The keeper situation could easily develop into the panic situation we had last season when Davies injured his shoulder permanently. Luckily then there were a few days left of the window to bail us out.
Guzan is no PL keeper and Brad will be lucky to be as good for another full season

I'd be much happier if we replaced Guzan with one of those goalies that has never had one or two slightly dodgy moments.


Don't worry. We'll find him at the same club as our 20 goal a season striker and young defensive midfielder who combines the vision, awesome passing and perfect tackling that puts Stan Petrov to shame.

Joe Hart would be ideal.

Joe Hart - together with Ireland and Bellamy from Citeh would make a cracking swap for Jimmy.

Am I correct in saying that Celtic have just sold their keeper ?

We have a good credit line arranged there I think ;-)

Tim Howard is a decent keeper and only 31.

A problem for next summer I guess, more pressing concerns this year.

Time waits for no man, deals can be done sooner rather than later, but yes, our current Manager is likely to address this c. 31 August, 2011 - 11.59 pm.

At walsall in the week. Friedel pulled off a world class reflex save from 6 yards. And this is pre-season. He is in fantastic shape and he is probably our least concerning player ...................

I'd bleed Guzan in more this season. He deserves a run of games so we can really see him.

He's got phenomenal reflexes, that's something you can't teach. So he's got the hard part under his belt. I reckon he'll still be our number 1.

Not convinced Westwood is up to par.

Keepers need football and mistakes to make them great. Guzan needs time.

Joe Hart would be the ideal option, top quality keeper, and it would p!ss off the noses. I think he would be out of our price range though. Can't see Citeh wanting to do a deal unless Milner part of it. I would take Hart, Ireland and Onuoha.

Westwood for me.

Catch 'em on the way up.

Played in the Championship so shouldn't have the same issues Guzan has with crosses and the like.
