really not been one decent keeper in the last 8 yrs we could have got for £15m or less?
I saw this article about how stats show that a team is only as strong as its weakest link.
This is why signing Nacho last season made sense. That £8.5m got us top 4. (No Santos style howlers, and 2 wins due to his goal or assist.)
Higuain would not have made a difference - Olly scored one and almost made another. (Also a great sprint back to win the ball near our goal as the last man.) Decent game imo.
But a decent GK would have made a difference.
The squad is threadbare. This is inexcusable.
But refusing to buy a top class keeper for all these years is a joke.
Is there really not a good goalie anywhere?
