Is it time to look for a Fabianski replacement?

Post by jhammers »

Don't get me wrong he has been brialliant for us, especially last season, but ever since his latest injury he has looked proper shaky.
No idea what he was doing for the goal yesterday, it went in the middle of the goal!
His kicking has also been really poor.

He's 36 years old now. Do we look for a new keeper this transfer window?

His distribution has always been poor but his overall performances have allowed us to overlook that part of his game. A few people have made comments about him on other threads so I don't think you're alone in your thinking.

Not our top priority imo but as we all know a decent keeper is key and his recent form is cause for concern.

Yes, but not the priority.

Rb & Lb, I watched the Brentford v Swansea game yesterday and forget benrahma we should try and buy their lb Nico Henry pace to burn and strong in the tackle.

This is what has made the re-signing of Randolph appear to be a pointless exercise.

Ok it was desperation time during the Roberto debacle but last summer should have been the time to invest in a younger up & coming keeper with a view to taking over from Fabianski when the time comes.

We’ll probably get another season out of Fabianski but he IS on the decline , he’s 35 so he HAS to be.

Not that I’ve seen anything of him since his Anfield disasters.

Trott should be in the frame now , only lost his place at Wimbledon due to internal politics and (from 3 keepers used) won their save of the season . https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/202 ... -one-vote/

Before we start looking to spend money wasn't Nathan Trott rated as the best keeper in League One by Skysports before Covid hit?

I just saw the Villa goal and I take back what I said about Fabianski having a Roberto moment.



Roberto would have saved it.

Definitely he is now living up to his nickname.

Can’t think of a decent replacement but must be plenty about.

I watch the Spanish football round up programmes and I have been gobsmacked to see a couple of Roberto's performances for Alaves. Don't get me wrong no way would I want him back but in a couple of games he was outstanding.
