I hope he joins, Nyland's in good form until the end of the season and Reina goes back without ever playing for us.

Quite.

I looking forward to people acknowledging Reina ability and how he kept villa in premier league.
The lack of respect to such a great keeper seemingly based on Reina age and nyland doing ,finally ,some decent goal keeping,  is staggering.

Think Friedel for Reina
David James for Nyland

Now which keeper is more secure?!

It's naive to base how good a player is now on what he could do a few years ago. None of us really know how good he is now, we all hope he's great but we've seen how hit and miss it can be signing a player at the tail end of their career can be, especially when they haven't been playing much.

Footy, didn't you promise that you wouldn't be back until we signed a striker?

Have I missed something?

Oh, and Reina is past it and shit. I'm looking forward to gorging myself on humble pie.

I would've been more than happy to go into the season with Steer but we bought Heaton. I would've been more than happy to continue this season with Nyland but now this.
It's clear in both cases that experience is as important as goalkeeping ability to the management but it was harsh on Steer and might well be for the current custodian.

Why is everyone automatically jumping to the conclusion that he’s being bought to replace Nyland? In my view he’s been bought as an experienced back up to Nyland and Steer and nothing more. People really are adding 2 and 2 together and getting 5.

You could apply the same logic about Heaton's arrival: why did he come in as No.1 when he couldn't get near to the Burnley team in the previous season, and when Steer had proved himself to be competent?

At least Reina will be well rested having only played 3 games in the last 12 months and getting a red card in one of them. Welcome indeed.

Heaton was their number one keeper. Pretty sure he played nearly every game for Burnley from January onwards (he was injured before wasn’t he?) - a period that coincided with a big upturn in their form.

 saw him play in 2017 when I went to the Napoli  V Cagliari.  He did nothing for 90 minutes.  Primarily on account of Cagliari being awful.

This isn't really something to get worked up about is it? The main crux of this window is the forward line. Get it wrong and it's likely we go down.
