Donnarumma

The whole thing is a bit outdated.

At Pau Lopez age, Casillas was incredible. De Gea was one of the best goalkeepers in world football. Same with Cortois.

Like you say, Donnarruma. Also Lafont, Scuffet, Pickford all showing they're comfortable.
 
Yeah the kid's talented but this thread is about Pau Lopez.
He's not starting ahead of Lloris anytime soon.
Well, you were saying Pau should be happy to get a game and 'keepers don't usually start games at this age etc... :pochfacepalm:

So let it be... let's hope Pau has a good game for us if he is to start
 
Club have 'realised' player is signing for Pochettino this summer, waiting for Tottenham to contact them - Sport Witness

Espanyol working through a deal to sign Diego Lopez from AC Milan permanently wasn’t a big enough sign they feel Pau Lopez is joining Tottenham permanently, then going for another goalkeeper surely is.

Catalan newspaper Sport report Espanyol are making an offer to Gorka Iraizoz to be their back-up goalkeeper, with the carrot he’ll also be providing competition and have a fair chance.

Espanyol would not be working to sign two goalkeepers if Pau was to return from his Tottenham loan, and Sport underline that. The Spanish club are said to have ‘realised’ Tottenham are making the deal permanent, and Espanyol favourite Mauricio Pochettino will be getting Pau long term.

Now Espanyol are waiting for Tottenham to contact them to confirm the deal. This time around there’s no reporting about Spurs trying to talk Espanyol down on the €7m clause,

but it’d be no surprise if that’s continuing in the background.

Pau Lopez is expected to be Hugo Lloris’ deputy next season, which puts a big question mark over Michel Vorm’s future with the club.

Vorm signed an extension with Tottenham last summer, but it was only to add a further year to his contract, which now ends in 2018, and therefore protect Spurs from losing the Dutchman for nothing.
 
Barry Fry came out this week to confirm that he was trying to buy Luke McGee, he also said we were signing a keeper. The fact we get Lopez, doesn't mean we lose Vorm. At the moment it looks more like Lopez is coming in for McGee.
Yeah if Poch thinks Pau is upto standard then fair play, but genuinely Vorm could be first choice in most prem squads, exceptional to have him as second choice and he seems happy which is good
 
Barry fry asked levy if he can have Luke on a free transfer and get a huge chunk of any sell on fee once they are done with him. Anyone reckon levy will let him go for nothing???
 
Tottenham purchase of player 'being negotiated', Levy expected to secure deal within week - Sport Witness

Pau Lopez to Tottenham Hotspur seems to continually creep forward, with the occasionaly big jump backwards. Each time it gets to the stage where all that seems missing is an announcement, then sure enough a setback comes and the creeping forward starts once again.

Mauricio Pochettino and Toni Jimenez brought the young goalkeeper from their previous club Espanyol. The original deal was a one season loan, with Tottenham then being able to buy the player for €7m.

There’s a €500k fee payable should Spurs not sign Pau permanently. Last week we covered claims from Spain that Tottenham’s latest offer is just €2m, and whilst that was much less than expected, there’s still been confidence a deal will be agreed soon.

Around the same time, Sport reported that everything is expected to be sorted before the end of May, which gives Daniel Levy a week to sort out what were called the ‘final details’ with Espanyol.

Today’s edition of Sport says the transfer is still ‘being negotiated’, which is better than everyone storming away from talks.

In other Espanyol news, the deal to sign Diego Lopez permanently is one the verge of being done. Again.

Points taken, I guess I'm just still in awe of some of the saves Gazzaniga made.
I think Gazzaniga can become pretty good to be fair, very good with his feet, is tall and must have e something about him for Poch and Toni to want him, probably a project for them

Read somewhere when he was at Gillingham all prem scouts were watching him

Watch now in a year or 2 we will win the CL with Gazza in goal
