With the Fabianski to Swansea deal confirmed, there will be more uncertainty over Vorm's future at the Welsh club. The Dutch international who will be with Holland in Rio has been linked with a move to Liverpool to provide competition for Mignolet and this signing only adds to that. Until other moves happen and things become known after the World Cup, this is either a security move to add depth with second choice Tremmel not impressing in Vorm's injury absence, or a sign of Vorm's departure.
To speed along the process of analysis here's some quick points reflecting on the move:
To speed along the process of analysis here's some quick points reflecting on the move:
- Vorm plays as a sweeper - both styles; distributor, being one of the greatest passers of the ball in league with great accuracy (a la Reina) - and goal chance interceptor, Lloris like in rushing out of his box to stop the attacker getting through in on goal - I don't think Fabianski can play in this style, meaning Swansea will have to adapt their defensive line and the way it plays
- Vorm makes amazing saves with his athleticism and reach rather than height! Fabianski doesn't have the matching desire to win as Vorm did when he made a name for himself
- Fabianski struggles with confidence (as shown when coming in as relief in Champions League etc.) but a lower pressure environment compared to Arsenal could help recapture his form, as with Mannone at Sunderland
