If you guys want Sommer, I will personally take him to London and bring Vicario here to Milan.
Those of you who'd like Sommer, you have no idea what you'd be getting into.
We have had enough of him at Inter, he gives away points often, he's a worse shotstopper than Vicario (very theatrical, makes simple saves appear incredible even by diving when he shouldn't), he's worse at fighting for crosses, hasn't saved a single penalty, and has some of the worst Serie A statistics for a goalkeeper.
He is officially 183 cm tall, but nobody believes it. He is surely shorter.
The only thing he had going for him was the semifinals against Barcelona. And hopefully that will be enough to convince Spurs owners to want him.
I can dream.

We have gotten so desperate of Sommer that most fans would like our #12 keeper, Josep Martinez, to play instead.
If you guys have little patience for Vicario, you'll be having nightmares with Sommer.

was he not keeper of the year last year or the year before ?
 
Kinda bored watching him play. Not top priority to move on, but feel if we could find a replacement we shouldn’t be shy about moving Vic on.

His slowing down of the game frustrates me so much. Kills all momentum
 
I would love it if one of our kids or an opposing player stood up to him and even decked the mug. He acts tough, but get physical with him and he'll cry like the giant pussy he really is.

He, Porro, Romero, Bentancur and Richarlison are up there as the biggest cunts we've ever signed. What an insult to this wonderful club of ours. Eternal shame on those who brought them to - then kept them at - the club. Utter disgrace.
 
I made this point in another thread, possibly badly 😄 (probably) - but I dont know what sort of team he is for.

I think he is a very good shot stopper. All keepers need this.

I think every team needs a keeper that inspires confidence/calm, it is essential to how the team plays (bit of an intangible, but a big deal IMO) - Vicario is terrible here.

After that its more tactical.

You want to sit deep and counter? You need a keeper who will command his box in the inevitable corners conceeded (Vicario is poor) and you need a keeper who can kick long/throw long accurately to instigate breaks (Vicarios is very poor here)

You want to play a possession game, build out from the back? You need a keeper who will use his feet confidently, will stay calm when being closed and find a pass. Will be able to put a ball into midfield if a players is in space. Also someone who will come off his line early and close the angles if the opposition gets in behind. Again, Vicario very poor in these situations IMO.

So despite being a good shot stopper - and he had made unbelievable saves - I really dont know what team he suits.

And I think we can 100% upgrade on him, probably quite easily.

Probably with Kinsky/Austin even.
