    Almunia was bought as a backup that got promoted cause the first choice GK was doing badly. Then when Almunia himself was doing badly Fabianski (another that was bought as backup) was promoted, which himself was taken over by Mannone (3rd choice) for awhile cause of performance and injury.

    In the end we finally “upgraded” with Woj, which was technically an academy graduate so not a single cent was spent lol. We finally spent money on a proper keeper in Cech but in hindsight it didn’t bring us much joy either

    It was so frustrating

      Was so happy when Leno came through. he was pretty clutch for a while. I think all this really leads to Ramsdale being so loved in a way, finally a overall reliable keeper
