Part of me want this as well but i think it's a bad idea really. He a kid and was out all year, he just need to settle down, work hard and play which he won't do in the first team.Rather promote Okonkwo.

Macey is ****. He's awful. Not even the lower clubs want him.Didn't Matt Macey recently come out saying he wanted to leave for playing time? Could be his replacement more so than Martinez replacement with the possibility of being no.2 if Raya proves to be too expensive.
He'll be third choice soon enough.Part of me want this as well but i think it's a bad idea really. He a kid and was out all year, he just need to settle down, work hard and play which he won't do in the first team.
Bernd Leno conceded 8 more goals than expected in the 2017/18 season by the way.
This season he conceded 7 fewer than the expected.

So to twist this into a positive: he has room for improvement.Ligue 1 has statsbomb xG coverage available for all Ligue 1 keepers so we can see how he fares out as a shot stopper.
Post shot xG are expected goals based on how likely the keeper is to save them. The goals conceded are then taken away from this stat.
A positive number indicates a keeper who is a far above average at stopping shots while a negative number indicates the inverse.
As a shot stopping metric it’s hard to find fault with. The statsbomb method of determining xG is very thorough and this takes that into account.
We can see Chelsea’s new keeper Mendy seems ok at stopping shots without really excelling and that it also bares out the conventional knowledge that Keylor Navas had a down year.
Runarsson only played 10 games last year so if we look at the per 90 stats we can see he’s a bit below average and it’s not really his main attribute.
He seems a middle of the pack stopper in terms of the league. Martinez and Leno had numbers better than anyone in Ligue 1 incidentally.
We apparently haven't made a bit for him and I think the Neil Lennon has said the same. Although, NL was saying similar when we were in advanced negotiations for Tierney.He also broke the Edoaurd news, could be true..
So to twist this into a positive: he has room for improvement.
If Leno got injured for any serious period of time, this guy would cost us points.
