Sorensen Speaks Of Villa Future

Will begin by saying although this has probably been Tommys best season to date , he is still prone to errors and blunders in tight games, somethingwhich sticks that mourinho said last weekend about Petr Cech was that a good goalkeeper was worth possibly 12-15 points extra over the season. Just look at the saves made by Cech at Portsmouth last week and by Van de Sar against red scouse and you realise what top goalkeeping is , got both clubs 3 points when 1 was just as likely Tommy doesnt have any competition for his place either taylor is not good enough and will never be long term number 1 what we need to take us to the next level is a top drawer keeper easier said then done i know, but perhaps an attempt to unsettle Niemi at fulham, otherwise think our neighbours down the road at wolverhampton have 2 possibles Murray who has all the attributes for a top keeper also a slight plump into the unknown here but has the attributes for possibly being the best keeper for england in years, currently on loan at stockport where he has just kept a league record 9th clean sheet in a row, is owned by wolves 6ft 7ins and 17 years old one wayne hennessey , wolves fans speak very highly of him and think with him as back up they would be willing to let murray go Bosnich love him or hate him was phenomenol for us and got us points and through cup games when a lesser keeper wouldnt have thats what a top drawer keeper would do

Geordie They say all great teams have a strong spine down the middle if you take the chelsea blueprint Cech, Terry, Lampard, drogba a quality, strong, rarely injured leadership type player right down the spine Starts with the goalkeeper we have carew as one part of the spine and although he hasnt quite shown it yet i still think petrov will be quality and is taking the time that some players need to adjust to a different style of play A goalkeeper in the summer for me is a must Buffon will not come altho we can dream , carson might be work try to unsettle if he stays as 2nd choice at the scouse

His kicking is poor aswell, makes me nervous when he gets a pass back. John Gregory summed him up the best for me, 'Tom is to pretty for a premiership keeper'. When you think about it, you know what he is saying. Gone are the days when you see keepers like Bosnich that will come for every single ball and get battered in the process. I say we go and get Gi Gi Buffon from 'the old lady'.

i made this point the other day on the defending problem blog (cant remember the title) and voth made the same comment.i still say robert green would be a good choice, he's jut been at poor teams. regarding tommy's comment about fitness, the new bodymoor will help, most of the injuries are probably prolonged or bought back on by training on a farm! add into that this new 'miracle pool' that is being installed there and we should soon be a very fit and young squad. i favour bringing in a strong, young keeper now rather than having to blood someone new further down the line which will slow the process of randy and mon's inevitable world domination (insert evil laugh here)

Its up to Mon to find the right keeper. You have to trust in him, if we dont get another stopper its because we cant improve the position at the time. But please Martin, no more co co the clown. In hind sight our young keeper who is going out on loan would have been a better bet, if only for the long run.

too right glen, i remember that day vividly. i got home from work and put skysports on as it was the day the results of the italian match fixing scam. instead what greeted me was the news about 'the letter'. if there was one thing i would thank dol for its that he lost himself his job and effectivley made doug show everyone what cards he was holding regarding the takeover. a week after, no dol and the news of randy. as they say, 7 days is a long time in football.

it is pretty interesting that he mentioned that we couldn't get a masseur. It was suggested ealier in the year that sorenson and melberg were the players that went to the media complaining about doug ellis.

There's few better keepers in the premiership right now than our Tommy. He's up there with the best of them, and has enjoyed a more than decent season. Agree and understand that supporters are split on him, but in my estimation there are not too many more consistent or reliable out there.

I agree with col8 when he was out injured I couldn't wait to see him back between the sticks. We looked even frailer without him at the back. Not the greatest keeper but the best we have.

Whichever way we look at it, I dont think that replacing Tommy as our number one is a priority. Getting a capable, promising back up keeper is though another matter.
