Tom is good. Emi is great. Good luck though Tom. Quality keeper.

He won't get a look in as first choice. He's not better than Henderson or De Gea but will be good to have in the dressing room and a pretty good standard to have as a back up too. I'd have liked for him to stick around but so be it.

If FFP's still a thing, must be on good money for a #2 keeper so easy kill off the wage bill.

He's a decent keeper but like Mings always  has a mistake in him - Not sure why he has gone to Manure - surely a move to the likes of West Ham /Leeds where they have dodgy keepers would have been a better career move.

Didn’t he start his career there? Maybe he wants to try and play a few games for them at the end his career.

Let’s be honest he’s got a better chance of forcing his way into the team there than with us.

Sounds like he has given up playing regularly tbh. He won’t play v often and just warm the bench on big money. Tops up his pension pot so you can’t blame him for that. Good luck to him

Good luck Tom, unlucky with injury and Emi arriving, never did anything wrong in my book.
