Juventus maybe? Although Szczesny seem to be doing a decent job and Juventus would probably try to swap him with some shit player they cannot get rid of.

Been some talk about our interest in Vandevoordt who plays for Genk and is 20 year old. Might be another ter Stegen - Bravo situation if he's signed and MATS sticks around. Don't know how good he is though.

He was Best GK in the world, with quite some distance from the 2nd until the end of 17/18 season.
His decline started after that, and was not as steep as people make it out to be.
Only this one and last season have been pretty bad for him.

IMO his World Class season was 17/18. Very good in 2018/19.

Rest of his seasons have been average, mediocre or not enough sample size to judge. He wasn't particularly great in our CL run either, but had his moments of brilliance like that save vs. Lewandowski.

Disagree.
He was unstable only at the beginning, season 14/15
From when he started playing week in week out, he was top

He was nowhere close to being the best GK in the World. Only season he has an argument is 17/18.

Rest of his seasons there's been a GK or two that were comfortably better than him. Oblak and ter Stegen arrived at the same time and Oblak has been a superior GK to ter Stegen most seasons apart from this one where he's also fallen off a cliff and somehow managed to become worse.

Disagree again.

Oblak is hyped IMO.
He took credit in the past that he wasn't due. Atlet's defense had been stellar, especially inside the box (when Godin was still around) and he was benefitting from it.
Last 2 or 3 season, Atleti's defense has been gradually turned into trash, and he is getting exposed more to good chances, which show that he is not as good as people thought

Oblak gave masterclass of a season last year and defense was already going bad.
