as aggressive but also means he does not nearly break his team mates neck or get sent off. Cannot really compare ability to command the area because we control games so don’t face too many crosses but I don’t think it’s Eddersons strength not really able to compare shot stopping ability because he faces a lot more shots than Edderson and the shots are very different but on paper he looks a lot better than Edderson.
Based on the limited amount of what I have seen I think City will be caught in two minds between keeping and loaning him. We are going to loose two back up keepers so we will need him However we will want to keep and develop him loaning out would work better.
My guess is he won’t want to be a cup goalie. Will go on loan for 12 months then it will be him or Edderson for no1
My point linked to wages was he does not have to be better than Edderson Just equal to we don’t do favorites just best. If you where Tixi and in a years time had two goalies of equally ability neither of which would sit on the bench who would you keep and who would you sell the younger goalie on cheaper wages or the older goalie on bigger wages (no brainer).
Based on limited knowledge my bet is in 12 months after a loan he is level with Edderson and Edderson goes and he stays
