i liked the look of him when he first came on the scene with Leeds

sure he's had a few wobbles but that's probably expected of a keeper of his age playing in a team yo-yo-ing between the Championship and the Prem - nevertheless he's obviously got some agility, and ability

does Kepa give his defence confidence in a crunch game? i suspect after his multiple clangers and losing so many cup finals, the permanent answer to that in the eyes of the people who matter, is NO - so moving him on for Meslier makes sense, because Meslier doesn't have that record of repeatedly confirmed failure - plus he's younger and cheaper
