I just hope he turns out to be that big personality, dominant keeper that every big club needs.
Far too often in the past the gk position at Barça has been an afterthought. Too much emphasis in being good with the feet or playing out of the back.
A keeper should primarily be a great shot stopper. Look at Courtois in CL.
I'm sure Garcia being signed is Flicks direct recommendation.

According to L'Équipe, and confirmed by SPORT, Chevalier's signing for PSG is well advanced and only the final details are still being finalized . Olivier Létang, president of the "Dogues", is demanding 40 million euros for their star player, and the figure is convincing in Paris, who will make an effort, especially if Gigio's departure is finally confirmed . The final obstacle will be the negotiation of bonuses and variables, but everything is on track.

Thought I would put this here. We didn't get involved in the bidding war for 9s, but we done smart business to sort out our 1 early.

40m for Chevalier
30m for Trafford
25m for Joan

We will see which one ends up the best. Wonder whether we would have paid 25m for Espanyol goalkeeper if his name was Tutuko Manuko from Comoros mind, but that's another story ;)

PSG trying to push Donnarumma to Man Utd btw, before going to free to Madrid in 2026. If that happens, what can I say, he had a great career. Had.

When I first looked at him, I didn't even cared about his "ball playing abilities", and I was onboard.

Having said that, the guy is actually pretty decent with the ball. He will surprise people who expect him to be that old school keeper, he has a decent pass & long ball in him. And his stats will even get better because now he will be shooting towards our players.

Not much defending was needed from him but had a few nice saves, was fast, precise, liked the first impressions of him here.
