looks like Cavalieri is going due to personal reasons and whilst i think James is overrated its better than paying for some kid who will never get a game or some shitebag like Dida.
Would think he would want first team but he nearly joined Tottenham (where he would be backup) and Stoke(50/50 whether he would start) so surely would be worth a go, bags of experience, a top guy to have in the squad by all accounts and would help fill the English quota.
