Ter Stegen is ?non-transferable?, the coaches consider him the best GK in the world & is already a candidate to be the captain of FC Barcelona, once Piqu? retires next season.

:lol:

Rather jump off the bridge than watch this guy be the captain

On the other hand, if we survived Alba..

Sell Mats for peanuts and Depay who will leave for free if he doesn't end up staying? Sounds like a plan.

What? He has a contract until 2023, if he doesn't stay, we're selling him this summer, for minimum 20-25M. And 40M for Ter Stegen isn't peanuts. And yes, he is worth at least that, GK best years still ahead of him.

So you are telling me Pique is retiring next year? :rockon:

PS: if MATS is sold it won't be on coaches request.
It will mean a club is crazy enough to pay us a good money for him (20M+) and the board not passing a chance to cash on him while he still has some value

Who should we bring as gk?

Forgot about depay, would not be bad to sell him if we are bringing lewa.

But I must admit, Depay is good player, one of few who played good season.

I am pretty sure I saw reports about him being able to leave for free in the summer because of his situation. Anyway, nobody is paying 25m for a year of Depay. Mats would fetch 20 at best.

I don't think ter Stegen's best years are ahead of him. He's more likely to fall off a cliff like Casillas than be able to play longer like van der Sar, Neuer and Buffon did.

If he's had issues with his knee for the last few years it won't get better the older he gets. He looks less explosive off the line due to that now, and from what I have noticed taller GKs seemingly have a better chance of playing till their mid to late 30s than shorter ones like Marc.

True and it seems like in football goalkeepers are bigger and bigger.

After Pique, Busi, Alba, Roberto we get ter Stegen next in line :worthy:

Our captains sum up the shambolic state if the team very well.

No club will want him. Maybe midtable german team, but not what he would want.

Well, all the big clubs have good GKs and probably wouldn't want to invest if there isn't a stringent need to do that.

Teams like Napoli, Dortmund, Marseille are getting CL football but are not interested in paying that much(salary wise) for a GK.

Stegen is not high on the liability chart. Solid top 10-25 goalkeeper. Top 10 when on form.

But yes, we need to look at a market opportunity (Cech @ Rennes, Courtois @ Genk) where you watched them or their highlights and knew they had world class potential.
