Umtiti not on Barca, he had injuries before and rejected our advices.
But this year, MATS, Fati & Coutinho all going under the knife for 2nd time, all had 1st surgery with Cougat, all has 2nd surgery with different surgeon
Something not right tbh

So not only do we have a GK who has been declining, but we also have a declining GK with a bad knee.

There has to be some serious thinking and planning for future goalkeeping needs this summer, especially in light of the potential implications of Ter Stegen's injury.

Starting scouting, at the very least.

I do see this a lot. Our scouts work all the time as they do in every other club and sport really. Often on the road, constantly on the job, working a lot of hours.

At the end of the day our scouts can vouch for anyone they want, deliver as many reports as they want, it's the sporting director/president/board who decides who to sign and not.

I'm pretty sure we have reports about almost any young GK you can find in Europe and South America, but they're not the ones who pull the trigger.

I hope you are right and we already have profiles and reports for potential goalkeeper signings available. I was thinking the GK position was probably one position that they didn't bother too much on, thinking we were set for years.

What's more important I guess, is the club realizes the need for potentially a new keeper if both Inaki Pena and Arnau Tenas won't cut it. Can't go down the road of not even considering another option and just hoping Ter Stegen will work out and improve.

Who is doing all the SD work right now, since we don't have one? Planes?

Yup, Planes.

I brought up Onana as a possible inexpensive option if his doping ban appeal is successful this summer.
