longdon Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) It’ll soon be winter transfer window of the 2021/22 season, and I need a back up goalkeeper for David De Gea and Dean Henderson. Any ideas? Edited May 16, 2021 by longdon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Tom Heaton, Ben Foster or Sam Johnstone who would also be classed as Home Grown as well. Aren't Joel Perriera or Sivar not good enough to be 3rd choice ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Heaton retired not long after I signed him, so I'm on the lookout for a new third-choice goalkeeper. I searched for Tim Ronning's name and nothing came up!? Also, just before the transfer window shut, I was all set to buy Sam Johnstone from WBA for £10m and he was delighted to be my emergency back-up, but the deal went through as WBA couldn't find a replacement. Now they want £40m for him!? Jokers. Edited May 20, 2021 by longdon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dothestrand Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Given my third keeper in any save barely ever makes an appearance, I wouldn't spend any serious money. There may not be many half decent out of contract players available mid season but I'd just find an ageing keeper happy to be an emergency backup for a couple of seasons who wouldn't cost much. Someone like Hart or Ben Foster? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Hart or Ben Foster? In the end I bought Sergio Asenjo from Villarreal for around £10m. A bit steep for a third-choice goalkeeper but he's a decent goalkeeper and is happy being an emergency back-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
