Have We Signed Michel Vorm Yet?

[Sean]

Looks like it

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Smart decision. And he we should had done the same to keep llorente

 

[SpiderSpurs]

Great signing, makes complete sense.

 

[B-0-Sspurs]

Sensible move, surprised no other clubs had picked vorm up?

 

[Doom Funk]

Makes sense although that's the January transfer budget blown

 

[Reidy]

Apparently it's an 18 month contract for Vorm







So that Levy can try and sell him for £20million in January

 

[Sean]

When I saw this had a new post was wondering if we had re-signed him again

 

[Sean]

Same - the horror!

GK coach in a few years maybe

 

[Sean]

We'll have to get Gomes back too if he does.

Nah get Robbo back

Our 3rd choice is Alfie Whiteman (21), who's incredably inexperienced. Vorm bridges the gap between Gazzaniga and Whiteman, which I think makes a lot of sense. Also, to have Vorm around on matchdays will be good support for Gazzaninga and perhaps the entire team might be a very negative feel if Gazza woke up with a cold and couldn't play. Vorm just slots in, experienced, knows the team well, they know him well etc...

Only downside is that as Vorm is overseas trained I don't think we can fit him into CL squad, but ok for PL squad

 

[Spursidol]

Ahh, had forgotten that.

Doesn't stop us signing a home trained GK, but when I looked round there were not too many options, best I could see was Mark Bunn (Spurs academy trained) who had PL experience with Norwich and Aston Villa, now GK coach at Colchester after being released by Villa in the summer.

We can of course change the CL squad in January, if Spurs fell it necessary to include rn Vorm in the squad for the knockout stages.

Actually searched for the Vorm thread so that I could post that gif...

 

[Hrytn]

Can we play 2 keepers in goal?

 

[Park Lane Mark Twain]

This is a logical move, we need a backup to our backup and nobody in the academy is good enough yet for PL football, Vorm knows the players and the club.

Not sure what the issue is, that being said, neither Gazza or Vorm are good enough to be first choice imo but what else can we do right now?

Think signing a keeper next window should be a priority personally.

Donnarumma has just over a year left of his current contract and AC Milan are all over the shop. I saw we swoop as there aren't many top teams who need a new GK at the moment.

 

[Coys1955]

5th signing of the season.

Stick that up ye John Thomas

Is he injured yet?

 

[asterdroid]

So the overhaul has started

I heard we're bringing on Bobby Ewing to play right back.

"new Manuel Neuer" only has less than a year left on his deal with Schalke.



Swoop swoop.

 

[matspur]

We're probably paying double what we paid last season ...

We Spurs fans have short memories- he really isn’t good enough for Spurs even as a back up. Like Gazza he has mistakes in him but at least Gazza has physical presence and a decent reach. I don’t remember any games that Vorm played in when I felt confident in him - he is too small and weak. I also remember the goal kick that he took that went out for a corner.

 

[Coys1955]

Makes sense but it doesn't say too much about our 3rd choice options it would seem. Smart move

Quite. Makes we wonder why we let him go in the first place.

Be interesting is he starts instead of Gazzaniga.

 

[RocketRonny]

Not much choice. One stretch for Gazzaniga and we would had to field youth GK
