That would be an absolute coup for us and would make me very, very happy.

The standout keeper of a generation - drawing a £23m fee in 2001 when that meant something, and basically invented the modern sweeper-keeper role!

Lets be clear, he's not coming in to be first choice, but to be an experienced 3rd choice, I would imagine, and would be just as involved in coaching the likes of Karius, Butland (maybe) and Grabara.

We mostly excited about Reina coming into that role, but Buffon's experience and raw ability is a few notches above Pep.

Yeah mate and if the rumour above is true too we’re making a legends team.

Agree with Zeddicus on this one. Depending on the costs involved it could be a good move for a year. It wouldn’t just be the goalkeepers that would have something to learn from Buffons wealth of experience, the defence, attackers and on big games he has experience with pressure that many of the current squad have not experienced (although they may have an insight at the end of this month! )

Haha . i've just read the same rumour . the best part of it was the line, and i quote: the 40yr old says he may delay retirement to fulfil his lifelong dream of playing with Alberto Moreno 😂😂😂😂.

Thanks, Macca!

I don't understand Tarkowski and Butland to be honest, unless they are relatively cheap due to a release clause.

Fakir and Dembele, though, make perfect sense. We could score potentially 150 goals next season with these two rotating. up front with the three.

I really do hope this is true and we get him in and if the rumour about Yaya is true i also hope we get him.
