Why the f*ck would we be buying a stopgap while Sirchesney matures a bit more for anyway? Are we planning on winning f*ck all until Shizzlemanizzle is old enough to play for us??
Anyone else watch the Holland v Mexico match last night? That Dutch keeper was class and was a giant. Buy him.
Schwarzer is a god, definately consistantly better than any of the keepers we have at the moment, and extremely good one on one too, which will help us as we play a high line and get caught out more often than we should
he is extremely reliable, and as an Aussie myself, he is the one player I know will perform well (if we didn't have him, we wouldn't have made it out of the group stage at the recent Asian Cup, let alone to extra time of the final), and has been a huge reason for our recent relative success
having said that, there's no chance of him joining us, he signed a new contract with Fulham after the summer
