Guzan To Re-Sign

[SoccerHQ]

Maybe Cudicini at Spurs although he's always been weak on crosses.

I like Westwood at Sunderland aswell.

While we're onto a tangent like this, I think Stoke are quite well off.

They're the only club I can think who genuinely have two keepers who can challenge to be first choice (echoing an earlier point of peter w's).

Neither are ones I would be desperate to have here, but at least they are both in a position of knowing that if they do badly then they are at risk of being replaced. Which can only be a good thing.

[Percy McCarthy]

Yes, I always liked Sorensen.

SSN showed a table the other day, of which clubs had the biggest net spend over something like that the last 5 years. Arsenal were bottom having actually made more in player sales than spent in purchases. As you would imagine, Man City were top. Both us and Stoke were in the top 5.

I'd be quite surprised if that were that case.

We brought in £60m through the sales of Milner, Young and Downing.

This isn't the same table as it's over 10 years but it's quite interesting none-the-less. http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2011/08/12/arsenals-net-spending-of-48m-in-a-decade-puts-them-9th-in-premier-league-120802/

That's pretty much all we've sold though. I think those three and Knight are the only players we've bought and sold for a profit under Lerner. Pretty much everyone else gone for free or a nominal fee like Sidwell and Shorey.

Only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are Davies and Luke Young, and even they went for less than we paid.

Yes, I always liked Sorensen.

Except in derbies.

[Percy McCarthy]

True.

[mr-villa]

Has he signed yet and if not will he be going on the US tour tomorrow??

[Toronto Villa]

He'll sign when we are in the US. He played for Chicago Fire initially in MLS and I'll put money on him starting that game with Shay playing the first game in Philadelphia.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Villa have just announced he is in the squad for the USA tour.

[Mark H]

What has happened to Allbrighton - sorry if I missed it but he is not listed in the US squad ??

[Simon Ward]

And no Hutton either!

[Legion]

Injured. I think he has broken his foot.
