CJGJ Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He's been thought of as the best young goalkeeper in Europe and Manchester United were interested as well City getting started early thinking ahead with Vila's replacement and signing a goalkeeper for the future.

Lucille's Thirsty Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ederson? I've never heard of him these price tags going about by English clubs are ridiculous by par for the course foreign clubs must smell the money when an English club come. Don't care if he's highly rated ?45M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavK1012 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 wasn't buffon around ?35M all those years ago when he moved to juve? Gigi is easily the greatest GK of all time and the 32/33 million Juve paid Parma back in 2001 is one of the best signings any club has made....that was back in the days when Italy paid insane amounts of money for the best players anywhere in the world... This sort of transfer depresses me re the English game and the reason I have lost my interest in it... The money being paid is vile for players in general and the love and connection I have had for their football since I was a wee nipper has been reduced big time... The 'keeper may go on to have a career similar to Gigi you never know and it could be value for money in the long run... But to overly generalise I have never truly been taken with a South American GK as one's that are destined for the top of the club game over many years... For me Pep has panicked realising how poor Bravo is in the British game and like a wee spoilt brat is allowed to throw silly money about in the hope of getting it right...

Dino Zoff for one would be above him for me I am afraid. Lev Yashin another. Guess it depends on our ages as to who we have in our heads when coming to naming "greatest players". Apart from that agree with your points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRWJambo1991 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 30million? I'm assuming that's for the re-generation of Sunderland as a whole, nothing to do with the team? Haha Sunderland could definitely do with some of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 English clubs are basically paying double price for these players now, foreign clubs know they can afford it and will pay it. The whole 'value for money' side of transfers down there has completely gone, there's no point in looking for a bargain when even mid-table teams can spunk ?30million on players. Might as well just pay whatever the club wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yeah totally agree and Bravo was a massive flop. I think harts a good keeper but makes too many mistakes to be up there with the best. Cost a fair amount of points for Torino with his errors. He had a decent season for City in his last but a shockingly bad Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I don't know much about this lad but it's a specialist position and there are only maybe 10 top top quality keepers in the world at the moment and the majority of them are unattainable. Buffon has been worth every penny for Juve, imo the greatest goalkeeper ever. Neuer, Lloris, De Gea, Courtois, ter Stegan, are pretty unattainable. Oblak, Donnarumma, Leno would probably cost more than 45 million. Hard players to find for top clubs and whether or not he's worth 45 million is debatable but that's the market.
