He underperformed his xG against whilst there and conceded more than 2 goals per game on average. After he left his team continued to concede roughly the same amount of goals per game (actually slight fewer but we'll call that noise), so I'm a bit puzzled what it is that he was rated for? Playing for Man City? 🙃 Link to post Share on other sites

They also had Scott Carson available to them as well. It could be that they still rate him highly but want him out on loan getting some football or it could be that after two seasons there Guardiola has seen enough and wants a replacement. Or in wc year they've allowed him to go out on loan for game time and to further develop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 What if going for Steffen on loan rather than Darlow for £6million allows us to get someone like Gyökeres without needing the money for Spence right now.. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he told Pep that, in World Cup year and with Arsenal buying his rival, that he wants to leave to get more games? Hence Man City had to get in a replacement before letting him go out on loan? Let’s hope this is the case as he will want to prove he is USA’s best goalkeeper next season with us. 👍 His rival isn't going to get any more game time at Arsenal than he is going to get with Man City but I get your basic point that he might want a bit more football. Hasn't seemed to bother him the last couple of years of course but a World Cup is a World Cup 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,442 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Let's face it, the City keepers are hardly over worked, regardless of who is in goal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Also Spence to spurs a fee was finally agreed but boro are trying to get some large add ons, may well be a load of rubbish but the person who told me was right about the white and gold away kit in 07/08 so I’d say it’s nailed on. it was blue and black... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Like it or not GK these days are expected to do more than just be a large unit in goal. you mention Real Madrid? Your point is? Liverpool and Man City both want their keepers to play from the back, maybe that’s what Wilder wants. Saving goals is important but I’m telling you now U10 girls scouts even look for how a player is with the ball at their feet. I’ve seen it with my own eyes chap. Well that's great but I have my opinion and I'm fairly certain we are better off in the championship with a goalkeeper who is a good goalkeeper. At the end of the day if a keeper is a solid gk and can spray the ball around the pitch he's more than likely not going to play at this level. My point is that Real Madrid won the champions league final because they had a gk that kept the ball out of the net at key moments not because he was knocking the ball around the pitch. Liverpools was found wanting. We will keep more goals out of our net having a good gk who is solid and makes few mistakes than we will score at the other end with someone who can pick the odd pass out a few times a game. The fact anyone thinks you can just teach someone how to 'make saves' and be a good gk is a crock of ***. It's like saying well take the fastest runners in the area and offer them all academy contracts and just teach them how to be good strikers. You would end up with alot of *** strikers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The season he was on loan in Bundesliga Steffen made an incredible amount of saves and was getting good reviews. He’s a good all round keeper Link to post Share on other sites

estonpidge 1,442 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 @Foxtrot Oscar Colin you surely can't be blaming Alisson Becker for that goal. Also 2 seasons previous Courtois was classed as a clown. Link to post Share on other sites
