We're going to miss steady eddy VDS more than we missed schmeichel

As I said it won't be to the Glazers. Not a £#%&!ing chance they'll be allowing a huge amount being spent on a player in his thirties.

Don't think it's gonna be our choice.

Ferguson will get to try and sign whichever goalkeeper he wants. That's just the way it is. He's highly unlikely to even want to spend daft sums on a GK anyway, since it guarantees £#%&! all.

schmeichel £500k
bosnich £#%&! all wasn't he
carroll £1.5m or something
taibi £4m
howard £3.5 iirc
edwin £2m
foster £1m
lindegaard not much

Julio Cesar for me. I know he's 31, but he's got a good 5 years left.

bebe ffs


anyway i reckon both buffon and cesar are too old we should be looking at a 25 year old who has proved himself
all points to neuer imo

Keepers are shit until their 30s. A GK at 30 has above 7 years left.

You think Neuer has "proved" himself? I don't watch German football so have only seen him in the WC. He looked a bit dodgy. He only got in 'cos of a mix of suicide and injury.

FFS bedders!

Kept his place since though. Adler hasn't been able to get back in.

Adler loves us. What's the asking price there?

he's proved himself to be very capable, one of the best keepers at the WC and he's german so obviously top at being a keeper.

Just thought the Enke reference was a bit tasteless.

True though I suppose.

Wasn't meant to be, was a factor in Neuer getting in along with Adler being injured so I've read.

So the most expensive one was the worst? You missed Ricardo, Andy Goram and Andy Goram off btw. (Rai van der Gouw was one of my favourites, think he cost about £300k)

Aye, sorry. As you say, it seems Neuer was third choice.

Adler then? He's a top red and all.

Never seen him play.

as I said I'd want an experienced keeper.

wouldnt be surprised if we ended up with that keeper from rangers

Hope not, he's a £#%&!ing #@&%! and not a good enough keeper.
