When he becomes the best keeper in the world and there's 140 pages in this thread, I can say that I was on page 4.
Ashamed to admit I didn't realise Pau was one 22! The signing makes a whole lot more sense than I thought in that case.
For some reason I thought he was around 30 odd (no idea where I got that from).
It's a funny one with keepers. If he plays I hope we don't have to find out how good he is today but if we do let's hope he has a solid debut!

Points taken, I guess I'm just still in awe of some of the saves Gazzaniga made.
Hugo is 29 years old. Hugo is a keeper, not a winger.
We don't need to sign his heir yet.

You're sounding more English already! Like it. :dierpochhug:Right, mate. No need to be a proper bellend. Quacks like a septic, must be a septic, innit? Blimey.
(Didn't mean it to come across cunty if it did. It's just one of those Americanisms I can't stand when used in reference to Soccer).
Vorm is only contracted until 2018 and that means come the summer only 12 months and so that could mean IF lopez is considered good enough he will stay
I think this is still all part of a longer term plan. Wouldn't be surprised if the Vorm signing is to maintain his value going into next summer where he might well be sold - bet he wants to move for regular first team football while age is still on his side.
Edit: as spursmalc just pointed out, Vorm's extension isn't very long, and so is probably similar to the recent "well fuck it, we might as well get something for you" Tommy Carroll contract.
Long term projects always seem like a waste of time in their first period.
I'm surprised people are only just remembering Lopez and bringing him up again. He said months ago that Poch spoke to him and explained a long term plan for Lopez and that he was a big fan of it and wanted to see where it goes.
He's not stupid. He wouldn't of signed thinking he was going to play every game or even any games. He's here to learn and adapt and to become our first choice goal keeper in the future. Poch obviously sees quite a lot in him, the deal seemed very personal and a project close to heart for Poch.
That is brilliant.
As mentioned many times in this thread it does look like a Poch picked player, I didn't know much about him before he joined but he was an outstanding keeper in La Liga the year before, made the most saves if I'm correct to, if any keeper goes it will be Vorm, Lloris signed until 2022 and is our captain, no chance he leaves this summer
Knee injury.
Goalkeepers are generally four or so years behind outfield players in development etc. They mature later and they last longer like a good Parmesan! At his age he should be happy to be on the fringes of a top team.
And now he gets a chance to show what he can do.
Pau is a good keeper, don't be fooled by his lack of appearances for us
