You must be watching a different game son. Simmo is generally a poor keeper, I cant fink of any aspect of goalkeeping he is actually good at. Ben foster on the other hand could be Man Utd's number 1 next year, enough said I fink. By the way, what is the point of this thread considering there is absolutly bob hope of us ever getting foster Sorry for posting a 'pointless' thread, can you give me and the other 20 people who replied to the thread a list of topics you might find interesting for us to discuss? Thanks in advance Its pointless because hes never goin to come to us on loan. Its only evoked opinion because people have developed into a 'is a better than sorro' argument. u probly fink he will be coming to us on loan tho

Zigic was never going to come either (or Fred). Remind me, how many pages is the Zigic thread up to now?
Dozens of people contributed to both those 'pointless' threads.

Go back and read the thread clever dick. I agreed with YOU that there was NO chance of him coming. But if someone wants to discuss that and any related issues, good for them.
I didn't contribute AT ALL to the Zigic/Fred threads and I never start threads about transfer speculation because it all does my head in.
I contribute to whatever subject I wish and I would urge you to do the same rather than jumping onto ones you have no interest in purely to take the piss.

Any chance of the lottery numbers for Saturday? I saw in a paper that Foster might possibly be loaned out, he's a quality keeper and an ex-Stokie, and merely asked the question to fellow Stokies, if you have a problem with that then please feel free to leave the thread to people who want to contribute to it

I'm sure it will. Personally i think he'd do a good job at right back. mind you, I've heard Hull are keen!

No thanks, very overrated keeper. Only slightly better than Simmo and I really mean that. You must be watching a different game son. Simmo is generally a poor keeper, I cant fink of any aspect of goalkeeping he is actually good at. Are you being serious? Really? Simmo has his faults, but as he is clearly a better shot-stopper than Sorensen, I'd say that we're in complete disagreement over your claim that he is, in plainer terms, shit.

I thought you were comparing him to ben foster. I think ben foster is on a different planet to simmo. if you was comparing him to sorenson then id proberbly agree with you on the shot stopping front just based on everton, villa and utd away. IMO simmo is a poor keeper, i sh1t myself everytime he gets a passback cos his kicking is shocking, he struggles to get it ovwer the halfway line, and his ability to claim crosses remids me of a poor mans herelio gomez

but ben foster isn't as good as casillas My thoughts exactly foster is a young talent but casillas is exceptional. The comparison between Ben and Iker is not being made. The point is age and ability. English football seems hell-bent on bringing in so-called proven foreign players that push out English talent. Even youth keepers from Oz are appearing for the likes of Liverpool and they are simply not up to scratch. If the keepers are good enough, they should play, like Casillas. If they require further development then delay their introduction to the first team, gradually introducing them like Ben Foster and putting them on loan. But don't make an assumption about their ability based on age, because doing so does them and English football an injustice.

I believe that the top clubs are a little reluctant to 'gamble' on youthful keepers because it has backfired in the past. Many have burst onto the scene with big reputations and early promise, but have had major confidence problems after 'dodgy' spells (which all keepers get). Most of them have fought their way back to higher levels later in their careers which rather re-inforces the view that there is no substitute for experience.
Foster could turn out to be an absolute gem. Then again, he could be added to the long list of promising young keepers that never really fulfilled their potential.
It is all yet to be proved, but that should not prevent him from getting his chance. I rather doubt it will be at United though as I expect them to replace VDS with another big money signing.

But i'm also entitled to think that maybe you've had a few shandy's too many. Simmo has been a great keeper for us, and one i will be very sad to see leave the club if he goes in the summer.

It will be an emotional moment, but if you read what I said it does say he is overall a poor keeper. I stand by that comment aswell. Last season he was a liability, terrible on crosses and just as bad at kicking. decent shot stopper tho. why do you fink pulis made a new keeper a priority in the summer?

His first 2-3 seasons in particular, he was absolutely outstanding.
