I’m very excited about this, if true. Chiefly, because we desperately need a younger number one who is OURS. We could build a defence around him for about a decade. However, my biggest worry is that some players do look best in poor teams, where some of their mistakes are forgiven quickly because everyone else makes even more. It’s a good job we’re a poor team then.

Jorge Campos was 5 ft 6 He was madder.than a cucuracha though. Remember that save he did where he did a kinda forward flip overhead double back heel. Bonkers but very entertaining.

First Euro Cup final I remember was Liverpool V Borussia M and was the first time had seen a really tall keeper, Wolfgang Kneib. Big lanky chap in trackie bottoms. He was a bit of a novelty in those days , a really tall keeper. Was Sepp Maier tall or did he just have massive gloves? Pretty sure he literally did have massive oversized gloves. Don't know how he was allowed to get away with it.

Campos did also play as a striker for his club and once scored a fantastic overhead kick that was shown.on TV during the WC so can see the confusion. I think he was top scorer for his club side, forget which one. Played in MLS after for Chicago Was an excellent keeper to be fair but eccentric like Higuita and Chilavert who had an impressive goalscoring record with Paraguay

It's mental the risk reward of having your goalkeeper no where near goal!

The national team's Viktor Johansson at Arlanda to fly to England. Expected to sign for Stoke City shortly Johansson travels to sign for StokeDaniel Kristoffersson Here is the national team's goalkeeper Viktor Johansson at Arlanda about to sign for Stoke City. According to Sportbladet's information, the club wins the tug of war for the Swede. There have been serious rumors about the national team's goalkeeper Viktor Johansson recently. He has been linked with a number of clubs in England, with Leeds, Stoke, Southampton and a couple of other clubs in The Championship looking for the Swede. He also had a buyout clause in the contract with Rotherham of SEK 13.5 million according to English media. And according to Sportbladet's information, Stoke now activates that clause and buys him off. The player was at Arlanda on Thursday evening to fly to England to sign for Stoke City. If everything goes as planned, he will be presented as the club's latest signing within the next few days. Maybe already this weekend or next week at the latest.
Johansson made 46 appearances for Rotherham and kept six clean sheets. In total, there were 144 games for the club, which will play in League 1 next year.

Good signing and a relief to see us showing common sense and being proactive in that position. We've been short there for years

Jack Bonham casually reaches for a cigar and cognac. He knows something mad will kick off and he'll be back as number one by Christmas. More Christmas number 1s than Bob Geldoph

www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/rotherham-united-boss-steve-evans-praises-character-and-humility-of-top-class-viktor-johansson-and-makes-a-pledge-4613916"Viktor's been a wonderful goalkeeper for the club. Everyone is aware of the huge interest in him. "I'm getting phone calls from managers who want my opinion on what he's like behind the scenes. They don't ask what he's like between sticks. They see that for themselves. "Fans have bonds with managers and players because they recognise what they do and how hard they fight for their club. Viktor is a top-class talent. "I've sat in the stands and watched him and he's been wonderful. More importantly, he's a really good guy off the pitch. He's really professional. "He's also really humble, which is different to how you sometimes find players in the Championship who have got aspirations.” “Today I met his grandad who is spending time in this country," the Scot said. "I told him: "Forget Viktor's footballing abilities, just be proud you have a grandson who conducts himself so well.” ‘He understood when I came in that it was highly probable that he would be going and he also understood that I had to do some homework into Dillon (Phillips). We’ve tried to look after him the last week or so because it could be life changing what’s might happen to Viktor but if he walks in the building at the end of June I’ll be absolutely delighted. Dillon Phillips is a number one, he just met Johansson who was number one star, star, star"

Having a permanent top quality goalie is absolutely massive.
If he’s good as the hype around him suggests and we manage to put some decent CB’s in front of him then it’s a big step forward for where we want to be.
