It's obviously ideal to have a great keeper in situ, and there's a history of teams rising up a level after signing one, but the mancs this season have shown you can survive without a top class number one, and Arsenal have shown you can challenge with a series of weirdoes as keeper, so I still think it's not a priority.
Not convinced. He's always been a good shot-stopper, but he's still dodgy in the air and I have my doubts about whether he'll be able to stand up to the power and pace of the Prem over the long term.
So he's not at the moment. Thank you. DING! Next!
Get a young keeper in who can challenge Reina. A kid thats actually good, not some 19 year old no-one's heard of who will join Accrington Stanley in 6 months.
I don't think Reina has the same hunger like he used to. If he did he wouldn't have been so overweight up until around November. That weight should have been off since July. Plus i can't remember the last time he made a world class save to keep us in the game or saved a penalty. I think he's playing in the comfort zone.
I struggle to remember the last time Reina 'won' us a match and I am in favour of his replacement in the near future, but not this Summer.
Reina is a decent enough keeper for a club of our current stature. His decline has mirrored the clubs. The bottom line is the midfield and defense needs addressing and that's a bigger priority.
We need a DM, CB and possibly a LB before we need a new GK.

Rumour has is that Victor Valdes will be sold by Barcelona at the end of this season, so they don't lose him for nothing at the end of next season.
Barcelona have apparently reached an agreement with Moenchengladbach for Ter Stegen.
Yeah I read that, its Marca though. His agent and Gladbach said it was nonsense.
On a sidenote De Gea is goalkkeeper for the club who are 12 points ahead of second place "spits"
And what will happen to him if he doesn't play in 6, 12 or 18 months?
There is no point buying a promising young goalkeeper and then never playing him. The only solution is to have an older backup keeper and if you're buying young you have to go the way we did with that Bulgarian keeper and Chelsea with Courtois.
I don't know about that, all the top sides seem to have flaky keepers!
Well arguably the idea is that you buy someone who will be better than Reina in that time period. If he hasn't, you've bought the wrong player I guess.
Why don't we just sign Neuer and be done with it? Bring in Begovic as his understudy too.
Why always us?
Can't imagine Casillas jumping ship from Real simply because he and Mourinho don't see eye to eye, given that Mourinho himself will be off in the summer. If Casillas really *is* talking about a possible move, there has to be more to it than just the Mourinho angle IMO.
