Goalkeepers
Chris Maxwell is my best keeper. The Welshman is approaching his prime for a goalkeeper at 27 years old and is also perfectly suited to playing Sweeper Keeper role that I like to utilise. He could be our first choice keeper for a long time.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is 18 and nailed on to be my starting goalkeeper for the next 20 odd years. His brother, Antonio, will be sufficient back up for now. Storari is odd and hopeless – he...
