Hello ed1 hope u well.
Have u heard what clubs intentions are as regards goalkeeping situation?
Whether we go with mamar as no.1 next season and give him his chance or do we keep alisson as no.1 and sell mamar( I don't believe he would stay another season as no.2) or do we try and buy a new no.1 due to mamar not convincing + Allison getting more and more injury prone
{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware no decisions have been made yet.}

Do you rate James Trafford at city Ed?
{Ed001's Note - no, he can't handle pressure at all. He constantly boots the ball into touch when put under even tiny pressure, which is a real worry. He is ok when he is a back up, there is no pressure on him, but as a starter he is terrible. Ridiculously overrated keeper.}

Do you know anything about Lens GK Robin Risser Ed? A lot of peoples have been saying good things about him.
{Ed001's Note - no, nothing sorry mate.}

Thanks for response ed1. Tricky 1 as if ali was relatively injury free it no brainer, give him 3year contract and your sorted but with the regularity of his injuries it a major problem. Not easy on a 2nd choice to come in and out of team all the time either

I think we have been spoiled by how good Alisson has been. He is a generational talent and has single-handedly (sometimes with feet as well) stopped multiple games becoming lost or drawn.
We will be able to replace him, but I doubt any keeper playing will currently be anywhere near as good as him. I think our expectations should be for a keeper closer to Reina's level, not Alisson's.

Who is out there that you could consider to be a good option for GK Ed001 and other posters?
{Ed001's Note - maybe Roefs from Sunderland?}

Robin Risser is definitely one to watch. Big lad, excellent shotstopper. He does need some work on holding rather than palming the ball out, though. He looks like he is made of rubber the way he springs about. Really good at one on ones. Would like to see more of how he would handle being a sweeper keeper and more of his passing, though.

Roefs, i'm a bit of a keeper nerd being an ex one, he's looked as good as anyone this season to me ED01, i'd be happy If he was unde consideration

Bart Verbruggen looks the part, with my limited knowledge of keepers, I would look at snaffling him. Some of his saves this season have been outrageous, reminds me of Clem.

I'm with you, Iron
Man.
Verbruggen for me would be the choice.

Hopefully he is better than a keeper we previously bought from Sunderland ?
