Guglielmo Vicario

[Lemonade Money]

Got to say, I found that a bit ott. Not sure if it’s the Italian connection they may have or if it’s Venom’s mad personality. Either way it looked weird

If Romero does that it's a red card.

That's not taking into account goals that have been caused by him flapping about and unsettling the defence/crowd.

Venom has gone from gonading Bergvall to strangling the gaffer, dread to think what he’ll do if he’s still here next season

It’s passion
It’s football
Good for them as they were clearly fine with it and actually enjoyed it

I’m not sure RDZ liked it at all. My memory is that he didn’t acknowledge Vicario through the whole thing. It had the weird look of the school bully hanging off someone’s neck while pretending to be their mate.

Heat of the moment and all that, but not something most people would attempt with their boss, outside the confines of Ricky Gervais’s The Office.

Sounds like an option rather than an obligation.

Vicario is far from the worst keeper we have had but ultimately it was a mistake to not get Raya.

Think he's the worst we have had in the last 10 years at least

we have had but ultimately it was a mistake to not get Raya.

Perhaps, Kinsky is the future though. Quality player despite the nonsense he had to put up with from the last 2 managers.

Think he's the worst we have had in the last 10 years at least

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

So, as we only think football started in 1992 - he's probably around 15th at best

Well the only other one was Lloris.

I do like Kinsky though.

Are you including Thordsvedts full career?

I became a goalkeeper because of Ian Walker as a 9 year old……because he was so brick I decided I had to be the one to do something about it and displace him in the first team.

 

[Yiddo]

I used to love Walker, no idea why. I also loved Espen Baardsen after he made his debut against Liverpool i believe? I ended up getting the orange and Blue multi colour goalkeeper top because of that game.

Loved Baardsen and Sullivan because they displaced Walker. Baardsen was unreal but couldn’t kick the ball from what I recall.

This was my post in the who was our best keeper thread a few months back.

Back pass rule completley ruined Thordsvedt but prior to that he was probably a top 5 keeper in the Fooball League and top 25 in the world. But that was prior to the Prem.

Gomes, Robinson and Sullivan were all good keepers at their best but for various reasons lost confidence and fell away.

Keller was a bit like C rate a Vicario. Great shot stopper but terrible distributon. We had another keeper called Espen Baardsen who came in for Walker for a period that made some incredible saves but couldn’t even take goal kicks.

Walker was actually had great distribution and good at corners, maybe even the best of the lot, but was terrible as a shot stopper at times win poor positioning.

Cudicini as I said was probably the best #2 we have had. A step up from Vorm who was a decent himself as a backup.

 

[MadSpurs]

Well the only other one was Lloris.

I do like Kinsky though.

So we have ONLY had 2 keepers in 10 years? Really?

 

[tw12yid]

Sounds like an option rather than an obligation.

Not ideal but better than him not going somewhere and us having a squad issue or paying a player for a year to train.

 

[robp135]

Lloris and Vicario have been the only number 1’s until now. The rest have been backups that only came in due to injury. Vorm, Gazzaniga, Forster, Austin and Kinsky who has now became #1.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Are you including Thordsvedts full career?

Yeah. I guess he played 4 years either side. It was the introduction of the backpass rule that suddenly killed his career

Vicario is far from the worst keeper we have had but ultimately it was a mistake to not get Raya.

A decision which worked out about as well in the long term as signing Lo Celso over Fernandes; although that faux pas didn’t help a rival win the EPL at least.
