  3. Very happy with this. young English backup keeper is­ exactly what we needed. Couple more signings and I­ really will like our squad. preferably young signing­ again. A young creative mid I would like and since­ zhirkov appears to be coming we only need a young top­ top class striker. African cup of nations coming this­ season so keeping hold of Belletti for a holding­ midfield role may be worth while.

    To the guy talking­ about Cudicini, we let him go for free cause he was­ such a good servent to us. It was a good thing for the­ club to do and he and us all thought he would get more­ 1st team action at spurs

  5. He was useless at Boro and cost us games with his­ laughable g'keeping, good riddance.

    We­ couldn't hit a cows @#$% with a banjo in front of­ goal and with him at the other end, no wonder we went­ down, no enough scored and too many­ conceded.

    Don't know why you let Cudacini go, he­ was a class 'keeper. Boro should have gone for him­ and stayed up.

    Good luck Chelsea next year, if he ever­ gets to play a game

  7. he is just a back up keeper! i bet we will eventually­ get a big signing! i hope Pato comes or someone of the­ like! Come to think of it...we dont need any extra­ players our team is great as it is!

  8. why the **** did they sell" cudicini on a free­ transfer in a first place he way great goalkeeper­ couldve at least made some money out of him.
