Johnny, I suspect you are correct about Caranta. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Ha ha ! There was a guy on a ladder in my apartment yesterday fixing the air conditioner when I noticed Migliore’s ugly mug on the tv screen. I immediately announced that “un diablo feo” was on tv and I made the sign of the cross. The guy almost fall off the ladder laughing.

Definitely Boca needs an upgrade in the keeper department. Garcia has potential but he is not there. As for Caranta, if anybody ever finds out how he became a “non person” at Boca, please post it. He was struggling with balls in the air, but obviously something else happened. I always figured he was part of the “we are tired of Roman” contingent, and maybe Caceres was just the spokesman, while Caranta was the ringleader. Who knows ?

You need a goalkeeper who’s familiar with the club, preferably having played in front of La12 before, and someone who’s a fan of the club, who has Boca as the very fibre of his being.

Why not try Migliore?

PLEASE!!!!

I love these occasional goalkeeper-centric posts, Sam. Thanks!

Caranta at his best is better than every other goalkeeper mentioned. I still don’t understand how he fell from grace so fast, but surely he’s still the same goalkeeper?

Garcia is simply not good enough. He’s still young and can improve, but he certainly shouldn’t be a number one. He made some staggering mistakes, and still there was no way back for Caranta.

Andujar and Orion are both very good, but as you mentioned, Sam, there’s not much chance Boca could get them. I think both will be in Europe within two years.
