David James

like others, i'm not too bothered either way

 

we need a keeper asap ! cant go into the season with zaluska as our number 1

 

TBF, there was talk of James going to Sunderland a week or two ago though it died down then it seems to be back again.

We haven't made any move for Coventry keeper according to a paper down there.

 

Aye Sunderland will see him as a short term fix until Gordon fit again ,

 

Mags are in for Campbell as well mind. As are Arsenal still.


As for James, SSN just there- 50/50 really. He is supposedly going to join Sunderland in Portugal for talks but others say he is very interested and impressed in and by Celtic and Lennon. Accoridng to newspapers.

 

Hope he comes. Sunderland are after a few of our targets. Are u Strachan in disguise?

 

nah just that ugly * bruce

 

i'm telling you.....very few of these english clubs spend money on their own player scouts, they wait to see who we are interested in and then try and hijack with higher wage offers with the money saved by not employing scouts

 

Then why have fiorentina just signed him?

 

If we are going to sign a goal keeper i'd want a young guy to be Zaluska's understudy. But an older guy like James for a season or 2 would maybe be good aswell, he could teach Zaluska and Cervi a few things, he would also be a good presence to have. So if he'd take something like 25k a week i'd take him. But that's all, i don't want us to be shelling out big wages on him.

 

I think once he meets Lennon and has a look at the place on a visit he will come. Lennon seems to have been able to sell the club well enough to previous visitors. Hes home tomorrow so we will see then.

 

id take james .. hes still got 1 year or 2 in him be good for back up.. but is that what he wants

 

TBH i think we already have a no.1 in zaluska

 

yeah Zaluska deserves a chance anyway James is a bawbag sign another polish bargain theyve got decent keepers (except fabianski)

 

James would be No.1 if he were at the club i'd imagine. He played well consistantly for Portsmouth last season and i remember a game against Aston Villa where some of his saves were unbelievable. He is unfairly mocked on these forums for past clangers and a really bad time at Liverpool, he's a cracking shot stopper and good at one on ones which may be rather handy for the likes of Loovens and Thompson. May even be a better captain than Scott Brown.

 

rather a young keeper who isnt * like cervi so we have a keeper for the next 3 or 4 years...

 

I'm sorry, but he has never been a class or even top keeper. He does get called calamity james for a reason. his attitude might be top notch, but the wages he would be on ain't.

and turning 40 in a few days, he must be one for the future, surely

would be a waste of wages.

 

How does someone end up holding the record for most EPL appearances and clean sheets if he has never been class or even a top keeper?

 

I dont think Cervi is *, he is a very young man, give the pal a few more seasons, jesus GK's don't reach their potential much before 30. Ill take an American prospect keeper any day of the week of just about any other nationality (save maybe Spain).
