What about the Sunderland Keeper, Mannone? is that worth a punt?

He's quality mate. Plus at the end of the season he only has one year left on his contract and Sunderland could go down. He wouldn't cost loads.

I'm all for it if we sell Howard. Be bothered having 3 GKs though.

I don't think Howard is as bad as people are making him out to be though.

Just checked with the club mate and they said don't worry you won't need to pay any of the transfer fee or wages

Top keeper him, with him they would be beyond sunk, far too good for them

I said it in the top 4 thread. If we had Southall in his pomp. Or Czech or some one like that we would be worth an extra 10 points or so. As some one said they are hard to come by. Hardly ever see a post match review saying howard was unstoppable. He is good. Just not a top one. If we had we would be closer to 4th. But we'd wanna sort our goal scoring before our keeping.

To be fair mate this is like saying Howard is losing up 3 games a season we might of won and turning a draw into a loss, even yesterday it was only one point because it wasnt going for us in the other end either

JAYTALITY · February 23, 2014

I think over the course of a season an absolute top draw keeper would make the difference in more than three games. I'm not exactly saying Howard costs us three games I'm MRE saying a Southall would gain us 10 more points. As I said Howard is good. Some would say really good. But I believed a top of the top would make us look a lot better.

Fraser Forster would be a good shout in the Summer. He's bound to leave Celtic and if he does i would like it to be for Everton. Top keeper but Celtic would want around 8million I think.

So is he leaving after this season? What are these noises?

that save of the season claim by the commentators was utterly laughable, you would expect the keeper to save that 10/10

Yup, hit him on the chest. Fair to say he was well positioned, but it would've been harder not to save it.

He's improved a lot this season, I think the pressure of having a good second string keeper instead of Mucha has given him focus again.

I agree with most that he has faults but then so does every other keeper in the league.
