DavidEU 2,023 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Villas odds to sign Begovic have been cut massively today. They're 2/1 out of nowhere. They really do need a goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANILA 290 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 expensive, but would be a fantastic second goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Begovic wouldn't be quite the same as having Cech as back up, but would certainly be the next best after and can play big games if need be.After 3 years of Turnbull as second choice it's quite refreshing knowing that Mou will never let us get into that situation again.

He's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well, he's good enough to start for probably all but 3 teams in the PL. He's good enough.That's exactly why I don't think he should come here. He's actually a great goal keeper and I think there's many places, even in Europe, where he'd go and be their #1. But if he wants to come, it would be a great line up of Thibaut-Asmir as #1-#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the GK position is one where I guess a goalkeeper doesn't mind being second fiddle at a big club because they will get a good amount of exposure, knowing a single keeper won't play the entire season and it's only really a 2-man position in the overall matchday squad. And definitely agree to the latter. Years of having Hilario have been bad enough, I still continue to remember his howlers especially against Man City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years of having Hilario have been bad enough, I still continue to remember his howlers especially against Man City I seem to be in the minority but i think Hilario wasn't anywhere near as bad as was made out, that City game unfairly tainted what was overall a decent if not spectacular 5 years as no 2-3 keeper (he played his last game in 2011).He struggled a bit when he had to play a run of games like in Christmas 2006 we started to concede goals for fun, but to come in for a one off game, or a run of 3/4 (like against Barcelona and Liverpool) i never had an issue, certainly not in the Cudicini, Begovic bracket off back up, but certainly head and shoulders above Turnbull.

Where United & Arsenal struggled with life post Schmeichel & Seaman respectively, we've had it relatively easy. Bonetti, Beasant, de Goey, Cudicini, Cech, Courtois. In between that there was Schwarzer too!We've not been shy go after others either. Iirc, this isn't our first approach for Begovic (I believe Carlo went for him?) and it wasn't too long ago we wanted Butland, before he settled on Stoke.

Even now, he's only 22 so he's got time to live up to the potential he seems to show. But yeah, for us it would've been a case of loan & sell.
