Before I startm I am not claiming to be an ITK, I just get information every so often and like to share it with you all. Believe it or not, I know what I've heard.

Anyway, I've just been told by someone very important in the club that Carlo Cudicini is coming to us, most likely in January to be our number one keeper. However, this will only go through if we can sell Robbo. So far we have interest but nothing concrete, with United sniffing around. So basically, as soon as we can sell Robbo we will buy Cudicini.

Take it or leave it.

rather have Robbo, just watching the Chelsea Vs Westham match and he isn't looking that great. Split one and got caught in no mans land only for a lob to go over the bar.

Could be correct. Cudicini would only leave Chelski for a club where he was #1, and he seems to like it in London. However, I'm a bit concerned that he's been prepared to sit around as #2, sometimes even #3 (when he had that row with Mourinho), at Chelski for so long, because he was on the verge of the Italian national squad when he was playing regularly. It doesn't show great ambition.

However, unless Chelski are about to sign a top-class keeper who's eligible for the Champions League, I don't see why they would sell their highly experienced back-up in January.

As for Robbo, presumably Juande has been watching him like a hawk in training, and I suspect that will influence Ramos' decision on the goalkeeping position as much as Robbo's performance in matches.

By the way guys, I have no idea whether it's we don't want him or he doesn't want us, this is all I know.

Thanks for the info, but could you give us a couple of examples of other stuff your source has passed on to you, so we can get an idea of how accurate his info tends to be?

if we can King back and get another centre half in that would do instead of getting a new keeper

I'd rather stick with Robbo as he's younger and has his best years ahead of him, plus he seems to be picking up lately.

Money needs to spent elsewhere such as a good defensive midfielder and a left winger (people playing well on the left but would still be nice to have a specialist for the position).

cudicini has said numerous times that he wont ever play for another english team.
also why would united want robbo when they have van der sar and foster, robbo wont go anywhere where he isnt 1st choice

He's hardly played in three-and-a-half seasons, and the last interview I read with him he was content earning big bucks for warming the bench and taking flying lessons in his spare time.

Used to be class, but when you're quite happy to sit down for a living you kind of lose what made you great.

We're fine with Robinson I think anyway.

Since the cancer that is Hans Segars has left, Robbo has lost 2 stone and is in marvelous form.

Cudicini is a good keeper, once he has games behind him, but I would rather have Robbo, because like I said, now that Segars has left, Robinson will be back to his world class best.:bowdown:

He told me two days before the Getafe game Jol would be gone, regardless of the result, and that Poyet and Ramos would be coming in.
