Apparently will be out for 3-4 months if he goes through with the surgery. Will meet with a couple of specialists and decide soon.

Maybe the club knew his back was messed up, based on what their Drs told them, and that why they moved so quickly for Garcia?

Or maybe I'm just connecting unconnected lines

Probably a combination of different things.

Joan Garcia being a market opportunity. ter Stegen's declining performances and his injury issues.

If anything it makes it even funnier if it's true that ter Stegen feels disrespected that they signed him.

As will anyone but malvolio.
I'm devastated serghei, feel better now? :mou:

Tbf I always thought a transition year in which Ter Stegen rotates with the guy that eventually replaces him would be the best bet. Maybe there's more to it with rumors of Ter Stegen fucking up his back?
Garcia is just a market opportunity. No way in hell we scouted him for years and decided to pull the trigger. Just like no way biggest clubs wouldn't have pulled the trigger at 25M if the guy was a goalkeeping wonderkid. I don't expect much of him, but I'm not the kind of guy that thinks the GK is essential, just like Barca has won everything before with some mediocre GKs in goal.

Can't even blame him for doing this. They renewed him until 2028 afterall lol.

He was finished after Ainfield and anyone who still was delusional enough to believe he was still good should have seen the light after the Bayern hammering.

Should have gotten rid of this guy 5 years ago.
