We didn’t need to sign Green last season, Bulka would have been fine fighting with Willy for the second spot.

Have you forgotten already how important Green was for our team? And I was there when he famously saved that Lyonnais penalty, so he's my second goalkeepjng hero!

He might have got hold of some lyonnaise potatoes in the club canteen but that’s all he managed.

It was epic, I'm telling you. Oh the cheering and the singing! We knew a new club legend was born. A genuine 'Where were you when Rob Green saved that penalty' moment.

 
Still think that this season Bulka is better option then Green or other keepers we have

You were sleeping because it was all in your dreams  :laugh2:

 
Bulka was never going to stick around. 

At PSG he only has Areola to get past, and he has been in and out of the team since hes been there. 

There is no way he wouldve gotten ahead of kepa with the amount we spent on him.

Good luck to him, i think he will be a very good keeper in the next 5 years.

Don't they have Buffon and Kevin Trapp too?

 
I see why Bulka wants to leave with Kepa in the team. But I do still want him to stay. He could easily replace Willy in a few years time and be a regular for lower tier competitions like Carabao and early FA cup rounds! 

If we do end up selling him, I hope its with a buyback clause

He has left already for PSG. Replace Caballero in a few years? He is going to be 38 at the start of the season. Think we handled Bulka badly personally. Made no sense keeping 2 37+ goalkeepers on our books last season considering how good he looked in preseason, and how little Caballero ended up playing.

 
Real shame.

He was the one youth keeper who looked really promising. Don't get me wrong, Kepa is very decent but we spunked, what, £70M on him when we had a really good young keeper on our books who could turn out just as good, maybe better. Hope we got a massive fee from PSG if it is confirmed, as promising keepers are hard to come by and PSG aren't short of a few quid.

I suppose, but as a keeper 38 isn't as crazy as it may seem. Plus nothing to me suggests that at this stage that Bulka is better than Caballero.

Better than Kepa based on what exactly...? 

This ridiculous hype of some of our youth players really needs to stop.

I'm saying he COULD become better than Kepa.

Kepa was okay last season. At times excellent, other times not so good - did he look like £70M worth of keeper - NO, not by a long way.

Hopefully he will get better. I expect Bulka will also get better and he's currently only 19 and COULD become great. He may disappear and end up in non-league football but who know's at this stage? Would have been nice to keep him and find out though.

It’s more a case of competing with both Green & Caballero who were both 38. Not saying he was better than Caballero but I wouldn’t have bothered signing Green, and would have given Bulka a fair opportunity at competing for the 2nd role.

Wouldn't this all have gone the same way even if we hadn't signed Green? He probably isn't sticking around to be 2nd or 3rd choice either.

Maybe with a clearer path in to the first team and a bit of faith shown after a good preseason he might have fancied his chances at being no.1 here. 

 
A shame we couldn't keep him.

Showed some good signs in pre-season last year.

And im asking what are you basing this on?

Also you're forgetting 70m in todays market is not what it used to be. Someone who is now Spain's number 1 keeper, only 24 years old with potential to get even better than he is. I think 70m is somewhat justified in todays crazy hyperinflated market. 

Its hard to estimate how good a youth player will end up at all, so its silly to say he could be as good as Kepa. By that logic I can just say Nathan Baxter could be as good as Peter Shilton, but there's simply no basis to make a comment like that. 

Look at how many amazing youth players we've had over the years who were touted for great things, and then look where they are now....
