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.

Just like Raya, I worry about this size in the EPL. Seems to be quick enough though and pretty decent on the ball. Not afraid to go up and catch a ball under pressure either.

Macey is ****. He's awful. Not even the lower clubs want him.

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.
He'll be third choice soon enough.

This season he conceded 7 fewer than the expected.

Yes, the point is that you can't properly draw conclusions from past seasons in a different league, under a different coach, etc.

When Leno was signed, people who didn't rate him (and there were quite a lot) referenced his below-average shot-stopping numbers in the Bundesliga.

Hell no. We would promote a youth keeper for that.

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.

So to twist this into a positive: he has room for improvement.

As long as he's a half decent keeper I couldn't care less.

Unless there's a real unlikely scenario where Leno gets injured again, which is highly unlikely then it doesnt matter.

Gunarsson for a few of the cup games is fine.

He’s not terrible but doesn’t seem particularly great.

However he’s likely to cost very little and at least you can track how he’s done. Relatively happy with this if we’re talking under 5M.

Yes no way he'll cost more 5m euros it could be even less. Ospina who was very settled gk in France cost us 5m lol

He's only 6'1 which isn't great for the EPL. He isn't a standout keeper in Ligue 1, but like Raya he's good with his feet. Pretty much his only standout feature..

Rather this guy than Raya solely because of the price, but I'd rather get someone cheap from the Championship with a similiar profile and with HG status..

Wouldn't even want this guy starting in the Europa League / League Cup.

If Leno got injured for any serious period of time, this guy would cost us points.

Would prefer to spend £5-7m on a reliable back up you can actually have some faith in than penny pinch this guy for £1-2m, just because people think we'd be able to afford half of Aouars left testicle with the money we'd saved.
