Ok, simple explanation why I thought he was a liability last year.

watch it again and pay attention to where the ball goes after his saves.

That's what I was thinking ... how many of those "saves" turned into "goals" two seconds after the clip ended?

Can't believe he's gone to Spurs at 40...probably can't believe his luck. Would be more at home at a lower level or on his sofa at this stage.

He made some good saves, his attitude was spot-on (the 20 years he's been in the game I'm sure he knows how to see through the bullshit that goes on in the modern game).

The ''parrying shots back to where they came from and keeping the defence under pressure'' thing is the sole reason why I won't really miss him. A terrible habit for such an experienced goalie. Not good on judging when to come off his line either.

Yep two that spring to mind were the Chelsea 3rd goal Terry scored which he palmed straight back into the 6 yard box and also Fulham at home when he did the same thing.

Good keeper but right time to let him go I think.

Cahill's goal in the 3-2 defeat against bolton was another he palmed straight back the opposition as well.  There's a few more as well, I can remember about 9-10 that I thought he messed up on last year that led to goals, and that's not including goals that came from crosses that he should have come for.

He was a great goalkeeper for a couple of years but last year was a season to long and I can't beleive he's got a 2 year contract with anyone on the back of it.
