I also think a goalkeepers career is slightly different in terms of pathways to that of an outfield player. Victor was only 23 when he signed that deal (a baby for a goaly) and it's important for him to be a number 1 in the spotlight for attracting widespread attention.Ironically our plight in this division probably works to his advantage because he gets lots to do!! To move to a bigger club at that age he suddenly runs the risk of becoming lost as a number 2 waiting for an injury to stake his claim.There is only 1 position a goalkeeper can play,there's only 1 in each team and the chance of injury is far less than an outside player.
