Just a message on the keeper situation. I feel Howard has been getting some unfair criticism of late. Our defense has been poor this year, but will definitely get better from here on. However, we should be looking for a new goalie, not because Howard is rubbish but because he is getting on a bit. So here's my serious suggestion how about Vorm? He is never going to get a look in at Spurs and not sure why he went there to be honest. However, I think he is a good keeper. Any thoughts?

{Ed025's Note - i think your right about tim getting a bad press on here mate, but i cant say im a big fan of vorm, but a keeper would be good to keep timmy on his toes, i dont see joel as a serious threat to him myself..

Who would you suggest then Ed? I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Any other realistic possibilities that is! GK is one of the hardest positions to fill and the best ones are already at big clubs! Ideally I would like Begovic but don't see that happening!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - it would be tim krul for me aflm, i know he would cost a fair bit though..

I did think about him. But have felt his form has dipped lately, but maybe that's just because Newcastle have been poor. I do like him as well though to be honest him or Begovic would do me fine. Vorm was just my cheap option!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - we will probably go for vorm the mate. :)

David marshall?

Agree0 Disagree0

John Ruddy, we should never have got rid in the first place.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree about Ruddy should never have sold him! I'm not sure about Marshall haven't seen enough of him to be honest!

Agree0 Disagree0

No way to Vorm. Why go for a keeper who left a club being #1 choice to go to a club to be clearly #2?

Granted he's a good keeper but what on earth was going through his mind when that decision was made.

For that reason I'm out.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree won't go far wrong with Marshall, Ruddy or even Swansea's no 2 goalie Tremmel all decent keepers

If we start looking at a new keeper, one for the future, then that lad at Norwich looks quite handy!

Lukaku talking about Eto'o "In training we have a finishing competition and the one who loses has to do sprints."
Thant explains why he always looks so tired then.

Rom's first touch is shocking for a professional player, so whilst Eto'os probably scored four Rom's still trying to trap a ball. I still love Rom to bits but surely some one touch training would not go amiss.

that's exactly what i've thought for rom. his first touch is awful, why are we not doing training sessions with him firing balls to his feet to teach him to trap the ball? although it sounds simple, you have to work on the simple things before moving onto the technical things, he has finishing in his attributes, along with strength and pace, but working on his first touch will open up his game to make him a more rounded player, not to mention this to help the teams performances when building attacks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - im certain they practice it all the time craig, i think he is thinking whats going to happen next and loses concentration for a split second, it is an area of his game that can be improved and will..

Why oh why do I get involved in these debates? This is defo my last words on Ossie (I hope).
Ed, I agree that he is old and on his last legs. Swan, I agree he is easily knocked off the ball. Anyone else, I agree we should be looking for a replacement. Now this part really is my last comment. he has been a wonderful servant. He is still part of a 25 man squad that is likely to need all of those players at some stage this season. Would I pick Mirrallas every time ahead of him? Of course I would. Do squads get injuries and need cover? Of course they do. Can Ossie still do a job for us against the lower teams. Yes. Is he likely to be too lightweight against Chelsea, Citeh and the other top 5 *ite? Probably. Right now in my humble opinion, we have one world class wide player and he is out injured. Should we be scouting for another? Yes of course. Did we waste money on McGeady? Well yes if his current form is anything to go by. Could McGeady improve? Possibly. We need to wait and see. Just like I said about Eto'o. In previous games he has showed glimpses. Yesterday was his best game by a mile. let's hope that form continues. Football is very emotional as I am sure everyone would agree. We all have opinions. I will leave it at that. COYB

Spot on degsy

From watching Mcgeady play for Ireland he is better in a free roaming role where he can be at both sides of the pitch
