Pochettino clearly doesn’t rate Whiteman he didn’t give him a single minute in pre season. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Vorm on a 3 month contract.
It would make sense, but when did that apply to us?

Reports today that we have resigned Vorm until the end of the year.Pochettino clearly doesn’t rate Whiteman he didn’t give him a single minute in pre season. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Vorm on a 3 month contract.
That would be a good move. Gazzaniga’s form of last season isnt being replicated and he’s come back to earth and then some this year. He isnt good enough and honestly, I’d almost be more comfortable with Vorm there until Hugo gets back.Reports today that we have resigned Vorm until the end of the year.
Sure youth experts will back me up. From the age of 18 ‘ish’ upwards, our young keepers not good enough.
De Bie and Solberg are highly rated. I haven’t seen enough to give a view.Interesting... what’s the stance with De Bie and Solberg? Although likely a one off, look at Milan giving a keeper a debut at 16, a now well respected and highly thought of keeper.
It’s baffling how Vorm (error prone) was released but not replaced, Gazzaniga who was deemed not going enough to be a number 2 but is now the number 2 and currently covering for Lloris despite also being error prone, and our actual number one has been in decline for the last couple of years... yet the club to date hasn’t done anything to rectify this.
Don't see what the issue is with bringing back Vorm? It was pointless paying him 40k-50k a week to be third choice and so right to release him initially but now he'll clearly be second choice for a large part of this season. If Gazzaniga gets injured or starts throwing balls into his own net and the young keepers aren't good enough then it's a no brainer.
Oh, I kinda wish to be that baby right now.
Nobody we could get now would be good enough. Agreed we need a keeper. None of them are good enough including Lloris but not a lot we can do about it until January or next summer. In the meantime, I fail to see an obvious better option than Vorm.The issue is that he’s not good enough and was/is error prone. Gazza and Vorm alike give people the jitters when they play as neither of them ooze confidence = our already fragile defence continuing to have the jitters.
The problem is really that we don't know if they are good enough, NONE of them have any competitive experience. As it stands, yes neither Whiteman nor Austin are capable of being thrown into the first team, but is that due to their ability, or due to the fact they've only played sporadic youth football with no first team experience?Sure youth experts will back me up. From the age of 18 ‘ish’ upwards, our young keepers not good enough.
