Guglielmo Vicario

Well, we've only had him and Lloris since 2012, and Hugo was world class

To be honest, I'd probably rate our EPL-era GKs something like:

1) Lloris
2) Robinson
3) Thorstvedt
4) Vicario
5) Friedel
6) Walker
7) Gomes
8) Keller
9) Sullivan

Robinson much lower down the list for me. He was dreadful for the last 18-24 months. I’m convinced he was blind when it came to shots from outside the area. Vicario also way lower than Friedel.

Sounds like we’re doing all we can to get Venom’s wages off the books… hopefully making way for a marquee forward signing 🤞

Another player no-one is that keen on

I think he only has 2 years left...so if Juve burn 1 of those seasons with no obligation...he potentially comes back with just one year left. Then worth £5m max

They just don't want to buy him because they are getting Allison on a free next summer

A loan without an obligation is pointless.

Make it clear to his agent he won't be leaving on loan without a reachable obligation

He can spend the season putting out cones
 
Yeah, Friedal only second to Lloris for me, rock solid keeper before being good with the feet was wanted or needed.

Friedel was a great guy but at 40 years old was a poor keeper. He kept getting beaten in the bottom corners and didn't venture more than a yard off his line ever. He never put himself where he might get hurt either. I was very mad at Harry for his treatment of Gomes. Considering he was supposed to be such a great man manager, that was shocking treatment. Gomes then proved Harry and all his other doubters wrong by his incredible performances at Watford. Fans like me weren't in the bit surprised at how strong he came back.

I always admired Brad though. He tried to take "soccer" back to the US and in the process lost all his money. He had to start again and play to that grand old age when others were retiring and putting their feet up. Just shows what the human body can do if you have the right focus and discipline.

he's a pretty intelligent commentator too - very direct and technical

I thought it was a gambling addition that did for that?
 
and that has been our problem this transfer season... none of the senior players we were desperate to sell had any real demand, especially from premiership teams... and selling to the continent means accepting continental prices.
well finishing #17th two years in a row does that... and Europa is a European micky mouse cup !

Or... in a less confrontational manner, get him to agree to an option to extend the contract by one year - solely at the club's discretion
