See you Brad, all the best. Seems a little odd getting rid of our keeper without a replacement or indeed manager.

He's a free agent. The decision isn't ours.

We are delighted to announce that Brad Friedel has agreed to join the Club.

The former Liverpool and Galatasaray goalkeeper has established himself as one of the Premier League's leading players in his position.

A former United States international who has been selected in three World Cup Finals, Brad made 356 appearances for Blackburn Rovers, scoring once at Charlton Athletic in February 2004, before joining Aston Villa in the summer of 2008. His consistent performances saw him presented with the Barclays Merit Award in December 2008 after breaking the record for consecutive Premier League appearances following his 167th straight game and he has since extended this run to 275.

Manager Harry Redknapp said: "Brad is a top goalkeeper of real quality who has great experience. It is good to have three such experienced top goalkeepers at the Club in Gomes, Carlo and now Brad and it means we have competition for places particularly with the number of games we will hopefully face next year both domestically and in Europe as well."

Best of luck, money well spent by O'Neill but a two year deal for a 40 year old is a bit daft.

[Summers]

I'm oddly a bit disappointed. He did well for us. Plus side it means we're deffo gonna have a new goalkeeper which is atleast a bit exciting.

His reflexes were going slowly and he's 40. So a two year deal on his wage level is crazy really.

Will his 275 consecutive league games get fucked up now though?

[kieron]

T'ra a bit Brad. Ta for some fine, fine saves.

[Chris Smith]

Sorry to see him go, I guess we didn't want to offer a 2 year deal and Spurs did.

[Concrete John]

I think he'd have gone to anyone that offered him two years as opposed to one.

Was a good keeper for us and I wish him all the best.

[Legion]

Good luck, Brad.

[frank]

Good luck to him. Still a great shot-stopper, as against Liverpool the other week, but I think his time is up as a top PL keeper

[Meanwood Villa]

No hard feelings Brad, thanks for your service. Don't want to wish him luck though considering where he's gone.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Sorry to see him go, I guess we didn't want to offer a 2 year deal and Spurs did.

I'll be even more sorry when we sign Robert Fucking Green.

Good point, don't let facts get in the way of a good moan though haha!

[Arsey]
