Seems like the right kind of signing. A bit pricey for a relegated keeper but hopefully that is a measure of his quality. Anyone seen him play in Serie A last season?

Cmon, you'd better get used to it.  All together now

"Gollini, oh oh oh oh, Gollini, oh oh oh oh,
he came from Italy
to be our new goalie,
Gollini etc etc etc

I'm fed up with it already.

Good stuff, well I say that in spite of having no clue about him, but given how poor we were in goal last year he must be an improvement.
Only worry being he played in goal for a relegated team.

Unless he was a fucking clown like Guzan and contributed fully to his teams demise then I don't see why we should be worried.

You could lay my miniscule todger across the goal line as a makeshift draft excluder and it would be a better bet to keep the ball out than Guzan.

Post of the day, thanks for the chuckle.

Look like a goalkeeper in Bosnich/Southall/Rimmer/Given mould. Look good but I don't know how good is he at crosses or challenging for the ball in the air. We don't do well with giant goalkeepers.

Who wouldn't be described as a giant, either.
