What's new

Donnarumma

So Mike Maignan is going to Milan after all.

Should we give it a go ? he's only 20 but already with a ton of experience, getting your goalkeeper for the next 10 years for free is a no brainer. Apparently Juve are the favorites to sign him but maybe he wants a bit a peace of mind and would want to come to England? We can match any salary that Juve offers but i think we would need to get rid of Kepa first.

So, it seems he's off to PSG on a free transfer. While Mendy has done pretty well since joining, I can't help but think that we should have made a move for the 22 year old that has the potential to be the next Cech.

Absolutely, hardly made any real mistakes, and so many clean sheets, he is an exceptional keeper, next season he'll rival any one in the PL.

Completely agree.  Add on to that the pressure he managed internally from the expectations and spotlight on the position, plus moving countries during the covid year.  He has been nothing short of outstanding.

This is completely subjective, but he comes across as a very humble and hard working individual, very aware and appreciative of the opportunities he has earned in life.   That shows in his performances and mentality.  He is brave, and at a young 28, has years ahead of him.  A bit of a late bloomer for sure, but in 5-6 years we may be very concerned on how we replace in.  Not directly comparable, but a certain Drogba was also a late bloomer, and that worked out nicely for Chelsea.

Van der Sar is another good example of a goalkeeper who bloomed late and was brilliant in his mid 30s.
