Brad Guzan

[fadedhour]

I think we ought to start looking at other keepers, even if only as backup for now. I hope we take a look at Brad Guzan - he's been excellent for Villa this season. Maybe if they go down..?

He's a decent keeper, but I don't think he's better than Howard. And he won't sign as back-up.

 

[Goat]

No more Yanks, they lack mental toughness.

But he was a back-up of Given.

Rather have Brad Friedel.

 

[toffeejack]

rather have mignolet or that young mccarthy from reading

I see Hilario is still on the bench to Chelsea, easiest job in world football?

No thanks.

He's a bit worse than Howard.

Butland the 'The One'.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

Ali Al-Habsi or Jack Butland

We shouldn't be buying a backup for Howard - we should be buying a 'keeper who is aiming to be his replacement.

Not because I think Howard is terrible, but because he needs proper competition; not just sub-standard cover in case of injury.

Jack Butland

Przemslaw Tyton for me. Solid young and affordable.

Was. Now the starter. Finally getting regular football, he isn't going to leave there unless he's assured another starting role. Which he won't be here.
