Look no further than Watfords keeper last night is my advice.
He is top quality.

Business is business. United wouldn't give a second thought to a petty niggle like that.

I do not agree that we need A new keeper, we need 2.
If that Keeper, and I use the term Keeper loosely, starts another game I will quite simply spend the match on the concourse, my heart would not take it.

I have been saying for ages that we should go after Kuszazck or Ashdown but after watching the game last night I am not so sure that Gus would see Kuszazck as a player who plays the Gus way. What I am fairly sure of after last night is that Ankergren will be the one kept as No 2 and that the others will be released/ sold. Mannone has done well on loan to Hull and would prefer him to Almunia what about Liverpool No 3 Brad Jones.

Ashdown has been a nearly man at Portsmouth for years - he's only in the side now because they sold Henderson.
Lewis seems to have gone right off the boil - Posh fans not impressed by him.
Mannone, Kuszczak, Camp would all be good signings with Brez as understudy.

I thought this thread was going to be about a new chant suggestion for Saturday. It is a mouthful but can be made to just about fit the tune...

Carlo Cudicini.
Hardly plays for Spurs, would have two years with us as No. 1
Knows Gus.

Back up to Friedel who is 40 years old played in every cup game this season for Spurs but didn't look too convincing against Chelsea. With Gomez said to be going back to Holland in summer cant Spurs letting him go and when they do he will be too old as he is 39 in September.

Dream on! Al Habsi is pure quality, far too good for Wigan, let alone the championship

If I had to pick one player who is likely to be both available and affordable then Cudicini would be the one for me.
Certainly has two years left in him, good shot stopper, good selection between punching and catching crosses, premier league distribution having played in "footballing" sides, and has the wealth of experience that will inspire confidence from players in front of him.
Interesting to see the dichotomy between posters on here as to which of the current keepers will be retained. I will hold fire on Gonzalez assuming he is going to play on Saturday and a judgement made but listening on the radio (and setting aside his positioning on the first goal and how much it did or didn't swerve) his distribution sounded awful and I recall the occassions he played for the DS the same comments were made. Ankergren to me is just the better of the two we have seen the most of but there really is very little between them. Nothing between them as shot stoppers - Brezovan more likely to catch a cross than Anks is a plus for him - neither can punch consistently - Ankergren lost confidence in himself and lost his place but both make more mistakes than you would expect from a top drawer keeper. For me it could come down to contracts and how much they want because either is adequate as cover but not good enough as number one. I would expect to keep one but I wouldn't be surprised if they all went

Young Gerkin of Bristol City is keeping David James out of the side, either would suit me

And it's all gone quiet..
Kuszczak and Loach are both quality.

Five reserve goalkeepers in the Premier League who have the ability to be first choice
http://hereisthecity.com/2012/03/20/five-reserve-goalkeepers-in-the-premier-league-who-have-the-abil/
Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, Wolves, and Sunderland goalkeepers feature on our list.
Alexander Doni
A goalkeeper who is good enough to win the Copa America is good enough for the Premier League, fact. Alexander Doni was signed by Liverpool in July as cover for Pepe Reina. Sadly for the Brazilian, Reina is one of the league's most consistent goalkeepers, and is rarely injured, so he is yet to make a competitive first team start. Doni was signed from Roma for £1.5 million, where he made 148 appearances. The lowest point of his career would be conceding seven as Roma were crushed by Manchester United in 2007, but later that summer, was his highest point, helping Brazil win the Copa America, making a crucial save in a semi-final penalty shoot-out against Uruguay
David Stockdale
David Stockdale may be an England international, but his Euro 2012 chances are being done no good sitting on the bench at Craven Cottage. He went on loan to Ipswich Town earlier this season where he made 18 appearances but was recalled after Mark Schwarzer's injury. He made eight appearances over the festive period, keeping two clean sheets, but is back warming the bench now Schwarzer has returned. If he bides his time a little further, Stockdale will be the club's number one. He is 26 and Schwarzer is 39, so his time will come, it will just require some more patience on his part, and he must continue to seize the opportunities whenever they arrive.
Heurelho Gomes
The second Brazilian international goalkeeper in our list, Heurelho Gomes certainly has the ability to be first choice at Tottenham, he was for three seasons after signing in 2008. He has the capability to pull off amazing reflex saves, but can also be prone to the odd moment of madness. Harry Redknapp lost patience with him after one too many last season, and signed the effervescent Brad Friedel to play in goal for the club, and it very much looks like he will be off in the summer. Nevertheless he remains a talented goalkeeper who is capable of being a number one choice for another Premier League club.
Dorus de Vries
Dorus de Vries is a Swansea hero who left the club last summer to try his luck at Wolves. He left in part thanks to the arrival of Dutch international Michel Vorm, but his fortune at Molineux has not been much greater, second in the pecking order behind the impressive Wayne Hennessey. He spent four seasons at Swansea, making 178 appearances in the football league, and after helping the Swans win promotion through the play-offs, few can argue he deserves his shot in the Premier League. Sadly for him, given Wolves' desperate form at present, he could be heading straight back to the Championship if the side are relegated, and he will not have been able to do anything to avoid it.
Craig Gordon
29-year-old Craig Gordon is expected to leave Sunderland this summer after an injury-hit past two seasons. He was first choice at the Black Cats, but his injuries prompted the club to take chances on Simon Mignolet and Keiran Westwood, and he now finds himself third choice. As a Scotland international, he will be well aware of his need to get back playing regularly, and Martin O'Neill has admitted the club has an 'embarrassment of riches' in goal, and will not stand in Gordon's way as he tries to resurrect his career. Whether that will be in England, or back north of the border, will be an issue for the player to consider in the summer.

Kenny is Neil Warnock's top priority signing for Leeds.

Kuszczak or Speroni . I don't see both of them signing so we would need to sign a decent understudy.
