25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

[DonAK]

Polish reports saying he has accepted our renewal offer and knows he will be the backup next season.

 

[mc_lovin]

Yay, that's the new GK dream dead for sure.

 

[Barcaman]

Polish reports saying he has accepted our renewal offer and knows he will be the backup next season.

Yeah, so that's that. No new GK.
It's gonna get ugly next season.

 

[MonteCuler]

Well maybe they decide to ship Ter Saddam, that's what we can hope for

 

[Andresito]

Good and bad news. Don't mind having him as backup, but not to ter Stegen.

In that case Mats should be backup to Tek if he isn't shipped.

Need a new GK

 

[KingLeo10]

Still think we’ll end up with 3 GKs next season.

A new starter, Tek backup, and Saddam benched.

 

[Givenchy]

Flick isn't stupid and the German factor won't count for shit. The first big mistake MaTS makes next season he'll be hounded out by the fans and perma benched.

 

[MonteCuler]

If anything it's good he has competition

I stand by my belief that Tek is a vastly superior goalkeeper. Neither are the thing we need, but Tek is simply better

So when Ter Stegen starts clowning himself at least we will have someone to replace him with this time

That doesn’t change much, the terrorist would never agree to be a backup anyway.
It’s good to have someone experienced and reliable like Tek on the bench, though.
The real issue remains: the German fraud needs to go. We need a new first-choice keeper.

 

[Joan]

A better keeper as the terrorist’s backup.

I’ll never understand what Mats holds over the club.

Well, after the Bart rumours, I am glad to read this

I’ll never understand what Mats holds over the club.

Or the club analyses differently with way more knowledge and tools than the common fan. Barca's GK needs to have unique abilities, the same as our defensive line, as we're playing differently from 99% of other teams. What works for others doesn't work for us in may cases with many examples.
I'm confident Courtois wouldn't be half as good in Barca as he is in Madrid.

Club is biased towards our players as proven over and over again by keeping way too many washed up players for too long.
Solution is easy. I find it interesting to hear from opposition managers, former players or analysts on what they see as our weak spots.
It's same in everything else, sometimes you need neutral eyes to open new perspective.

Everyone outside Barca fandom sees GK is our weakest spot and everyone thinks we leaked too many goals. Take it from there.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Stegen is worse.

ter Stegen certainly has a very unique ability.

One of not saving shots.
