So you are absolutely confident that Gigi's back problem won't flare up again?
And what team would accept a deal that could result in them losing their keeper at any time, just because Buffon got injured?
of course i'm NOT sure, but i'm confident
what team? any serie-b team (which probably is where the team in which a U21-Goalkeeper is playing) who got some $$$ and are allowed to keep their player (until the worst case scenario would come into action). let's take Bassi for example. He currently plays at empoli if i'm not wrong. We could (even though we know now it's not possible) give them, i don't know... 3 millions for him and let him there on loan. I'm pretty sure empoli would agree to play with belardi for a few games if they get cash instead... But as i said, it's just a wild fantasy, and i won't ever believe this will happen
No it's not possible.
EDIT: According to vimo's logic, imagine if Buffon gets injured during a match. Imagine Ranieri telling to the fourth official: "Please wait until we call our second keeper because he's on loan."
As i said, it's not like i meant this seriously, and it wouldn't be that way anyway; we'd still have belardi, remember? so belardi could come in for that game and the 'new gk' could arrive for the following game. It's not like a goalkeeper needs to practice tactics with the team...
But again, i wrote this thing because it just came into my head and i never believed it to really happen. I just don't see why we should sign a 35 year-old gk right now. It's obvious that something like that is what we need, but which goalkeeper, on a decent level, in his last years of his career, is willing to be benched? it would be more logical to sign the 'after-buffon' already, namely someone at the age of 23-24 yrs. but that again, would be idiotic because we'd destroy that boy's development by benching him. hence this loan-thingie....
