Navas definitely has the big game experience we need

- - - Updated - - -


I like him too but navas would be easier to get as psg are looking to offload him
Navas is a GK with ups and downs + I dont know how old he is but I guess he is nearing the end of his career.
We need to do like Milan - They lost Donnarumma but got someone who is perhaps even better. Both can be WC on their day but the difference -> Donnarumma is prone to mistakes.

What is this shit, we better not

Did he even play a full season as a first GK?
Did he even complete a season without blunders?

I guess the answer is no so.. no thanks.

Donnarumma is their full time starter.


Why would anyone say no to signing him? 23 year old Italian top goalie who is easily superior to declined Woj.


I mean we are glad Perin plays when Woj is injured for God's sake.

Easily superior? Yes but he is very prone to mistakes which makes him not that easily superior.
Wages are high and we already looking to reduce it.
Woj is not in decline, he is a good GK who always been good and nothing more.
Perin - Perin is a very good backup to have but Woj is clearly better.
We need to do like Milan rather than drool on a blunder machine.

We should not commit massive wages on a blunder-prone mercenary, especially in a position where there are plenty of other good options for way cheaper and we are desperately short on other positions like full-backs, CB and wingers. Hard pass on Dollarumma.

It's amazing how the general consensus has changed compared to last year when Arrivabene and Cherubini were declared morons for not taking him...

Euhm, wouldn't he be our highest paid player...? And I don't exactly believe he wants out of that golden cage anyway.

Salary wise I understand reservations (tho I don't know how much his is). But truly this forum lives in its own warped bubble.


Or just butthurt we didn't sign him a year ago? He made a couple blunders with Azzurri (what other blunders you talking about? He is on point for PSG), but otherwise he is extremely consistent top goalie. But somehow in this forum he is talked about like he is Joe Hart. And not one of the best young top goalies.



Woj is not currently not good enough to start for us anymore. Replacing him with a 23 year old who is more commanding presence in saves are no brainer.


Woj has advantage on him in possession, which is also what he has as advantage over Perin too (and had over Buffon too but that didn't matter). But still yes I want to replace Woj when I want us to start Perin rest of this week. Not seeing his decline is dishonest. He used to be someone who could depend on to be near top goalie levels. He isnt anymore.


If the money was right, and its replacing Woj, especially age 23 (huge longevity factor, same age Buffon was when we signed him), then no brainer for me.


If the choice was between Donna or someone like Maignan I would get, Maignan is great and cheaper. But not when its Woj. And there's not many young top goalies around at all.

Well, the blunder against Real/Benzema comes to mind... If Tek did that for us...

The Szczesny bashing here is harsh. The guy had a few blunders at the beginning of last season due to lack of concentration but later on he saved us points on numerous occasions.
I don't think it's harsh at all he has been terrible and not even just at the start of last season.

Trust me, I fully supported him before in previous years and called him often underrated compared to other top goalies. He was very dependable.

But for over a year now he just looks like an ordinary goalie making questionable decisions and hesitating in the basics he did blinking. I dont feel any trust at all with him. Seeing him going down the De Gea path of decline.


Something is wrong when majority of Juve fans are clamoring for his backup to start.

We need a new goalkeeper, that is certain. However, most modern goalkeepers are expected to be good with their feet. And if we are planning to break bank for a goalkeeper, he has to be great in all aspects, which Donnarumma is not.

And then followed it up with a fumble vs Marseille

Woj is not a top GK - Agree
What other blunders? Are you serious, he has way too many of them. Just in his last game the goal they conceded against us is because of him.
He has blunders from time to time. Aside for them - Yeah he is definitely miles ahead of Woj.
I just cant root for someone who makes too many blunders.
Woj is a 7 GK in a team that aspire to be one of the best in Europe
Donnarumma is a 9 but his blunders make it hard to ignore so it drops him straight to 7.
If we can eliminate his errors from his game, ofcourse I want him to join.

Woj is a good GK, he just isnt a great one.
At the beggining he was awful but now he is tolerable.
He isnt for top level but he is a good GK
