We conceded less but he was still making mistakes. Our reduced goal leakage is down to the defence performing better & coming to terms with what they are supposed to do; that and the dropping of Skrtel.

I'm not sure. I think if he goes he will be replaced. And if he doesn't go, he'll improve. I think it is a win-win situation right now.
I'm intrigued to see who could come in if he does go. We were linked with Patricio at Porto, and he has impressed me in the Champions League and Europa League in the last few seasons. I admit not seeing much of him in the league, but he is certainly part of a winning team.
His cost and contract would likely match that of Mignolet which would be covered by Reina's deal, and hand the manager a bit more on the wage budget side. Plus, at a similar age to Mignolet, we'd have some great competition for a No. 1 jersey. It is something the title-chasing Manchester clubs have had for a couple of seasons now. Joe Hart has been the undisputed number 1 keeper at City, isn't it? At United it has been a bit different since Van Der Saar left only because David De Gea took time settling in, even at Spurs Lloris is number 1 now because Brad F is a bit old for the top spot. I think teams have 2 competing keepers only when they do not have anyone good.

I think teams have 2 competing keepers only when they do not have anyone good. Hart has had to step aside for a couple of the lesser games, and Pantillimon was given assurances of more opportunities. De Gea and Lindegaard are 2 very talented young keepers. De Gea may have improved, but Lindegaard is more than capable of stepping in. Friedel is still top-drawer and reliable. You couldn't compare Jones to Friedel?! Even Chelsea have had Turnbull who is superior to Jones in terms of form and mistakes. Plus they have a guy like Courtois out on loan! We don't. I think the point you made is more wrong than right to be honest.

Whats the bets Mignolet wears the number 1 shirt by August? Friend from Liverpool told me on Facebook today that a few are saying he wasn't given number 1 because then it would be completely done that Reina is leaving and maybe rive 1 or 2 million off his price, his wages are too hefty and he will be leaving watch this space.
No,this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.Reality itself is too twisted.

I think the point you made is more wrong than right to be honest. My point was never to say that Jones is any good because I don't think he is. My point is, teams with a top goalkeeper have a clear number one, doesn't mean that we dont need a good number two. However, I do not think that Mignolet has been bought as a number 2 as I think Reina will be sold.

In the right set up he'd be class - just made me cringe anytime he went near anybody in the box. Square pegs in round holes.

Have been reading our rivals transfer forums, a couple saying Barca should be replacing Valdes with Mignolet and not Reina, saying Mignolet is great coup for us at 25(?)
