What is he doing here? The lad didn´t get a start in early rounds of carling Cup, why to fuck he was brought here?

[Duff Man]

Most squads have aboot 3 goalies don't they?

[BenR_]

If, god forbid, Reina gets injured at some point, you'll see why the fuck he was brought here. Better safe than sorry.

He's unlucky that we're taking the Carling Cup as seriously as we are, but I suspect that has been made abundantly clear to him before he signed.

There is a good rant about us buying backup goalies in the latest mag. Sorry, can't remember who wrote it though.

[Red Banjo]

If something happened to Pepe, would you want Brad Jones (is he still here?) or one of the kids between the sticks?

Neither would i.

Look at Spurs - Gomes, Cudicini and Friedel. For 1 spot.

To compete we need decent reserves - haven't we been asking for this? And now we are asking why?

[Goffraidh]

For, emm, you know, when, emm, Reina gets, emm, injured or suspended?

[Rafiagra]

Was a strange signing seeing as we have Jones. Plus didn't he refuse our first contract?

Anyone who signs as a reserve keeper is a fucking loser.

Yeah he must feel like such a cunt when he drives home in his 100k BMW to his substantial 5 bedroom spread, top notch model wife waiting to suck his cock all night, plus he's a multi millionaire financially set for life. What a fucking loser.

He's meant to be a footballer.

Anyway, you seem to know alot about his personal circumstances.

Reina doesn't get injured.

Can I see what a £100k BMW looks like please?

We were in for Friedel weren't we, but he probably went to Spurs knowing that unlike Pepe, Gomes is that inconsistent he'd probably get some games, with a better chance of cementing himself as first choice (which he appears to have done).

Cudicini is a strange one though, for a keeper of his quality (or certainly what he had around '03 '04 when he was a regular for the rentboys), he seems strangely content to sit on the bench for a number of years.

I guess the price of having a top quality goalkeeper who is also reliable in terms of consistency and injury record is that you're going to find it harder to convince top quality back-up to come here unless you pay piss-takingly large wages.

Even Chelsea, who have a keeper that while quality also gets injured more frequently, can only boast Hilario and Ross Turnbull as backup.

And Man City, Given left because he wasn't getting games and I couldn't even tell you who their back-up is now.

But sod's law dictates that the second we take the attitude of "Pepe's never injured so let's not bother with any senior back-up because they won't be that good anyway"...well you know what will happen then.

[Randy Marsh]

I get the impression Brad Jones is only still here due to the tragic personal problems with his poor son Lucas. I'm sure I remember reading a few weeks ago that he was pretty seriously ill again with Leukemia. My heart goes out to them.

Even the cash-strapped bitters have 3 keepers, they've signed Hahnemann till the end of the season today.

Sure, go to a showroom but seeing as you're pedantic and lazy here's a link:

BMW 760Li U.S. Pricing: $136,600

And this isn't the most expensive plus its a couple of years old now.

How does that stop him being a footballer? We need a back up keeper, what's the problem?

[Phoenix]

We need a backup and Brad Jones is rubbish. Simple as that

Yea, but why??

[Roy the Rover]

Strange that he didn't start the Carling cup games. He's a perfectly good goalie and I'm sure he would have done a good job in both games.

[Cardie]

It's less a point about signing a back up and more about not playing him.
