Heaton is 31 and is more solid than brilliant, Forster has had an awful season and Butland is just coming back from injury.

If we watched every other keeper in the league as often as we watched Robles we would probably see the same amount of mistakes from them.

Why do you think Forster has had an awful season? I don't think he has
 
One must make responsible decisions when old ages and that is to reject all these chemicals of the night. I once double dropped garys after a night out with Fox and woke up dancing in me mar's shed at 5am with Bluetooth headphones in. I checked my posting history on here for those lost hours and it was grim. I made a responsible decision right there and then dear COYBtwoFIVE.
That was fun. Don't deny who or what you are. Embrace your inner nuckfugget
 
We should replace Rom and Barclay with Mbappe and James Rodriguez.

Veratti in midfield
VVD or Laporte in defence and Donnarumma in goals.

First though, I'd get Luis Enrique to replace Koeman.

I don't think so, the penalty was a real show of his level. He has been poor in three of his last four matches now. All from poor decisions and positioning. Yes when a keeper makes a mistake it always shows, but I am sure he is just not good enough for a team with our ambitions. I'm not sure he is even the best keeper we have?

You are right that Heaton isn't brilliant, but solid. I think all the keepers I have mentioned are that way. The brilliant keepers are already taken by top clubs.
 
Forster for me, i might get slated for this but i don't really rate Pickford.

..I have to say that none of the domestic keepers we've been linked with appear much of an improvement on Robles (Pickford, Heston, Schmeichal, Hart, Forster, Marshall etc). Hoping there's somebody on the continent that we've identified, otherwise I'd be sticking with what we have.

I'm not goalie expert but the likes of Heaton and Pickford look shotstoppers to, playing for teams often under the cosh and flattered by being busy. They lack the size and bulk to command their areas, especially aerial attack. I see the need for a replacement but I wouldn't swap Robles for either of them. Butland is one that I haven't seen enough of to form an opinion.

Foster would be the one for me.

He's that ugly, he scares the opposition half to death
 
Out of those, I'd go for Pickford.

Hart has had his day; Butland is injured more than he is fit.

Pickford has a lot of experience now and a lot of potential to grow into...

Forster for me, i might get slated for this but i don't really rate Pickford.
I don't watch other teams enough to make too much comment but seeing Match of the Day and the goal WHU scored from the corner, Pickford wasn't imposing at all. A big brute keeper would've beasted the forward in front of him out the way as they won the ball.

I agree with most of that but i wouldn't want to stick with Robles, i was impressed with how Burnley keeper commanded his back 4. Always telling them to push out and to stick on players etc something i don't see Robles doing
