Top clubs barely rotate 2, let alone 3. I don't know how LE's gonna go about it. But one of them is bound to get unhappy by the end of it. I get the feeling Lucho doesn't rate/trust TS. When speaking about keepers in his press conference, TS was more an afterthought for him.

Or know, yet. I guess he has watched more Bravo games than MAtS games, Zubi himself said he didn't know a lot about keepers. MAtS will show his worth in training, and if Lucho doesn't see it, de la Fuente/Unzué will.

Too early to form an opinion on MatS. Lucho will take his time. Even the pre-season didn't start yet.

So was Bravo to be fair. He said that he want to know Ter Stegen and Bravo and only know Masip in person. He said he'll take his time with the pre-season in mind to decide who starts in the first league game.

I think Mats will leave if he is rotated the real way.Not to mention it would be extremely stupid.

MATS should play in Liga and Champion' s League. Bravo should play in Copa del Rey and should be first sub for Ter Stegen if he gets injured/sent off. Masip should play in dead rubber CL group games and in dead rubber La Liga games once the title race is mathematically over.

What might happen:

League + CL = Ter Stegen.

Copa = Bravo

Dead Rubbers in CL(Group Stage) and League Matches against lower tier clubs before an important CL match = Masip

Not really. He spoke about Masip, listed all Bravo's qualities and then mentioned TS' name which came across as a formality more than anything.

I predict the above.

Well Enrique would have received info on Bravo from Unzue and he's worked with Masip before. Ter Stegen, to him, is a complete unknown.

Did he say that in the presser? Watched it but didn't catch that, omly read that quote on twitter.

I doubt he has watched Gladbach of all teams, so he'll know Bravo and Masip better. And opinions can change, as he sais himself there's no hurry.

He said that Bravo is good in the air, with the ball at his feet etc, but also said that he could say the same about Ter Stegen and then that he need to know both of them better before deciding anything since he only knows Masip from before and none of those two.

Im sure he'll go with the feedback he gets from Unzue and De la Fuente so if MAtS impress and works hard then he'll get his chances. He got the #1 shirt so the club obviously see him as the long term starting goalkeeper.

Lucho said he doesn't know Bravo so I doubt it was his transfer...

MAtS hasn't been bought to warm the bench and he'll be the starter if impresses during the preseason.
