Walter Benitez Medical

Looks the type of squad player we need to compete on many fronts this year. Played in CL, all PSV league games and has been international back up to Martinez.

Best of all it’s on a free transfer!!
 
Started every game this season.....

Is he coming to sit on the bench, or properly challenge for the No1 spot?

He'll be signed as the number 2, probably with the understanding that he'll get a good chunk of the domestic cup games and to be ready if Henderson gets an injury or an enormous form dip. When Henderson joined he started off as the 2.

Every club with half a brain has a number 2 that can operate as the number 1. Arsenal now have Kepa, Liverpool (incredibly) have Mamardashvili and Allison, City have Ortega, Newcastle Dubravka, Steele at Brighton, Tottenham have keepers coming out of their ears...

For what can go wrong when you have a crap number 2, see Aston Villa's recent visits to Selhurst Park

Altay Bayindir at Man Utd hasn't exactly covered himself in glory.
 
What puzzles me is why would he sign for us as a number 2 when he’s just won the title with PSV playing every game, also played champions league last season, straight to bench warmer, bizarre.
 
He was supposedly on around 25k per week at PSV. We've probably offered him at least double that. Added to that, we have the Europa League (hopefully!), two domestic cup competitions and the PL season, so he should have opportunities to get starts.
