Reina played a big part in keeping us up, IMO. Even if the reflexes were clearly on the wane. The Norwegian lad instead of Reina in those last few games and we'd have probably been down even before Watford went mad and potted Nigel Pearson.
Quote from: KevinGage on January 26, 2021, 08:26:16 AMWould still like to see another forward come in. But in the current climate, that's prob expecting a lot. With the Sanson deal alone we'll have done more business than most other PL clubs. John Terry mentioned when we signed Traore that he can play wide and through the centre, so that's prob our contingency if anything happens to Ollie. It's not ideal, but since Jan 2019, these owners have got the bulk of our transfer business right. The very much didn't last January!

Seeing as Barca are going bust, should we put a Bid in for Messi?
Like many of our players, Reina was terrible before lockdown but an important player after lockdown.
