Great news!

 

[FantasyIreland]

Im surprised but very happy.

A better orthodox keeper than Eddie IMO.

is there a reason everybody is getting new contracts

I’m hoping it’s because Pep is extending but I think that’s maybe optimism with no reality sadly.

That's good news I thought the rumours about the barca lad was bollocks

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I thought he would want to move on, to get more game time.
I was expecting Bazunu to be stepping up as the back up

 

[oldius]

He is doing very well and I'm pleased at this news.

I would be surprised if he stayed beyond this season.

Good enough to be a starter at a good side but never going to replace Ederson.

The loss in the Carabao cup will cost him about 1/3rd of his game time this season, and a move next summer to a club he can start for would nail him down for the USA team at the world cup.

His current contract ended in 2023, so we'd have been getting the "1 year left" discount bullshit if he moved this summer. This deal probably gives him a nice pay rise and we'll get a bigger fee.

Either because their contracts were running down and we wanted to keep the players, or to be able to sell players for more money if we think we might sell them.

Mr Reliable.

Mr Reliable.

I like him, but I'm not sure how anyone can earn the nickname Mr Reliable after 16 games - most of which were against lower league opposition.

Often feels like some posters go overboard on Steffen praise to criticise Ederson.
