I think the new skipper will be Emerson!
I hope we're still saying that in 8 weeks time.
Aren't they being kicked down 5 divisions? You should go support Bayern munchen or PSGWe're fucked. I'm off to support Man City. Anyone want to join me?
He has got to be better than Kane in goal!Forster is a solid keeper, not more than that, but if we can play properly, that will be all we need for the short term.
I'm not too worried.
Will be a real shame if Hugo has played his last game for the club without saying goodbye to the fans.
We really shouldn't have anything to worry about from a 41 year old Zlatan. Leao has to be the primary concern, having a decent season for them despite how badly they're doing, their defence also will be a tough nut to crack and Tonali is a cracking CM.Lloris is out for the next few CL rounds. But they're is a rumour here in Sweden that Zlatan might be back for Milan this weekend and probably next week.
You're right, he isn't even included in their CL squadWe really shouldn't have anything to worry about from a 41 year old Zlatan. Leao has to be the primary concern, having a decent season for them despite how badly they're doing, their defence also will be a tough nut to crack and Tonali is a cracking CM.
People who pretend that shot stopping isn't the lion's share of a keeper's value are only fooling themselves.
Do you think there will be a scenario where he will get a 1 year contract extension offer as we struggle through the summer to find a replacement?Will be a real shame if Hugo has played his last game for the club without saying goodbye to the fans.
In my view he's dropped down levels in the last couple of seasons, but despite all the clangers he's still been a great servant to the club.
I think he's done at the top level, I don't think a 1 year contract extension is a good idea unless we have no other choice. But I could see a scenario about not finding a replacement as you laid it out.Do you think there will be a scenario where he will get a 1 year contract extension offer as we struggle through the summer to find a replacement?
Would you want that? Do you think he'd settle to be backup in his last years as a pro?
Some positives & negatives to it, but I think its a real possibility.
Won't make no difference with a new goalie when the defence sucks ass.People who pretend that shot stopping isn't the lion's share of a keeper's value are only fooling themselves.
Hugo is in decline even in that regard but he's still among the best. Replacing him will take some doing and is a big challenge for us moving forward.
