Bravo was also an insane keeper for us. It's forgotten because of "MSN" and because we had to sacrifice him after 2 seasons for "the future" ter Stegen but look at his saves here.

@ 17:20
@ 20:10 (most insane one)
It's hindsight now of course but I would have rather had Bravo for 5 seasons than Stegen for 10.

Bravo was washed af the moment he left Barca and had the same problems fundamentally as ter Stegen due to being a short (and aging) goalkeeper. Bravo had a very good two years here but nothing extraordinary, not an "insane" keeper.

"Nothing extraordinary"? He still holds the record of 754 minutes without conceding and 23 clean sheets in a season. I doubt he would have been washed if he continued for us. At 33 he couldn't adapt to the Premier League and that's a different story. His heart was at Barca. Sometimes employees who get a chance at their dream job later in life thrive from mentality alone. A Chilean in fucking Manchester was never gonna work.
Of course it was the right decision at the time. You have a 33 year old GK who everyone thought was a backup (until Lucho saw in training who the superior GK was, irrespective of age) and then you had the 23 year old German talent piggybacking off of Neuer's reputation.

Valdes to me was the weak link of Prime Barca.
Ole Ter Stegen was fine I've just come to despise his play over the years.

Bravo had prime Alba, Pique, Masche, Busi and Alves in front of him.

The 27m for Garcia, Roony and Rashford, is, pound for pound, one of the greatest transfer windows of all time.

I understand the loyalty LDF has to his estabilished players. But not starting Garcia in WC will be just self sabotage nothing else
Clearly best Spanish keeper around. Of course like LDF says we should wait until end of the season to see if his form declines or something else happens
But if not... come on. Why lower your chances for WC because of some dumb sentimentality?

Robert Sanchez doesn't fit what Spain needs out of a goalkeeper.
He's like a poor man's David De Gea, who was a WC shot stopper but was poor playing out the back and was glued to his line. Leo Roman? other than the Heroics against us last year hasn't played much first division football in the grand scheme of things, and he's like a year older than Joan is.
David Raya is solid, don't really care about Remiro as for Unai Simon?
He's either great or he's a complete fucking bozo of a Goal-Keeper, and he has not exactly been great this season either, and had some clangers for Spain.
I get it, we got to see more of Joan, but I do thing especially with his Espanyol heroics he belongs in the conversation of being one of the three that should be called up.
