Strakosha can still improve and only by playing as a starter. Still to this day his biggest weakness is playing with his foot under pressure and finding his teammates be it with a short or long pass.
Strakosha’s weakest point is that he gets stuck to the goalie line and doesn’t control the goalkeeper area with his feet or his hands…. He can’t improve!

I don't know about you but I'd rather be on the bench of United, Liverpool, Barca , Madrid etc than be playing for Fulham or Elche for example.

Ofc he can improve, he's 27, GKs enter their prime at that age, to say he cant get better is madness.

Also what people forget is that making a top club is literally a childhood dream for most people. Football careers are short and that's the peak of a professional player. Nobody dreams of playing for Elche or Spezia. They dream of Barcelona and Manchester United.

Also who's to say he won't get any minutes? Being a #2 is not that bad. Cups and rotations exist. Besides who's to say that De Gea won't break his elbow or something? You never know.

Training basically but that's your #6 doing that.

I grew up a United fan and would rather play at Fulham than warm the bench at Old Trafford.

Fulham is a big club too. Top striker of the Balkans, and one of the best in world plays there.

One of the best strikers in the world doesn’t play for Fulham

Not like playing for Fullham would be guaranteed either. Sure the chances would be higher than United but he'd still have to earn his place. Keep in mind that Strakosha was literally benched by 40 year Pepe Reina who was forced out of retirement and didn't even want to play lol...

Most second choice goalkeepers in top leagues are competent, not complete amateurs. Etrit Berisha was also projected to be the #1 of Torino but a Serbian gk stole his spot right under his nose for most of the season.

We need a keeper that plays. It's that simple. The longer you sit on the bench, the more error prone you'll be.
