The gamble on Martinez has a pretty simple explanation really, and many won’t like it— he is skilled with the ball at his feet. More so than the other names we were linked with, even if he wasn’t the first choice.
Inzaghi, and by extension the management, see the future as ball-playing goalkeepers that can in-effect serve as extra outfield players. He sees it at worth the risk to maybe have a goalkeeper that wasn’t AS good at traditional goalkeeping, for the overall net gain in the way they can help control the ball. We all saw how much Onana improved our overall play when he stepped in for Handanovic.
Agree or not. That’s the direction we’re deciding to go in. We’ll see if it pays off.
