Don Pacifico I think what you're saying validates the point I was trying to make. Feels like a lack of a clear strategy at times in terms of GK recruitment given the churn and it keeps taking a portion of our recruitment budget that could be allocated elsewhere.
Probably a reflection of our trajectory more than anything. Runarsson, Turner, and Ramsdale were players we signed as a club who finished 8th - an era where Tierney was widely considered a top player.
A more pointed demonstration of this is Jesus and Zinchenko, widely credited with elevating us to title challengers, now derided by many as not being good enough to turn us into title winners.
The marginal gains to take us up a level is incredibly hard, the fact that we've been able to do it with the likes of Raya, is a big plus point for me.
