No taking the specific case to judge, but come to my mind that UK misses
good keepers.
It's amazing that Banks homeland can't produce any more realiable keepers.
I say that considering you're not happy with Calamity at yr national side,
and that Wright + Kirkland could not provide the hopes you want.
Green seems to be an option, but sometimes we overate a keeper because he
plays a weak side and have full action week in week out.
Weaver was a disappointment, others are too old...
Who has the answer pls be welcome.
