The goalkeeper situation

The guy is box office, I would buy a ticket to watch him alone, one of football's great characters.Ortega has not let us down when called on but Ederson is an iconic part of this team. For me he has the same status as Kev, Rodri or Phil.

He just needs to get on top of a few more pens!!Ortega has not let us down when called on but Ederson is an iconic part of this team. For me he has the same status as Kev, Rodri or Phil.
How I see it is that Ederson is an integral part to how we currently play, and have played over the last 7 seasons. He is ultimately more than a goalkeeper & I don't think there is anyone better in world football that suits our style of play more than Ederson.
Ortega is brilliant, has never let us down when called upon, and is arguably too good to be a back-up keeper.
We signed him for nothing and I wouldn't begrudge him from wanting to move on in the summer for first-team football wherever he decides to go.
We would likely get 25m+ for him and I'm sure there would be a long list of clubs interested in his services.
It's a win win for all parties involved.

I can’t think of a club with our ambition who regularly rotate their keeper. It’s not a done thing in football for me for a reason. It’s important to keep the familiarity behind the defence.
However, I do like sub keepers starting league cup and FA Cup matches in order to retain fitness in case of injury.
I’d be interested in Ortega if I was managing another club. He may want first team football.

Extending with Steffan is as important as any other deals this summer....he's a top keeper & top pro.
Talk of Joe returning in some capacity in the summer ?

As an ambassador, just like Micah. Not sure how it’ll work out as he loves the club as it used to be, not as it is now.Extending with Steffan is as important as any other deals this summer....he's a top keeper & top pro.

Didn't Arteta suggest he was going to do this with Raya and Ramsdale. Either it didn't work or he was talking shit.

He does a lot of the latter, so I’m going to suggest it was that.Didn't Arteta suggest he was going to do this with Raya and Ramsdale. Either it didn't work or he was talking shit.
