Goalkeepers

It's been something that's been on my mind for a while now, since midway through last season, but I think edwin van der Sar seems to have lost his command of our defence, and his confidence in general seems to be down on what it once was.

If you agree or disagree it still doesn't hide the point that he is getting on a bit, and does need replacing some time soon.

Forgetting funds for a minute, who out there is a worthy successor to VDS?

PIG certainly isn't up to the job and I'd add that their isn't a keeper currently playing in this country who is. Personally Igor Akinfeev has to be the stand out choice.

Everything in this post is incorrect, aside from the fact VDS is getting on a bit & PIG isn't the answer.

De Gea, Lloris or Sirigu would be my choice.

Shea Given- Part ex for rooney

1) Funny this coming after VDS dropped a high profile clanger.

2) http://www.utdforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152231

It will be the Rangers keeper, methinks.

No ta.

The one good thing tabout Saturdays debacle is that it makes Edwins replacement, whoever it is, less of a retrograde step.

if we were in the bargain basement, that gilks at blackpool hasnt looked too bad.

Can't be any worse than Andy Goram. Or Andy Goram.

Grimson.

Gomes - (almost) done deal for next season.

Spurs want Fabio as a part of it.

From the mouth of Dave Ryan a fortnight or so ago anyhow.

Probably horseshit.

Funny that it is coming after a high profile clanger - well not really just means the issue has stayed in mind a bit longer.

Seen a bit of Akinfeev on ESPN who now do the Russian football.

Any notion of Shay Given being our number 1 should go no further - he might save plenty of shots, however in terms of bossing his team he's got to be the worst in the league. I've never known a keeper who has such little organisation that he has to save upwards of 10 shots/game.

I see, 'cos there are a few on here who reckon he's been an absolute liability at club and international level .


Hpe to £#%&! it isn't that Rangers 'keeper, he's an utter, utter @#%&!.

antonin, why don't you point out kuszczak was MOM against Scunthorpe or post a picture of someone scoring against craig gordon. that never wears thin.
