The agent of Ter Stegen met with Juventus to talk about the possibility of leaving Barça. The goalkeeper considers that there is little commitment of some heavy weights in the dressing room and that the team is not united enough. [@sinconcesiones]

You're welcome
Still sounds like bull. These messages always seem to hit all the right points trying to match the perception of fans to make it seem credible.
Sounds like he wants a raise, typical agent player tactics

But as the matter of fact its true that there is little commitment.... Only a blind man cant see what is going on and that Barca play like a shit.
I mean... He makes mistakes but if you look closely on the whole team, if he leaves... Barca is doomed...

We had a cheap Bravo before him who had exactly the same percentage of saves and brought exactly the same results.
I am not saying that I want him to leave, but it is not as if there aren't lots of other options.
Not to mention that he barely made any saves in crucial CL matches since 2015, like Psg 4:0, Juve 3:0, Roma 3:0, Liverpool 4:0.
In those matches, almost any shot ended as a goal.
I know, the whole team played bad, but there are some question marks regarding his mental strength in the biggest matches.
Often when he played for Germany, it seems as if a pressure is killing him and quite often he conceded goals for fun for Germany.
A very good GK, but a world won't stop if he leaves.

There are alot of good keepers around. Neto isn't too bad either.

He still has 2,5 years left on a contract, a lot can change until then. If Amigos really don't support him then they can all f*** off before MATS. I still think it's probably a BS rumour and he'll renew his contract before the end of this (calendar) year.
Yeah, it wouldn't be the end of the world if he'll decide to leave but we have a lot of needs in other positions we need to address so it would be good not to have another pretty big hole in the roster we'll need to fill.

I wouldn't be too upset if he left, sure. But having a good GK can make a massive difference like Allison at Liverpool. But Ter Stegen is not as good as him

Yep, he's not as good, he's better. After Messi, he will be the leader.

He's not better than Allison FFS
MAtS has been our goalkeeper for 5 years now. 5 years. And he's never been the world's best goalkeeper during those 5 years.
While he's a MILLION miles away from being the biggest problem at this club, I still don't see the legendary goalkeeper or leader that Barca fans hype him up to be.

the MAtS vs Alisson comparison is ridiculous. Alisson had a clean sheet at the painful Anfield debacle while MAtS conceded at least 2 unnecessary goals. Alisson then continued to have clean sheets against Tottenham in the CL final and in the Copa America final with Brazil. He has further been a big factor in the Liverpool unbeaten Premier League streak. Ask Messi what he thinks about Alisson (starting with Barça's loss against Roma where Alisson had a big part as well)

Alisson has let in some silly goals too, and let in 7 goals vs. Liverpool over two legs in 2018.
I don't see anyone else here pointing that out.
As always with Barcaforum the grass is greener on the other side. MAtS is at worst a top 5 GK in the World, I would argue he's a top 3.
Alisson, ter Stegen and Oblak.
Right now I would put Alisson and Oblak above, but he's not far behind at all.
People act like finding a replacement is so easy when you have Juventus playing Szczesny and PSG going for a 33 year old Keylor Navas.
You think Alisson or Oblak would look just as good behind this defensive line?

Problem is he's top 3 across all matches, but when it comes to crucial away games, I'm left unimpressed by the amount of goals he conceded relative to the shot attempts made. In the Liverpool game for example, we faced like 5-6 shots on target, and 4 were goals. He simply has to do better in those scenarios. Not to the mention the fuck up that was the corner taken early by Pool.
