    Just listening to Talk Sport in the car and they mentioned that Barcelona are interested in Vorm !
    Anyone else heard any more about this rumour ?

    Interesting. I'm sure it will interest him if true.
    It will cost them though, he's not long signed a new deal :D

    Contracted til 2016. Is he Dutch no 1 these days? Definitely £15m+ I'd say if they are serious.

    Ill be sorry to see him go but tremmel has proved to be slightly better than him in my book..£10-£15 million would be about right for him....

    Ferenc Plattkó Hungary Goalkeeper 1923&#8211;1930
    Last foreign goalkeeper for FC Barcelona. And given that this is a rumour started by Talkshaite, I'm not believing it untill Swansea confirms a visit from Barca.

    I'd be surprised if this happened. Vorm is the best keeper we've got although Tremmel has done alright. Still think that Tremmel has let in a couple of goals that Vorm would have got.

    thats your opinion kangaroo but from recent posts fans prefer tremmel to vorm because of vorms prone to cock ups on the big stage...tremmel has made the top three in Europe and i agree....A much more level headed keeper and his extra inches are helping....

    Nah. Good keeper but Tremmel's distribution is shocking. The way we play depends on that to some extent. His kicks it out of touch far too much for my liking. Not too much between them in other departments though.

    you don't make the top 3 keeper in Europe if he is not doing something right....Him and Davies has been the most surprise package this season...

    With those stats you need to consider the defence as a whole rather than just Tremmel himself

    True. And I didn't say he wasn't doing something right - we know that he has.

    Actually the stats are based on his save per shot percentage. Maybe the defence has a bit of a say in the quality of shots he has to face, but apart from that it's all about him.

    Remember the olden days where we used to worry about Forest or Derby after our top players? Now it's Arsenal, Spurs, Man city and Barcefuckinglona :D

    I feel it's not such a big deal if he were to go now because I feel that Tremmel is at least as food as Vorm. Tremmel had one bad performance whilst Vorm was out injured, and I feel that's what people are focusing on more than the great displays.
    I like having 2 excellent keepers but realistically both should be commanding to be first choice at the moment. I'm not sure how long we would be able to keep both at the club anyway.

    Tremmel better than Vorm? <laugh><laugh><laugh>
    Vorm would walk straight into the Man Utd and Arsenal sides. Tremmel is a good goalkeeper but not as good as Vorm. Vorm saved us countless times last season. If it wasn't for his saves then who knows what would have happened to us. Especially in the first half of the season.

    I think they are as good each other for different reasons, and hope both stay! Have you considered that tremmel might be in demand also ?

    I hope both stay Jager, however if we had to keep one keeper, then its a no brainer for me, Vorm all the time.

    Hasn't he just been released by Forest too? They should have cashed in when they had the chance, thank God they didn't though.
    Only yesterday I was watching that Pratley goal that Camp so kindly gifted us in the play off semi :D

    And here it is :D
