It's Quiet - a new dawn

'young for a keeper"

No, 30, 31 in November, isn't young for anything.

That's young for a first choice keeper. He could play another 12 years.

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

He is an appalling player

This. Might as well get Joe back if we want to start lumping it long!

Oh, at least. 20 years could be possible.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Oh, at least. 20 years could be possible.

Remind me, how old was his dad when he stopped playing in the prem? I could list off 20 keepers to play into their 40's, but I won't, because your smug attitude isn't worth the effort.

 

[better dead than red]

Surely buying Sane, Jesus, Moreno, Zinchenko, Roberts, Unal etc is doing exactly that.

Yes but wouldn't you say they seem to be the exception and not the rule?

 

[richards30]

Still hope we pick ederson over Pickford for keeper.

Thankfully Kasper will never play for us again. Nowhere near good enough for us, regardless of the problems we've had in that position this season.

Come on, with the exception of Buffon and maybe Friedel, they all dipped dramatically by the time they reached their mid 30s.

Casillas, Cech, Seaman, Schmeichel etc all looked like shadows of their former selves by that age. It could easily be down to other factors but look at Bravo now.

If we're going in for someone around 30 then they should be an exceptional talent and, at least in my opinion, Kasper doesn't fall into that category.

I'm not saying we'd get a decade out of him, moreso that he will have re-sale value to another club and he also wouldn't cost us a truckload right now.

We're going to spend 200 mil and have gaps all over the place. He could be a good fit to compete with Bravo. Would personally rather see Kasper come in than spending 40 mil on a keeper from abroad or taking a risk on the likes of Pickford.

I'm surprised at how quiet it's been about Rulli (unless I've missed something?). I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Willy leave and be replaced by Rulli this season because it was reported when we signed him then sold him last year that we had a fairly low buy-back clause.

Thought we couldn't buy him back until next summer?
