Green is a good keeper. They all make mistakes, his was just very high profile.

Chances are he'll be available in the summer if they go down so there might be something in it.

Why? Because of that clanger for England? I know one high-profile error can damage a 'keeper's career but Green has always looked pretty solid to me - except once. He'd be a good signing, I think. Whether he's the best we can get is another matter, however.

Yuri Zurkiv (? spelling) has stated he may leave Chelski in the summer left back and left midfield always looked ok and did take us apart last year. Any takers ?

Green is like many keepers, a good shot stopper but doesn't exactly fill you with confidence when it comes to handling and dominating the box.
The fuck up against us, first game of the season, is fresh in my mind.
He's made a few errors over the years.
No thanks.

No thanks to Rob Green, and not because of his howler in the world cup, but because he has made more than a few this season.

Green has made many cock- ups not just the one , i'd take given or westwood ahead of him anyday.

Given is injured again, same shoulder as before, I think his days are numbered. Westwood has only ever played in the Championship and would be far too big a risk as first choice.

I honestly don't think there are too many keepers out there anymore that make me feel confident for the 90 minutes.

We need 2 keepers as guzan is not up the job anyway, given will be fit in may and we could actually probably pick up him for a couple of million and Westwood on a free- everyone has bad games in them , but green more than most- no thanks.

Way off the mark there Chris, Green's fucking useless.

I'd rather have Sorenson back before him.

If we are going to sign a keeper currently playing PL football, we should go for Paul Robinson.

Has got over his cock-up with England and playing as well as ever.  Also won't be disappearing every international break.
