    Well let's hope he can use his height better than another 'player' in the team - you know who I mean "Can't jump-won't jump".
    And look on the bright - he'll be able to reach the back of the net more quickly - and won't waste the oppositions' time to mount another attack at our goal !..............or are we going to use him as a centre forward ?

    OK - that's the silliness out of the way - I tend to find that tall goalkeepers , at L1 level, are slow to get down to low shots .

    I'm guessing this is the best of his career, but looks ok.

    Bit disappointed with the video to be honest. It showed his stopping ability but that was about it. At 6.9 I got thinking maybe another Gazza but sadly no likeness at all. I wished the makers of the footage had concentrated on his delivery skills as well and ability to hold the ball. I thought it was a very weak and boring promotional video.

    However, that said and done would like to see him between the sticks, even if I don't get the first buzz I got with Gazza before he even made the first team sticks.

    Apart from saving penalties, can he save souls?

    The key question is; "Can he play centre forward?"

    OK grumpygit - if that's the way we're going........... I wonder if Tomas doubts if he will make much difference to our defence - he's only one man - not a men ! ..............
    ( and people doubt that I can be funny )

    Rumours are that he was interested into a move to Vicarage Road but decided on the mother church Priestfield <cheers>
