Good point Ian :tup: Hopefully Marcelo is working on his lack of the English language.

Okay.....
He wasn't as good as he was built up to be and if he stays, hopefully the defence/goalie sweeper will have got their act together by the start of the season.
Rating 5 because he was a disappointment (to me)

quality he isn't. as a sweeper keeper you need to communicate with your defence and this fella doesn't open his gob . we need someone british imo who can actually bark and command the back line. his distribution isn't great neither . made a couple of good saves but overall been disappointing . bin him for me. rating 5.

Totally agree 63
Communication and understanding is paramount, without this the defence collapses. His powder puff distribution 50 mtrs up in the air to the full backs is schoolboy standard. Surely he himself and the coaches can see the problems it causes. He's not convinced me at all and for 30k a week coming from RM I'd say get rid , system or no system he just isnt worth it. More goals, defeats and cockups since he arrived which cost us promotion.

Retain. As things stand he is the best we have at the club. I think I read somewhere he was unsettled and looking for a move home.

For me it should be bye bye, did ok at the start a good shot stopper but terrified us all at crosses plus the “language” barrier issue that got him a ban

I agree but he has two years left on his contract and I cant see anyone wanting him.

Retain - I like Meslier but would prefer him as back up for another year. Rather than sign a 1 year keeper, I'd rather keep Casilla for another year and have Meslier fight to replace him

6/10

Bye bye from me too. Defenders don’t seem as confident with him as they do with Meslier and would prefer Miazek as back up.

Sorry - rating, cant give him any more than 6/10 and even that is a tad generous. Even watching games as a spectator I feel more nervous with him in goal than Meslier!

this is the keeper who got us to the top of the league, and kept us there most of the season..

With Spider boy doing so well, it will keep him on his toes, so keep for me 7/10
