It’s bizarre isn’t it? He was absolutely, without question, abysmal for us. Easily the worst goalkeeper I’ve ever seen
Like I say, I'm certain he's way better than what we saw but to be worth more than what starting L2 players in total are probably worth is absolue madness. (Probably too far re. the valuation of L2 players but I'm making a point )

That's the Bosman ruling for ya😀
‘Power to the people’ something I suspect 99.9% of everyone on here agrees with? Though the state will always have primacy in that.

Kovar for me was a bit like a Shade type player in that he had the hard stuff - in his case, big enough and able to play the ball on the ground in the way that modern top flight teams want. His basics absolutely weren't good enough, and that was a huge problem at our level where frankly, you do quite a lot of actual goalkeeping. In theory at least, that stuff should be easier to improve than trying to make a great shot stopper into a sweeper keeper. Young players improve all the time though, and presumably he has!

Can't blame Kane weirdly, he will want that all time record and isn't far off it
Premier League goal scoring record - not to be sneezed at, true. BUT...3 or 4 Bundesliga titles (maybe a Champions League medal)...and few German Cup medals for good measure. PLUS a fantastic lifestyle in a beautiful part of the world for him and his family...Germany is a great country and Bavaria is amazing. To me, it should be a total no brainer...

agree with many but he was a kid. swindon was his first taste of senior football and he had wellens, hunt and sheridan as manager in his 21 games with us in what was an awful season of football. senior goalkeepers were a mess in that season- let alone kovar so we should cut him a huge amount of slack. wrong player at the wrong time. playing in front of a decent back 4 in a successful team would have been interesting to see. now aged 23, impressed at burton on loan, and with united. pre-season tour with usa many united fans were saying he should be challenging in the new no.1 as people were that impressed with his games.

Won't be the first young player to improve with age and experience. I guess being at a huge club with the best facilities and best staff will always help.
I don't think many people will disagree in the fact his loan spell with us was awful. I personally am not hugely surprised he's gone on to command a decent fee, you don't get to be third choice keeper at Man U if you don't have anything about you. Now is the time to see if he sinks or swim as a first choice (I'm assuming) keeper at a big club.

Tottenham accept the offer, Kane wants to go, give him permission to go to Munich for medical.
Gets to airport, they revole premission and try to change the deal.
How cuntish is that

Liverpool, who baulked at the transfer fee for Jude Bellingham have now bid 111 million for Brighton's Caicedo. Baffling - until the point made by Quagmire below.

In their defence. That was before their whole midfield fucked off to Saudi.

No, that is a fair point, well made.

…which not only depleted their midfield but also would have bought in a fair few quid extra to spend as well…
