My roomate is a Maccabi Haifa fan (and Inter, and RM....) so you can imagine how $#@!ty my saturdays are :)
Thank god for Juve, Rocket League and Skyrim.
:eek: This deserves an execution..
I dont have such a problem as I live in my own house with my wife and son - I already educated my wife to cheer for Juve while my son is only 5 months old so its too early for him but with my guidance he wouldnt really have a dilemma on who to cheer for :D

Think its really hard to evaluate goalkeepers overall. How much better is Donnarumma to someone like Meret?
The next Juve #1 will definitely be Italian, Szczesny will be a temporary solution only. Great backup though. An upgrade to Neto as second choice GK anyway..

Too young. He's one of those unproven talents just yet. Maybe Mattia Perin has the quality
Would like we acquire someone young to play his first and last Serie A game for us,any youngster can learn a lot in a year from Buffon,we always had a top keeper historically so I am a bit upset what will happen after G1G1 retires,hope Sczcnfhdjjffkfkdkfhdbdbdjdjdj won't happen

Szczesny is much better than all these no name youngsters people like to bring up. We ain't going to replace Buffon with a young keeper unless his name is Donnarumma and that seems unlikely.

For some reason an average football fan always seems to overrate the youngsters. I'll personally always take the proven player over the unknown potential. I'm sure if Szczesny himself was still a 20 year old hugely promising GK like he used to be people would be more than happy to have him.

Either you are buying class or you are buying potential...unfortunately Sczcney isn't any,mediocre keeper of Neto level good for 2nd choice,he is not even first at the club of Arsenal level let alone to be the first keeper here on the goal where once stand Zoff,Buffon,Van der Sar...we grew up a lot as a club but we still have transfer mentality like we are 3rd tier club,nobody is realistic for us,if we hear that few other big name clubs are interested we are retreating all the time,everybody is unobtainable...etc,but the truth is more than half of those super players would push their respective clubs to join us,it's not year 2009 anymore, it's 2017

Yup that's quality,or Curtois,or Donarumma...show them money and see what will happen,no club in the world is immune on money,especially clubs like athletico or Milan
Oblak is my dream GK - IMO he is the best under 30 GK in the world!
Donnarumma is also a very good choice as he is already very good and if he plays like that right now he will become amazing in no time!
Curois - Honestly Im not his biggest fan but he is ok I guess..

IMO we should take another season to evaluate but we need to invest the money on midfielders wingers attackers right now since next season we might need to splash some on a GK
Sczesney is ok as a 2nd choice to Buffon but I wouldnt want him to be our primary GK when Buffon hangs up his boots

My first choice is Donnarumma since he is extremely young and is Italian and for some reason I feel it is a bonus that the GK is Italian as I rate Italians better and with better potential when playing in GK or CB!
Second choice is actually my favorite Oblak who is IMO the best under 30 GK and 2nd overall only to our Superman
Third choice will be De Gea I guess even if I dont think he is worth as much as being said

- - - Updated - - -

There is actually one more guy who is Italian and can be Buffon heir
Seems like a very good young GK but I remember Leali also had a great youtube and I dont think anyone consider him to be Buffon`s heir..
