Guglielmo Vicario

If we want a 'top' keeper who might be the other potential candidates?? I cant think of many big names.. maybe ter Stegen is no longer wanted by Barcelona, Maignan seems to want out of Milan (although I dont know much about him other than Chelsea were close to getting him last summer and he's now France no2 behind the new PSG keeper).. any other candidates?

Maignan seems to have regressed at Milan
He was quality but they were happy to sell him

Kind of highlights the point about Vic - Yes he's not perfect but he's very good and we are unlikely to sign someone guaranteed to be better all round hence the best links can come up with is someone like Martinez. It's a no from me....

Vicario is very good and under rated because people still think he is weak on set pieces despite being the best in the league as a team … so clearly he do doing something (and we were very good on them last season too)

And people want a ball playing keeper but there really really ain’t many who can pass and do the fundamental role of keeping the ball out
 
I'm expecting Pickford's name to appear at some point. 81 caps for England and only 31. He's definitely ironed out some cracks in his game over the years and performs at a very consistently high level.

It's all pointless to me though as Vic is himself in that same cycle of improvement. You can already see that especially with how he is starting to own his 18 yard box more. He's clearly got some leadership qualities that the manager's love. I'm not sure why you would look beyond him as he comes into his prime and is completely assimilated to the PL. He is clearly a top professional.

I made an argument for Pickford a few years back, his weaknesses were very similar to Lloris, assuming we were scheming around that.

Vic is way ahead of him now though imo.
