In a way this will be make or break for Achterberg. He's got a reprieve countless times in the last 5 years. Reina was 'past it'. Mignolet 'a Sunderland level player doing what a Sunderland level player does' and Karius a 'inexperienced keeper from mid table Bundesliga'. With Allison he'll get to prove the doubters wrong if our new number 1 succeeds big time but if the questions over our number 1 keeper persist even with Allison on board then there's no escape for Achterberg.
