    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    I've just had a look back a few times, and that's far from conclusive. Have you got concrete evidence of this? What's also inconclusive is whether he's actually in the penalty area or not (looks like he's on the line which, I think, counts as in the area). If he wasn't in the area, and saved the...

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    I wouldn't. Over the season, he'll be far better served going out on loan, and settling in to his new club prior to the start of the season. If that club are happy to delay his start, then fair enough but I doubt that they will. We've got Bart and Steele. Bart is clearly number one, but Jason is...

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    Agree completely (and I'm aware that you understand goalkeeping better than I). There's a narrative that's developed that Sanchez made a number of howlers. There was one, it was a massive one. If Sanchez was still first choice, we'd be claiming he's worth 40m+. Yet he's no longer first choice...

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    Exactly, and that points to (potentially, at least) two GKs playing a fair number of games. The initial plan might be GK A plays PL (and maybe one other cup) and GK B plays the cups and EL. GK A will be considered first choice, but that status could shift as the season develops, entirely...
