But why does he want 3 senior goalies? I know the in vogue thing around is just take whatever the manager says as gospel but how does it make any sense to commit limited funds to three senior goalkeepers when only one can play at any one time and usually one goalkeeper plays 80% to 90% of the matches?
It’s no different than it’s ever been. That 3rd goalie spot is either a veteran who knows he won’t play (Heaton) or a youngster playing U21 games.
Man City had Richard Wright on the books for 4 years and he didn’t play a game. They now have Scott Carson playing that role.
Arsenal have Raya and Ramsdale.
City have Ederson, Steffen and Carson.
Liverpool have Alisson, Kelleher and Adrian.
Chelsea are adding Petkovic to Sanchez and Bettinelli.
