I think this is the first time ive slated him. However its gone on too long now. Yea he had a half decent game before hand, but 2 years ago he was ok, 3 he was decent, before that he was quality.
People will pay a lot for him.. so I'd cash in, I just can't be doing with these mistakes any more. I wanted a win and draw from the last two games, al though we played great.. I'm not happy.
It surprising, we are finally working out the kinks in our attack which was our downfall the last few seasons, and before that, our defense was one of the best in the league.
Now it seems to have flipped over. Attack is doing great, defensively, we've been poor.
I'm afraid that we won't find a quality keeper if we let Reina go for a few seasons. This could again push us back a bit as the defense would have to learn the patterns of a new stopper, and the keeper is going to need time to adjust to our forward's movements. I do wish we signed Butland as an understudy because we could have nurtured him pretty well, and perhaps by then we would have a great keeper on our hands. I also wish we went for Lloris.
Judging by how the rest of the season goes, Reina could be one of the next to move on.
