Don't forget that if Pochettino is signed he's likely to bring his GK Coach from Soton. I doubt we will need 3 GK coaches so Brad and/ or Tony Parks may leave.

If Poochie does come then Brad may stay and work with the academy, he's doing his qualifications and that recent PL experience is incredibly valuable when coaching the kids.

Levy may also force Brad upon whoever comes in.

When you get past 40 it should be like for the under 21's where you don't take up a squad place. Good news though, Brad is a credit to the game. I can still see us maybe getting another keeper anyway.

Even though Brad has signed a new contract, with him doing coaching badges (I think) and being Club Ambassador, he will be a very busy person so wouldn't be surprised if go for a back-up GK with Brad 3rd choice...

Then again wouldn't mind even if Brad was 2nd choice, just a thought

Brad's great, and I'm glad he's taking on a broader role at the club.

He's not up to being our second choice anymore though, sadly. We need a new no 2.

I love Brads professionalism and think he could be a valuable member of the back room staff. I hope this contract means he's taking a backseat from playing though.

I hope a percentage of his wage-packet finds its way to his pilates teacher.

Whoever it is must be a bloody miracle worker.

Good news IMO, was unsure whether we should renew his contract but after his performance away to Dnipro I was more than convinced, top professional too.
