At the end of the day there's only one club with a good second choice keeper and that's United. We're simply not going to get the ideal, experienced, quality 2nd keeper that many here want.
Well, this is the thing. I think it's fair to say that we haven't had a decent second choice keeper in a long long while. And at times over the years it has cost us; or at least it has prevented us from giving our first choice a break from the firing line when things aren't going for them.
From what I can gather Fabianski is on around £40-50k a week.
Given that Rob Green would be free, and is currently demanding wages not much beyond what we're paying Fabianski, it wouldn't be a problem money-wise.
Plus, the fact that we could offer him action at the top table in the Champions League, and the potential for silverware rather than a constant relegation battle, then he might be willing to spend some time on the bench and compete with Szczesny for No.1 spot.
Again, I'm just putting it out there, but it seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me if Fabianski is on his way out. Green is free and if they could bash out the personal terms then he could maybe be a good signing.
If there are better options out there then I'd love to hear them, because right now I don't know who would replace Fabianski.
