Confirmed Signing Joao Virginia

[bigstickytoffee]

I only saw the first hour and thought he looked very good tonight.....

 

[john jako]

He’s way to dangerous to be a goalie in the premier league. Adds abit of excitement I guess

 

[Toffeepot]

Fair bit of unwarranted criticism for the lad in here tonight
He made some good saves, that's the most important part of his job isn't it!?

 

[Axlswhk]

Thought he did well.

His distribution needs work, but I always think we've been absolutely spoiled with Pickford who is comfortably top 5% for distribution.

Virginia made some decent stops and looked sharp. More than happy with him as back-up. Will need experience though.

If he stays as no2, training with Pickford will surely help his distribution too
Play him both cups, not as good as a loan but still experience

…I don’t trust him & was very surprised he got a new deal but he’s been ok on his return.

We've got two good goalkeepers.

 

[Furey1878]

He'll do, honestly a second keeper who is actually decent is rare for most teams. I'd much rather focus on getting a striker who isn't made of toast.

I think he is decent and a more than capable back up for Pickford.
Of all the positions we need to strengthen goalkeeper doesn't come in the top ten.

 

[MACCA75]

Not sure I’m on board here. This guy worries me as a number 2. Betting the house on Pickford staying fit.

Don’t think I have ever watched a goalkeeper kick the ball out of play more than Pickford. When he gets it right he’s great but he gets it wrong a lot.

 

[Nymzee]

Perfectly fine backup keeper for that 1 game of the season we’ll need him.

Our goal against Wigan came from a Pickford long ball to Young.

What's peoples thoughts on this lad? I'm a bit surprised that they seem to be going with him as second choice myself it seems like a big gamble to me just hoping we never have to use him. I like having an experienced second goalie who you know can come in if you need them to it seems like a big step down from people like Olsen and Begovic based on what I know of him.
