Guglielmo Vicario

seems like a good keeper in Italy, probably will find the EPL a bit of a shock to start, but hopefully he's got a bit of mental strength.

I would say if Raya wants to join us its going to be pre-contract in January and thank you very much, £40m becomes zilch.

I reckon Raya will go to United
 
Haven’t Brentford already signed a replacement? He will go this window and someone will get him at a knocked down price near the end of the window. They are not going to play him over the new keeper and they are hardly going to let someone who can bring in £25m sit on the bench and leave for free.

Here's a decent long-read from The Athletic about Vicario.
Too long to paste but many pleasing things to read there.

From that he seems like a Postecoglou match signing. A goalkeeper comfortable with the ball at his feet and starting plays. A player who is not afraid to make a mistake and is brave enough to stick to his style of play. I think that that’s the mentality of players which it is said that Postecoglou wants from his players.

He will need to sort out his parrying. He can’t keep pushing saves back into dangerous areas. He won’t get away with that in the Premier League. Players will be quick on the rebounds. Plus it encourages opponents to almost shoot on sight as, even if it doesn’t go in, there’s a chance that a rebound opportunity will be there for the opposing team. If he can improve this side of his game then he could be perfect for us.


Ultimately I wanted us to get Raya but signing Vicario could prove to be a very astute transfer.

Even if Brentford cave as the deadline approaches you still need someone that is:

1. after a gk
2. willing to pay £25m of their budget on him.
3. and Raya will also need to be willing to commit the next chapter of his career to that club

There wont be many clubs if any that fit all that criteria.

Completely. When the Vicario stuff came up with comments that it would be this weekend when we signed hm, I wondered whether that was to allow a few days for Raya to pressure Brentford. They now have 3 keepers and per someone above, that doesnt feel like a logical situation for them to start next season with

No thats why I used the word prospect. But he is highly thought of in Italy and Buffon called him the future Italian number 1, so I am willing to give him more than a Youtube chance at Spurs. Its about what he does in our shirt, not social media

I have been thinking about what you said and I now definitely leaning over to your way of thinking
 
Every club has a player liaison manager. Its a pretty tough job - babysitting 25 juveniles, sorting their housing and other daily affairs. Brad Friedel has always seemed a popular character, despite the nepotism
