Guest gggg Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Gordon is a better player at the minute than Foster, Fosters had one good season in the Premiership and wouldn't get in the England team - Gordons the best British keeper going with years of experience and he's the same age as Foster. Bale's had one half decent season in the Chamionship - no contest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triglett Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=257135 It's started... Why the fuck would a Sunderland fan watch the SPL though? They've paid £9m for a myth. His first test is Keane and Berbatov. We shall see... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale's had one half decent season in the Chamionship - no contest. Gordon has looked very good in Scotland. Barry Ferguson looked world class in Scotland. Even Boumsong looked like a competent defender in Scotland. They've certainly got themselves a good keeper either way, but still paid a daft fortune for a player in the last year of his contract.

It's a bit different for goalkeepers and outfield players making the step up from a lower quality league. There's a much bigger risk with an outfield player imo. I'm confident that Gordon will be an excellent keeper even if they have paid a bit too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Gordon will have a long way to go to prove he's better than Given who, IMO, has proved himself top top class during his time with Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but when you've got 3rd rate strikers at you most games and only have to step up when on NT duty or for 6 games a season its a lot different to facing world class or even just very good EPL players every game. He's a good keeper, i just think the price tag is mental, and he's nowhere near the quality some people are making out. I'd say there are a good 5-6 keepers in the league better than him, but he's young, and he'll get better and probably move on to a bigger club by this time next year if these people hyping him so much are right. I think Arsenal should of went for him, but the price again no one would pay unless you are seriously desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 None of us really know if he's 'a good keeper' and nothing will be certain till he plays a season in the PL. £9m is a fuck load of money for a keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I bet he's got a load of clauses for when they go down. If he's as good as people say he is, then he'll not be there long. Fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloydie Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Question has to be would they have been better off keeping whoever they had and sticking three 3 million pound defenders in front of him? I mean their midfield enforcer is Dwight Yorke? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shit from the off and made lots of errors which people (including myself as i wanted to believe) brushed off as teething problems. When it then dawned on us we've been mugged and the stands stopped shouting 'boom' every time the cunt went near the ball he became even worse as he knew he'd be found out by just about everyone. He even started making Titus Bramble look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
safc Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, from what I've seen of him (not much, tbh) he is better than what we have, but I can't agree that he's one of the top five in the world. He's been playing against SPL strikers his whole career (Other than Internationals for Scotland), and while that doesn't mean he isn't world class, he's still got to face better strikers nearly every week now. £7M upfront (BBC) is unbelieveable for 1 person ( but I can't believe many fees for people just because they can kick a ball (can you tell I've become disillusioned with the game?)) , just because they can throw their body in the way of a moving ball ( ) let alone it rising to £9M. None of us really know if he's 'a good keeper' and nothing will be certain till he plays a season in the PL. £9m is a fuck load of money for a keeper. Basically I agree with this. He will be away at the end of the season anyway once we've gone down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those struggling, which incidentally I think Sunderland will, the key to their survival will be investment in Jan. That might keep you up.
