So is Areola going to be our #1with Fab playing the cup games

I would have thought so. Can't see Areola committing to 5 years without some assurances that he'll be playing more often than not.

And possibly that was factored into Fabianksi's extension; that he'd effectively be our cup 'keeper this time round.

Happy days

I like Areola, thought hw was unlucky that Moyes was quite strict that Fab was the prem keeper and Areola the Europa one, thought there was apoitn where Areola showings were better than Fabs

Think the roles will be reversed, expect and hope that Areola is the Prem keeper and Fab tKes the Europa conference and cup competitions

Another good signing, think we'll appreciate Areola a lot more this season when we see more of him

I expect Moyes will be comparing Areola and Fabs performance during the pre-season before deciding

Based on track record we will have 2 quality keepers to choose from. Nice problem to have.

yoyo

2 new signings capable of first team starts. Great business. Now for a couple more PLEASE!! And let one be a striker!

I'd rather Fab was used only for the domestic cups as they would be harder to win than the ECL, IMHO of course , as I think that Areola is the better keeper of the two.

Where were the Danjuma talks? He looked a great player in the championship

Just think we could have possibly tried a bit harder & got him last summer. Waits for the “how do you know we didn’t” onslaught. 😬

He will but he already knows the pros and cons of both.

Striker LB CM AM to go

Can't clubs think of anything else than the old player looking down then looks up at the camera technique. I don't know why but this annoys me so much lol.
Good signing though.

S'pose you want them on a unicycle, juggling balls in a big red foam nose, yeah?

Hamstew

No that's just silly. Only a few of us have mastered all those things.

What's happened to the players returning with a fine selection of bags?
