Well at least we're getting stuff done early.

What a pointless signing!!! :clap:

I'm not having a go, really I am not, but who would you have realistically liked to have signed for the goalkeeper position.

My choice - Ben Foster.

WHY OH WHY....

GOMES IS INFINATELY BETTER THEN ANYTHING WE HAVE OR HAVE HAD FOR YEARS...

F*CK SAKE

*yes i am shouting

 

[Bemuser]

Never mind, he may turn out to have a really strong period with us. So, let's get behind him as we should with every player, until (unless) he disappoints us :wink:

 

[Snuzzy]

I'm hoping he's there to provide pressure for our number 1, Heurelho Gomes...... I fear this will not be the case though.

Better than Paul Robinson? Erik The Viking? No. Not for me. Sorry.

His concentration span, handling, decision-making and kicking are awful. Shot stopping is excellent, but goalkeeping isn't all about that.

what a great upgrade to the squad - not good enough for relegation threatened villa to fight for him but good enough for us - its going to do Gomes confidence the world of good isnt it - and if gomes is leaving the replacement by freidel is a joke - cant wait for the rest of the summer signings

 

[nidge]

Oh well it's done now. Welcome Brad to our club hopefully he will be able to prove the doubters wrong (myself included.)

 

[faulks]

Manager Harry Redknapp said: "Brad is a top goalkeeper of real quality who has great experience. It is good to have three such experienced top goalkeepers at the Club in Gomes, Carlo and now Brad and it means we have competition for places particularly with the number of games we will hopefully face next year both domestically and in Europe as well."

Meh. I will reserve judgement until I see the team sheet on the first game of the season.

Who said Villa didn't fight? Last chance for a move. Villa obviously going through a rubbish period. He feels like he should and deserve better and has got it. Good luck Brad and I hope you do well for us.

like harry says we could be playing alot of games next year and to keep everyone fit healthy and on form will be some going so big players needed.. he is experienced, im sure will offer reassurance and leadership qualities to dressing room as well.. as for parker i really dont see where people dont want him.. he is an excellenet midfield player and chips in with odd goal too that wilson does not. or jenas. or hara. or bentley!! people tend to look at first 11 and what about sandro. with all eufa games, league cup and league can people honestly expect sandro to play what 50 or 60 games next year and expect the quality of performance like he has been doing. young players need to be brought on not burnt out.. harry has been calling for leadership and personality in dressing room for long time now..and i can see why..

im all for friedel, even more for parker and drogba wud be icing on cake

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Is it any coincidence that just a few short hours after my cryptic we sign him?

You bet your life it is :lol:

Friedel just signed, Cudicini extends contract. Gomes admits to PSV director he wants to go back there.

For once Harry is lying.
