no way he will be first. I think Spurs will want to announce a bigger signing first

I don't think Spurs cares about announcements more than mere formality. They'd rather parade the whole lot at a go for the convenience

This one is strange to me, unless we're planning on letting Vorm go. No reason to have three first-team keepers - in practice, if the first two are injured, the club involved will just ask to loan an emergency keeper for a month or so to cover the gap.
Someone like Whiteman or De Bie being third-choice keeper is fine in those circumstances, because really, they're not going to get used unless the coaching staff are absolutely sure that they can cope with the expectations and undue pressure. To the extent that they're willing to forgo loaning an emergency keeper in for the duration of the injuries to both first-team goalies.
Still, mustn't grumble - it's strengthening the side, even if it's in a position of little real need.

Especially as the emergency GK rule means you can pick up any old journeyman like this on a day's notice, even outside the window.
I would much rather we just got Pau Lopez, who really does seem a talent for the future/a possible long-term successor to Lloris.

It appears that we were only interested in Lopez if we could get him for a really low price.
Gazza
Frederic Kanoute
Goes to show how desperate we were to do the deal.
Maybe getting him in at a later date or kissy not worth the money.

Jack L. Jones
It's a bit of an odd one because he sounded like a decent player, Poch knew him and the money wasn't crazy
Gazza
Frederic Kanoute
Maybe they have seen a better GK with more potential? Or perhaps after a closer look they thought he may not be all that
Gutter Boy
Tim Sherwood
I think more likely we'll sign Lopez on a pre-contract in January, and this guy is just a temp
Gazza
Frederic Kanoute
Very feasible as his contract is winding down

Jack L. Jones
I'd be surprised if Gazzaniga is that player but it wouldn't be the first time I got it completely wrong, if he was.
Gazza
Frederic Kanoute
Safe stop gap?
milo
Jack L. Jones
Must be but like @DubaiSpur and @Gutter Boy have said, a third choice senior goalkeeper seems a little unnecessary
Gazza
Frederic Kanoute
Unless poch sees it differently
milo
Jack L. Jones
Almost certainly. He knows the player from their time at Southampton but I think that it seems like a funny one on the face of it.
