Makes sense. No point having a foreign player as your back up goalie
Makes sense to have the best possible back up keeper regardless of nationality.

I thought the club's had all released a list of players they were letting go in the Summer and we weren't letting anyone go through contract expiry. I could be wrong but sure I saw that.

Calm down Tommy Robinson... Makes sense to have the best possible back up keeper regardless of nationality.

No need to insult me is there just because you disagree. It’s been discussed on here numerous times why it’s a good idea to have a home grown player as the back up goalie. If you can’t see why then I give up.

Wow comparing someone to a far-right **** because he sees the value in freeing up another non-homegrown spot in the squad is fucking outrageous.

My point is why is it different to any where else in the squad. Why is it better to have a number 2 keeper being English to a back up striker or midfielder? It makes no sense.

It's not even that - I assume some would be happy to promote Gazzaniga to number 2, and have an Academy youngster as number 3, thus freeing up a homegrown spot with little consequence.

I'm sure you could have made your point without resorting to the insult, although TBF you seem to have removed it now.

Well that is different to having your full time number 2 selected because he is English. Gazzaniga had a fantastic debut and looked great, if the club go that route you would be confident in what he has produced in training. We have generally had someone around the academy that has been capable of filling the 3rd choice keeper slot. It's only been over the last 5 or 10 years we haven't been doing that.

First choice for me would be to do everything to keep Vorm attached.

I changed it as soon as I realised it hadn't been read tongue in cheek as intended. I also messaged privately and apologised for the same.

Because it's extremely rare you use your backup goalkeeper compared to outfield rotations, so you can risk quality for the sake of homegrown status especially for 3rd choice goalie. Man city had richard wright ffs
