Oblak "rumoured" to be our number 1 target for the goalkeeper position and may try and tempt Atletico with a player+ cash deal involving Kepa. He's the dream singing for that position but i'd be stunned if that happened. I don't know Atletico's financial position and whether they need the money or not but if they do then who knows. We'd definitely need CL football if we were to have any chance of convincing Oblak to join too. Don't see it happening but a man can dream.

He’s a quality keeper don’t get me wrong but there are goalkeepers around who are just at smaller clubs who could have a similar impact. Predrag Rajkovic would be my pick he’s had a fantastic first season at Reims and he’s a great shot stopper and very good at collecting crosses.

Just can’t see us splashing that sort of money on Havertz (who i’d prefer) and Oblak. Not to mention we still need a left back and a centre back. I think Rice will happen with hopefully Barkley going the other way.

Agree Bobby i'd definitely prefer Havertz if we had to choose but considering how many players that may be moving on i don't feel being able to afford both is that unrealistic tbh. Thinks it's more Atletico accepting that offer is what i find hard to see.

Haven't seen Rajkovic play so can't give an opinion on him but getting a keeper who can command his area is very important. As for Rice i've never understood the negativity when he's been linked with us, every time i see him he looks like a top player who'll only get better. Only worry is that we need a experienced leader at the back, Rice has leadership qualities but i don't feel like he'd be what we need. I'd definitely take him as a CDM though, feel that's his best position.

Rajkovic played against for Tel Aviv a while back (I think) . Looked good and, if I remember correctly, we were keen on him back then but he only wanted to move to a club where he'd be first choice.

Oblak is certainly one of the best in the world, it'd be another world record fee for a goalkeeper, which I can't see us going for.

Oblak is sensational. Other than his distribution which is around average he is world class in every aspect.
