Dinho lad

Why is this coming out now?

usefull squad player. that's all.

Has he given up or what?

Well, to be honest.....Bramble never looks that bothered when he drops a clanger. Have you made a post about him as well? No, but when there's a post about Bramble that I don't agree with, I will. I was just disagreeing with a comment in the thread and all this has lead from it! I think we'll leave it there, then.

He made a mistake yeasterday and against that team from Estonia. Even Shay Given had some bad spells where he was making errors. It just happens.

Wasn't too happy either at what you said about his attitude, mate.

I posted that stupid smilie because that's what that post deserved, tbh. So are you saying that no average keeper would have saved that? No. But that means f*** all. How? Read the last 12-14 posts on here, and have a f*cking word with yourself man. Every goalkeeper makes a good save from time to time. I'm not judging Harper's ability on those saves. I've seen enough of him to say that he's a good keeper, definitly for a back-up at least.

I think with a bit of time Kuyt will become a better player and will score more. But I'm glad we got Martins instead. I don't think Kuyt would do as well as Martins has done with our poor service.

You still going to ignore the saves he made? He's a goalkeeper. He's meant to make saves. None of them were exactly top-class. I thought the one he touched onto the bar was quality. A goalkeeper coming out to narrow the angle deflecting a shot onto the bar. That was basic elementary goalkeeping. A League Two keeper could do that. Mark Crossley made about 8 genuine top-class saves against us for Fulham a couple of years back. Does this make him a great keeper? Eh? Did I say Harper is a great keeper?

What about Henderson, FFS?!!

I think on some of them he was! like etoo, Nesta and Xavi etc

Rooney better than Henry? Johnson better than Martins? Yes to both. Rooney I rate very highly as already the most complete striker. He's got skill, pace, strength and a football brain, whereas with all the others, good as they are, you can identify some weakness. Doesn't Henry have all of those plus more? Is Rooney a better goalscorer than Henry? Faster? More consistent? That's why I think people are over rating Rooney. Yeah he's a great talent, but he's still got a bit to go to match the likes of Henry.

In general.

We need a 3rd goalkeeper. 2 is not enough.

Agree. This would keep couple extra players happier because they'd know that they've got a chance of playing.

who the heck is Mccartney?!

Johnson.

Michael Owen? narrowly misses out im afraid. Better than all of your strikers.

Here you go. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/south_africa/squad/newsid_1900000/1900944.stm
