Caballero is happy even as third choice by the looks of it. Just keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 1 hour ago, ZAPHOD2319 said: It is somewhat insane that we are getting every one of our first preferred targets. GK may end that streak. Only way we get a Ter Stegen or Oblak is if Atleti or Barca have been hitting the crack pipe and think that playing in Spain will help Kepa. If Kepa were to take a slight wage reduction say to £120k a week, then something like Kepa plus £40m would actually make him very cheap for either as Oblak is already on £350k and Ter Stegan is looking at wanting that. However, even then, I just do not see how the club finance such a move. In my opinion, it will be a GK who we would normally consider as a decent GK2 that will come in and SFL will be told to try and get Kepa playing. I say this as even with a best case scenario as drawn out above, it would be something like this: Kepa + £40m = £91.5m (Kepa book value of £51.5m + £40m) Oblak/Ter Stegan wages = £91m Total = £182.5m for five years.

Kepa either has to be given another shot at 1 (Please no) or he has to be loaned/sold. Cannot have a 70Mn keeper as second choice. Need to get his value up again so he can be sold.

Pizy 18,952 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It would be a pretty massive walk back for Kepa to become our #1 again. You don't drop him for our most important matches of the season and then bring him back in. Finding a loan destination for him has to be the only reason we haven't signed anyone new yet.

Or lampard took him out of the firing line abit to get him some confidence back, we dobt no exactly the reasons behind it, I for one hope he comes good because that money on a new keeper could come in very handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see that but the total silence on the keeper front is puzzling. saving it for a last minute panic buy of some dodgy English keeper not even mentioned yet for some insane price, lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just don't think Frank fancies a keeper who is short and cannot command his area. Even if Kepa suddenly rediscovers his form he can't become bigger or taller. He will always be targetted at setpieces and on corners. Don't think Frank wants that. 2 minutes ago, Vesper said: saving it for a last minute panic buy of some dodgy English keeper not even mentioned yet for some insane price, lolol I'm still curious about two situations: what Arse are going to do to keep Leno & Martinez happy and what United are going to do with Henderson. We have to at least inquire about both situation, right? Vesper and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
