That could be a good shout, he looked pretty good the few times I saw Blackburn play last year (admittedly a small sample size). Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Emiliano Martinez (Reading) would be a decent option as a potential replacement, he has some decent stats from last season. In terms of his saves and importantly he's pretty good with the ball at his feet. I also think we should be having a look at the following as back up keepers: Remi Matthews (Bolton) Max O'Leary (Bristol City) Both are young and have been exposed to championship football, and have done pretty well.

Think Martinez will be the new Arsenal no.2, Dan. Cech retired and Ospina has been sold to Napoli so only got Leno and given he did well at Reading, I read Arsenal will be keeping Martinez this season, They also got a limited transfer potty so they would rather spend what they have on areas within the first 11 that need improving.

That's a valid point, Arsenal have a hugely limited budget this season due to having no Champions League money again. I don't think the Ospina deal is quite done and dusted yet however. There are a few murmurs that Napoli are haggling over the option to buy that was in his loan deal last season. Hopefully Randolph stays and we reject any advances for him, as his is hugely important to us. Still think we will see a goalkeeper come in as we have 1 senior GK at the moment.

I like your idea of having a promising GK from the league's below come in as understudy to Randolph and not a veteran type. One we can play in cup games. Nonetheless would would be happy to re-sign a veteran like Lonergan as 3rd choice GK so to allow all our young GKs to go out on loan and get further experience. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Mikel has signed for Trabzonspor in Turkey. Don't know if that was mentioned but I was curious to see where he would end up. Link to post Share on other sites

KM i only joined this forum a few months ago but been reading forum for years and remember your amazing ability to find Boro links to the most obscure players from the most random of websites. You need to rediscover that ability to relieve your own boredom and ours. Summer time under AK was exciting as he liked to have 2 players for each position. Managers since him have preferred small squads and thus on whole we ended up with unbalanced squads as a result. Link to post Share on other sites
