I’m sure there probably has been, but I can’t think of one off the top of my head. Suppose Grobbelaar was Zimbabwean wasn’t he? Long time ago though.

The College Dropout Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) 42 minutes ago, jonny1403 said: Yeah, that 24 y/o CM from a midtable Ligue 1 team we signed a few years ago was a disaster. As was the 23 y/o CB we signed six months later Goalkeeper specifically. As I mentioned elsewhere - there are exceptions but most GKs hit their peak later in their careers. I look at the business other clubs have done: Vicario Sanchez Martinez Ramsdale Kepa Pope The best business was the older GKs. I like Vicario mind but a GK that needs to learn on the job will cost us points. Edited May 14 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him wear the armband. People are being pedantic. It's not about the French league, it's about inexperience at a high-level. Being a goalkeeper isn't like being a central midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, the 70 million deal fell through and Victor Boniface (23) had to stay in Leverkusen. It's no longer a secret that Leverkusen won't be entering the new season with both of its top attackers. Nor is it a secret that Boniface is the more likely candidate for sale. The portal "Africafoot.com" reported on Saturday that the German international could be leaving the Bundesliga. Newcastle are said to be in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen regarding Boniface, with a transfer fee of €50 million imminent. According to BILD, no negotiations have yet taken place between the two clubs, who could face each other in the Champions League next season. However, Leverkusen is definitely aware of the Englishman's strong interest in Boniface. The transfer fee mentioned could be in line with the club's expectations.

macphisto Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Would people be happy with the same transfer window as 23/24, 2 first team players in Tonali and Barnes, 2 top youngsters in Hall and Livramento (I know Hall was a loan)? Looking back on that window, I'd be delighted with the same again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t think he’s made for top tier football (body) To be honest, if Leverkusen are looking to get rid of him there must a problem. They're already seemingly losing Alonso, Wirtz & Frimpong. I think I've seen that Schick is looking for a move too. The team seems to be getting gutted this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think he was always in the ‘got a mistake in him’ category, but Man Utd have turned that into ‘got a mistake in him every 2/3 games’.
