Rumoured Brad Friedel

[5354 204]

swarcher wasnt that bad imo... much better than turnbull+hilario

Given or Freidel would be disastrous, like Schwarzer, both to far over the hill to be number 2 here.

mark was not a failure. his performance against liverpool itself was more than enough to make him a success

[Madmax 9,219]

Whoever it is has to be HG for the simple reason that we cannot waste 2 foreign slots on goalies when one of them is the undisputed first choice while the other is a cup keeper, if that.

Butland and Bond are younger than Courtois, I think we should sign a player around 30 with plenty of experience.

Ruddy then .

I didn't say he was a failure, however I thought he wasn't anywhere near as good as made out (maybe our standard's went down after suffering with Turnbull for so long).

In his prime a brilliant keeper but last season im not sure he offered anything more than Hilario circa 06-11 did (who was a lot better than given credit for) in terms of decent to fill in but struggle with a run of games, and let's be honest, if Hilario performed like Mark did against Sunderland and Leti at home (the two games that derailed our season) he would have got no end of abuse.

Turnbull yes, but like I said to Didier, im not atall convinced the Schwarzer off last season was better than what Hilario gave us circa 2006-2011.

Not that this signing was ever going to happen, but he's announced his retirement at season's end.
