Why, that's just about two full teams of keepers! I don't think we've been linked with Tim Wiese yet, but there's plenty of time yet. :grin:

Juande Ramos is expected to wait until the end of the season before appointing a coach to work with his goalkeepers at Tottenham.
Perry Suckling from Spurs' academy has been working with Paul Robinson and Radek Cerny on a day-to-day basis since Hans Segers left the club, with head coach Ramos on the lookout for the right man to appoint.
Segers left following the departure of Martin Jol as boss in October and while Ramos has changed the training methods of his squad, a coach for his goalkeepers remains an unsolved problem.
Robinson and Cerny have been guilty of high-profile errors since Ramos' appointment, with Spurs linked with a host of goalkeepers for next season.
Assistant boss Gus Poyet revealed last week that Espanyol stopper Carlos Kameni was on the club's radar, and there have been reports from Spain that the Cameroon international has set his sights on a move to White Hart Lane.
Ramos has told his goalkeepers they are like outfield players in the squad and will be dropped if they do not perform.
Robinson is Ramos' current choice ahead of the UEFA Cup clash against PSV Eindhoven, with the first leg at White Hart Lane on Thursday.
"It's a massive game and one all players want to play in," said Robinson. "I'm sure we surprised a few people by winning the Carling Cup this season and there is no reason why we can't do the same in the UEFA Cup."
Spurs are hopeful of skipper Ledley King being fit to face the Dutch champions, while Jonathan Woodgate could return after picking up an ankle sprain in the Carling Cup final.

Yeah, also saw that (on TEAMtalk). Seems to be a bit quote-lite re: the actual headline though!

Apparently when Cech was in hospital, he heard all the players were getting blackberrys, and he didn't want to be left out.

Juande has replaced Jol and Poyet has replaced Hughton, which many people see as the best move the club has made, not forgetting Alvarez and Dr Escribano and his baby food. However, the club also sacked Hans Segars and said that they were on the lookout for a goalkeeping coach. What has Comolli done? I haven't seen any evidence to suggest he has been searching for one. I know we have Perry Suckling who was the youth coach now but he wasn't seen as the long-term solution.

I saw the final on tv again last night and Robinson just didn't set his wall properly for their goal, he also committed the same problem against Slavia Prague. Obviously there is no-one that seems to be guiding him properly as no keeper in the modern game should be making this type of fundamental error. I for one am worried.
It was so sweet to see King lift that cup again last night!!!

what the fuck has this got to do with comolli? Ramos is choosing the goalkeeper goach, presumably in conjunction with whoever will be first choice next season.

Another cheap dig at Comolli though, well done.

I thought PJ was still on the books in some sort of GK capacity ?

wayne hennesey is doing well for wales and wolves. lets face it, he does get plenty of practice.

whoever our next keeper is he needs to be an imposing figure. someone who scares the shit out of oppo strikers.

If Commoli wants someone moved on , he will withhold the tools they need to do the job .

He is hardly going to get a goalkeeping coach in who might improve Robinson and jeopardise his plans to replace him .

maybe we've uncovered a really important point in buying GK's. Where possible, especailly buying GK's who are young and have only had great success at one club, buy the GK and his coach as a pair. Amelia + his coach
