They should be balls-deep for De Gea
Surely Courtois is the smart purchase? Only a year left on his deal, knows the league, etc...

Fair enough, stats can only show so much imo. From my watching him week in week out I think the "poor distribution" label is very much a myth and easy stick to beat him with.This is the best I can do, but using this: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/25604/Show/Hugo-Lloris and this: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/121774/Show/Ederson Ederson's pass percentage rate is 10% higher than Lloris'. In the World Cup, his pass completion rate was under 60%.
Happy to accept a difference of opinions but those sort of stats feel similar to what I see when I watch him play.

Agree, but who would we replace him with at this late stage?
IMO I would love to see us sign Oblak.
Fat fingers@ButchCassidy, how can a question be informative?
If it is rhetorical...which makes me wonder if you are really being quite clever here. If not, then you got your answer. If so, then well played.@ButchCassidy, how can a question be informative?
Lloris is good but he's not top 3 imo. Courtois, Oblak, De Gea, Neuer for a start.Sorry but Liverpool paid £67m for a keeper not in the top 3 in world! real want to buy a keeper in the top 3 in the world for £60m.....scratches head
Would you sell for 60 million?Lloris is good but he's not top 3 imo. Courtois, Oblak, De Gea, Neuer for a start.
Neuer is too much of a flake to be up thereLloris is good but he's not top 3 imo. Courtois, Oblak, De Gea, Neuer for a start.
I don't know.Would you sell for 60 million?
I find this really interesting.
I love Hugo. He's an outstanding goalkeeper but I really, really struggle with the idea that he's not somehow upgradeable. We've seen with Ederson what having a goalkeeper with fabulous distribution can add to a side. There were times when Man City were playing with 11 outfield players last season - he was that good. So to look at Hugo, outstanding shot-stopper but a guy whose kicking is really not very good, and say you wouldn't swap him for anyone is very curious to me.
