They paid £12m for him so he can't be all bad.
Is he the guy who was signed as a Courtois replacement and spent most of last season injured?
Saw him a couple of times, looked okay. Couldn't possibly comment as to whether he'd be a good DDG replacement though.
One thing is for sure, if we can avoid a Spaniard who dreams of playing for Madrid or Barca then great.
Seen him in a few games this season. Great presence and a young keeper. He's impressed me when I've seen him. I think it was a game against Real Marid or Barca, he kept saving everything, looks like a very good young keeper.
We should also be looking at Bernd Leno from Leverkusen, he has so much potential, and already a very good keeper
Yea, just checked his wiki and he was injured a fair bit... I noticed he played for Benfica and asked one of my Benfiquista friends about him, just now... Also gives him high praise as great potential.
If De Gea leaves, I think we will go for an established keeper rather than potential.
JSP - my mates (also Benfica fans) raved about him and were annoyed to lose him to Atletico. He forced his way into the first team there at a young age as well so they saw his potential
He had a great game against Real Madrid this season but I suspect we will end up buying the Ajax keeper Cillessen who I have seen next to nothing of.
I suspect Begovich will be on the short list too
Really hope we don't sign Cillessen, didn't look commanding or too great at the world cup at all
but I suspect we will end up buying the Ajax keeper Cillessen who I have seen next to nothing of.
Why? Because someone in the Mirror or The Sun said so?
The biggest worry with him is he's only played a handful of games for both Benfica and Atletico... Hard to even judge his potential

Agree, his saving technique reminded me of a Sunday league keeper

Because we have a Dutch manager and goalkeeping coach. Put it this way it wouldn't surprise me as they obviously know him well and if they rate him then even more so.
There's been nothing solid at all in the links with Cillesen, it's just repeated garbage in the Star or Mirror. No one has a clue who we are targeting, just like last summer. Which is good.
If you say so but we are linked with everyone so we are all guessing about all positions. Look how many CFs we are linked with. Just saying it really wouldn't surprise me. I mean why would Atletico sell Oblak right now.
you should get Handanovik. starts ahead of Oblak for Slovenia will probably play today vs England. He's 30 so still has a few years in him. There was talk of him wanting to leave Inter a few weeks ago
I'm in Madrid right this minute reading the sports pages and they are saying he's not a shot stopper, not commanding in the area and lacks any physical presence.
Other than that........
As if you can afford to leave your little hostel.
He is very commanding from what I've seen so not sure what to make of that
