Do we buy a new backup for Simon Mignolet, or buy someone actually capable of replacing the Belgian…?
Mignolet’s double-edged season will cause serious questions to be asked this summer. Based on the first six months – he needs directly replacing, but based on his form since Christmas, we only need a new backup stopper as Brad Jones’s contract isn’t being renewed… We think we should sign a strong keeper who will be an upgrade on Jones and challenge Mignolet, rather than someone who’ll expect to be given the no.1 jersey.
