Mignolet Discussion
I think he's put in an outstanding performance, okay a few bad distributions but that's going to happen - other than that he's
- Been very vocal with the back
- Shot stopping has been superb
- Confidence in dominating his area and understand when to go for the ball, some of those rushes were squeaky bum time but he didn't doubt himself and his confidence is showing in his form.
Just before half time he played a fucking blinder, if we went into the dressing room at 1-1, with the way The Saints were playing, the 2nd half would have been very, very different.
So do you guys think in the summer we're going to sign a 2nd Goalkeeper, someone who isn't necessarily going to push for the 1st spot (Maybe not on Mingolet's level, but obviously we have to upgrade from Jones now - that's going to happen in the summer without doubt.)
Or do you think actually, we'll still try and go for an upcoming or bigger name keeper, bit like the Valdés route in Jan (So glad we didn't actually get him!) but yeah, someone who has the capability to contest with Mingolet?
I ask this because top teams have generally had a solid number one keeper who isn't being contested, but we were going for that route in Jan, do you think we still will?

i think we certainly need another goal keeper, migs has played outstanding since he came back but if he losses his form, misses a match for whatever reason or gets injured we will need another good keeper.
Hopefully we can get Mat Ryan from Club Brugge, he's got good distribution and makes some solid saves from the little I've seen of him. Also fairly young and has won the best goalkeeper in Belgium twice in a row.
He is only 184cm though
He is only 184cm though - yet he has won best goalkeeper it obviously doesn't affect his game
Victor Valdes isn't tall either and he's a quality keeper, And this is because they both have excellent distribution.
Barthez was 178, still made it to the world cup with France.
Schalke's Ralf Fährmann is damn solid, and he's 196. Might be possible to pry off them without a huge outlay, given that Schalke seems to have an infinite supply of good goalkeepers.
How short is De Gea?
Pessimist i see
1.92m
We should have got Vorm in my opinion. Spurs have Friedel as a backup already and Lloris is untouchable.
100% agree with you, Vorm is a fantastic keeper.
Didn'tRodgers want Vorm but the committee didn't approve it?
He's pretty old alright, not sure how much he'd want in wages but maybe the age was a factor? I remember we wanted Begovic or Mignolet too
They could lose Lloris without CL. Friedel is also about 1000. I'd take vorm though
