I suppose if the keeper is closed down then someone will be free and in effect we or the team doing it now has an overload.
Clearly some keepers are better than others at it.

I know some on here don’t like all the tippy tappy stuff, but it’s clearly in IB’s remit. The players we bring in are with a view to providing a footballing education, improving significantly and at some point hopefully selling them on for good money. To make players more desirable at the top end of the pyramid they need to be good passers of the football.
Time will tell if it will work. Time will tell whether the players we improve take us up through the leagues.
