    Think if a keeper is decent regardless who’s in front of them they will be busy and still look good if they are good.

    His decision making has been honking and he’s now been replaced.

    He's won a golden glove, 2 championships, and been in the team of the year while also having smaller accolades like young player of the year.

    It's not as if he's done * all.

    Joe Hart had a similar stinking run. People really can't tell confidence from ability.

    GK who's form has dropped through the floor and who's been making mistakes as if he was paid to do so? Yes please! Good to see the recruitment team is still firing on all cylinders.

    Where did I say he done * all?

    Joe Hart was * off cause the manager didn’t like him at City. Plus Joe Hart has had more achievements as well.

    We have a very good keeper waiting in the wings already here.

    Why would we want someone whose development has fallen off a cliff and is on a high wage?

    Hart went on loan to Torino and West Ham while at City, then went to Burnley and Spurs after that. He failed at virtually all of them. Like I said, confidence issues.

    So had a wobble in two loan spells in Italy and West Ham but apart from that the other guy couldn’t lace his boots.

    Aye ok then.

    really * example again with Hart.

    We have a really good young keeper ready to step up already at the club why would we take someone else who has massively dropped.

    Totally agree. I have seen him play plenty of times for Leeds over the last few years and would without a doubt take Sinisalo over him, its not even close. I have often wondered watching him how on earth did he manage to stay in the Leeds team as their number 1 for so long until this season.

    Would much rather give games to Sinisalo then bring in Meslier. Was once crowed about as the next big thing but has done nothing to improve since then and gone backwards every season from what I've read.
