NikkiCFC 8,459 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It is completely irrelevant if Mendy would saved it. And I see a lot of talk about this. If Koeman decides to rest Messi in Copa Del Rey game (even final) and Braithwaite does not score in some attacking situation, their fans wont go: oh, Leo would dribble here past 3 players and score... Mendy is my POTY pick for this season and best GK in the league so it is crazy to expect the same from Kepa. You can blame TT tho. but Kepa does not deserve this shit.

You can blame TT tho. but Kepa does not deserve this shit. hmm so, you are saying that Mendy is so good, but so good that Kepa not being anywhere near that standard makes him still OK? 🤔 How about this: Mendy is indeed an excellent goal keeper. And most other top clubs have excellent goal keepers as well. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. however, none of them have this deficiency with long shots. It's kinda a deal breaker at this level. My personal take is that Kepa is one of the worst goalies I've seen play the game - especially at this level. Folks are being WAY too nice to him here. He hurts the team's defense in ways that are difficult to measure, but defending is consistently worse whenever he plays. Perhaps because players scramble to close down the opposition to avoid long shots? Mendy was one of the reasons we started defending better. heh, would be very surprised if Kepa plays under Tuchel again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,366 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Kepa don't deserve this. Right. But Tuchel deserved because it is his choise that suppost cost us a title! Magic Lamps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 368 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Curious what happens to him, players of his age usually don't want to stay on bench, you'd think he'd lower his wages and move somewhere else to play each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, he wouldn't just have to lower his wages a bit but by a massive amount. By all accounts we gave him somewhere around £170k a week for 7 years. He won't go to another PL side and no top team in Europe will want him. He would probably have to accept something like £20k a week. Then we get to the matter of the fee we paid for him. It is a disaster all round. At best we get a loan where someone covers £30k of his wages.

They are all at a similar level. Which is crazy considering 2 or 3 years ago at the World Cup Kepa was considered to be the Spanish publics preferred choice to be their number 1 ahead of De Gea. Then years before that De Gea was seen as the best player in that position in world football. Its been weird.

Popular Post! DDA 10,040 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post! Share Posted June 11, 2021 Think we need to give this lad a little credit. Despite his current situation with being demoted to second choice GK... he has handled (pun inteded) the situation like a pro. Fair play... it must not have been easy.. and he hasn't held any bitter feelings towards his team mates or coaching staff. Good lad.

Agreed unlike Torres he's still (from what i can see) been a decent infulence off the pitch. Hopefully the rumours of Sarri wanting him are true as it will suit every party.
