Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

To be faìr, 95% of fans were just blinded by his beauty.

To be honest though the role of backup GK is mainly to be a good training companion for your #1. Being competent in LC games is then a bonus
It was more Lloris had fallen to such a poor level it was begining to be the case that any new keeper looked a better option than Lloris.

Pau Lopez was probably the one that got away from that period/that we should have taken our option on and moved Vorm on for. He's gone on to have a decent career at CL-level clubs.
 
Obviously, nobody wants to see Venom unavailable. I'm sure well have a curiosity how things would play it if he was though. My guess is Forster would be PL keeper and Austin would also get a chance in the EL.

The bigger question would be whether we would be calm with our backup keepers, or it would be another spell like Gazzaniga's when Hugo was injured.

It must be tough for Austin and Whiteman though. They've probably observed how a GK like Jordan Archer's career has gone since leaving. He was immense at Millwall, but now sits on the bench for Pompey. I think he was even without a club as a free agent for a bit as well. It's the better the devil you know vs the grass is greener argument.
 
We've got to clear out all 3 of Forster, Austin and Whiteman asap (two are imminently out of contract anyway).

Archer might not be a bad call to bring back - have him as #2 and promote Gunter or Keely to #3. It would be a clever move for our club trained issue.

Otherwise I'd maybe bring in Sam Tickle from Wigan as our new #2.
