if you think about it, the reason juve is so good is because of him

we all know the defense isn't good. but how can juve keep so many clean sheets and low goal conceded if you don't have incredible shot stopper?

he is best goalie this year in serie a

thread with some important saves. he's really having a good season.

Shouldve done better on Frosinone goal though, with Tek moving like that even I could score there

I blame it on the cap

Rabiot?

He's not good enough to be a starter for a Scudetto team, pls dont prolong it

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Once again he’s been pretty solid again this season. Always has a clanger or two in him during the course of a campaign, but he’s won us many points over the years too. Happy if he extends and takes a wage cut.

I always hated his salary, 6,5m is way too much. Hopefully they settle for at least 5m

We really should be looking for a good replacement with reasonable wages though.

I have no doubts Giuntoli and co are scoping out some names, but I’ve always said (his large wages aside) he’s the least of our problems right now. Seems to be a great locker room character and leader as well.

I don't entirely disagree. What I meant is that we need to have someone back him up who will be his long term replacement the way he was for Gigi. Someone young, cheap and with a lot of upside.

When his contract runs out, his next paycheck will be similar to Tek's I'd assume.

Meret might be available on a free transfer.

How is he the least of our problems? In terms of personnel, we are among the top 2-3 teams in Serie A in all of attack, midfield and defense, but goalkeeper is one of the obvious positions where we're absolutely midtable. Not only teams like Inter or Milan have a better goalkeeper, but teams like Fiorentina and Monza do too.

Tek has been absolutely mediocre for years, advanced stats not only say that he has not been a top3 goalie in the league for years, most of the time he's also outperformed by Perin.

You think Fiorentina and Monza have a better GK than us? No point carrying on this discussion then. You’re not a serious person.

you can make an argument that he doesn't deserve the high salary, but tek has been incredible this season. the defense leaks chances and tek has been reliable at saves almost all season. to say the 1-0 wins is thanks to defense being incredible is both overrating the defense, and underrating tek's contributions

I dont watch Monza or Fiorentina, but advanced goalkeeping stats are saying that their goalies are having a remarkable season while Tek is simply ok. And its not an anomaly, Teks stats have been unremarkable to bad for years now

you need to remember they leak more chances because they are not defensive teams so goalkeepers get to save more shots.

you need your goalkeeper to be sharp in a defensive team. because your team might leak only one shot at goal but that shot needs to be saved so the goal keeper needs to have sharp focus and reflexes in a match where he might not touch the ball for many minutes at a time.
