Surely he was a better choice to be our number 3 than a 40 year old Manninger? Particularly, as he was training with us in pre-season?
Although not quite sure he would have settled for that.
Hahahaha STEADY ON THERE. Brad Jones, while a cracking human being, was terrrrrrrrrrible. Mignolet in his 'I have zero confidence. None. Please- kill me. Anything to make this game end and get me outta here' depths last year still looked like Buffon and Neuer's love child in comparison to Brad. Brad Jones is by all accounts a great guy but not someone to get wistful about wishing he was still here.
I thought the tops was when some on RAWK were ass-blasting out "maybe we sold Aspas too quickly?" posts last year, but this might be my new favorite. To your point, absolutely, Manninger probably does not represent an upgrade. But by Fowler he can't be worse
Now, shade throwing aside, Brad Jones just kept a clean sheet against THE 2016 SWAGGERCHAMPS, and he's always been an absolute gent while dealing with some awful crap, so good on him. All the best
