David de Gea on £350k per week has to be one of the worst contracts of all time? Absolutely ruined your wage structure for a keeper. And he’s turned out shite. Be great if they extend it. Great shot stopper. Never been good at organising a defence. Can't pass it. Always prone to being caught out in the air. Another stunning bit of business.by the club that are definitely hashtag back.

in fairness to De Gea there was a 1/2 year period when he was up there with the likes of Cech and Allison as the best in Prem history. Ever since the World cup in Russia he's been rubbish though.

Wouldn’t even call him a great shot stopper anymore either like he’s just never been good at the other stuff. He was very good like lgig pre-Russia but the amount of tame efforts that squirm underneath him is a joke for a supposedly top keeper

Tbf although I agree with the basis of this, I actually think the best keepers are still very undervalued. It's a cliche but that 'worth 10 points a season' thing is the second most valuable thing for a team after a goalscorer imo. When you look at the most expensive goalkeepers of all time it's quite striking just how many of them have been insanely good value for money. No coincidence that Man City and Liverpool both went into god mode after getting Ederson and Alisson.

I don't disagree, there is great value to be had out of top goalkeepers and Liverpool and Man City are getting it.
I know this won't be totally accurate, because for some reason football's finance is still allowed to operate undercover, but after a quick search, it looks like Alisson might be on c.£150k per week and Ederson a little less.
£350k for de Gea is terrible value though, has always been terrible value and is only looking worse as time goes by. I think he's their top earner? It just sets the bar for everyone else. Rashford's new deal? Starting point should be £350k and they go up from there. Any new signing? £350k please. They've killed themselves, and it would be a huge mistake to renew on similar terms.

Which is also what a lot of us were saying at the time too.

Madrid got so lucky that they didn't get him. Courtois is better at literally every aspect of goalkeeping.

Paqueta is absolute quality. He's so limited to one role, that of a roaming 8, and he's definitely not a 10, but he's so good in that role. Would fit in perfectly at Liverpool.

How funny is it that we’ve spent the season tearing English refs apart and then they get given the Europa League final
Two things I can’t understand is 1) why is Taylor considered the best English ref ahead of Oliver and 2) what is Atwell doing within a mile of a VAR room for a major European final

The worst person to use the phrase ‘court of public opinion’ given his brother’s a murderer and he’s been done for violent crimes several times
