You have seen your wife naked for too long, thats why you itch for someone else even though your wife is clearly hotter than the person your itching to hit on.
Whilst impressed with him, he strikes me as a lucky goalkeeper thus far. Everything going his way sort of thing.
He has some great attributes, some of which are better than Hugo's. He's taller than him which is a plus already, he plays football better than Hugo can and so far he's been very good.
He looks a little dodgy at crosses and seems unwilling to rush off his line, even when it's glaringly obvious he ought to.
What I think this debate over who's better shows is that Hugo's level has dropped somewhat over the last 18 months.
Are you Ian Walker?Watching how my own lad has developed in just a few months, that sort of confidence comes from playing games regularly. He has to get used to the line the defenders in front of him play, along with what their natural movements and reactions are.
His kicking and distribution is hypnotising. It gained him an honourable mention in "The Nowhere Men" by Michael Calvin.
This is when he was at Gillingham U21s

Pat Jennings changed goalkeeping with his style of stopping the ball with any part of his body as long as it didn’t go in the net. Our best ever goalie.We just need to remember that in goalkeeping terms, he's still very young and hopefully, learning FAST.
I just want to say, one of the worst young goalies I ever saw was an 18 year old we got from Watford many years ago and those of us of a certain age will know exactly who I'm talking about. By the time he ended his career having won 119 international caps and hundreds of games for Tottenham (and another club we don't talk about...) he was the best goalkeeper I ever saw and I still love the guy.
Paolo is our future and I'm sure we'll give him every opportunity to fulfil his full potential. The more he plays, the better he'll get.

He'd only need a pinky for mine.He could also catch balls with one hand. His hands were humongous .

Why?27 is "very young" for a goalkeeper?
By the time Hugo is done with us he'll probably be 30 . V Good number 2 but I think we need a promising keeper who is actually young to be the future
Schmeichel was great at that too, and now De Gea.Pat Jennings changed goalkeeping with his style of stopping the ball with any part of his body as long as it didn’t go in the net. Our best ever goalie.

Anyone else think Gazzaniga should be on Love Island?
Nice try, Hugo.A great penalty save to win the Audi Cup yesterday but I have to say, in the games I've seen him in pre-season he hasn't impressed me like he did at times last season. I thought he could have done better with a few of the goals he's conceded, possibly the first against Juventus and definitely both against United and the first against Bayern. He seems far too concerned about being beaten at his near post so leaves too much space to aim at across the goal.
