The Brad Guzan Depreciation thread.

[Nelly]

I still think if he had a defence in front of him he'd have done a bit better. He definitely helped keep us up for a few seasons and not to forget those bosnich-esque saves at Sunderland in the league cup.

All the best, Guzan.

[mr-villa]

If he goes will he play for them on Saturday?

I seriously doubt 'Boro would put him in the firing line like that in his first outing for them; especially at VP.

Nah, he'll be at their stadium practicing sitting on the bench. He's probably going back to being just a cup keeper

So long butter fingers

Did alright for a couple of seasons, pulled off an absolute world class save against QPR at home when we went on one of those runs to just about do enough to keep us up.
Then he just went shite and turned into a bit of a twat unfortunately.

Yep, when you think of the defence Carson played behind for a season (Mellberg-Laursen-Knight-Bouma) and then some of the car crash back 4s Guzan had to play behind he was certainly unlucky.

A good servant for me but sadly his standards dropped with the club and he's been very poor for last 18 months so best for all parties he moves onto a new challenge.

...is definitely not the message for last season's Guess The Crowd teams!
Recruiting now, see the, 'Coming soon....Championship GTC!' thread and join us again.

Never sure whether it was the defence in front of him that gave him the willies or the other way round last season. whatever happened something went badly wrong. he needs a change and a new start and so do we. But we've had worse in goal.

[brian green]

He was okay at the outset, nothing special but competent and a good club man.  What he became played a big part in our humiliation.  I think he was easily led by the bad lots in the dressing room and that compounded his collapse in performance and confidence.

[Gregorys Boy]

I think some of the stick he has been getting has been unfair.  Overall one of our better performers the last 4 or 5 five years and produced some very good performances during the Lambert years which played a big part in keeping us up.  He has been making too many mistakes in recent seasons and his confidence is gone.  Can understand getting him off the wage bill too. 

I would like to see him stay if things were different.  But given the promise of Bunn and the big plans the new manager has for the new keeper then this would make sense.  The very best of luck to Brad.  I for one am pleased that he has been picked up by a top flight club and hope he can play some role in their bid to stay up.

[Mortimer's Bear]

But given the promise of Bunn

I must have missed that game.

He'll be able to perfect his chewing gum spitting technique this season. The cock.

[PaulWinch again]

He was ok. I don't have a big problem with him. He acted stupidly on one obvious occasion, but that's about it.

Great understudy to Guzan and then Given.

At his best incredibly good especially most of 2012-14 when Lambert set us up for target practice.

Thereafter largely fucking woeful - nail in the coffin was Sherwood coming in and recalling his mate Given. Seemed to give up after that. Sherwood' susbequent recruiting probably assisted in exacerbating his unrpofessionalism
