    Great signing and am delighted to have him for another couple of years as he has become an important part of the defence and has made some great saves to help us fight our way up into mid table.
    Also it keeps funds available for the summer to buy players that will add value to the existing squad and not purely a replacement.

    Not bad for a free transfer!

    Out of interest, where would people put him compared to other teams' keepers this season?

    Arsenal - Szczesny
    Aston Villa - Guzan
    Chelsea - Cech
    Everton - Howard
    Fulham - Schwarzer
    Liverpool - Reina
    Man City - Hart
    Man Utd - De Gea
    Newcastle - Krul
    Norwich - Bunn
    QPR - Cesar
    Reading - Federici
    SAINTS - Boruc
    Stoke - Begovic
    Sunderland - Mignolet
    Swansea - Vorm
    Tottenham - Lloris
    West Brom - Foster
    West Ham - Jääskeläinen
    Wigan - Al-Habsi

    I honestly think he's better than most of them. It's been a pretty poor season for keepers, what with De Gea, Cech and Hart all being pretty mediocre. I actually think the teams near the bottom have had the best performances from their keepers - Boruc, Mignolet, Guzan and Cesar have all been excellent.

    Ones highlighted I think have had a better season than Boruc.

    I'd say in reply to who you highlighted that I think he is better than Schwarzer and Krul.

    I would say Boruc is better than Guzan, too.

    Guzan has been outstanding this season. Without comparing them directly, Guzan has done far more for his team, & that's taking nothing away from AB.

    I would say slightly-better-than average in the Premier League right now. Or not quite as good as Niemi.

    But I think he can still take his game up a notch.

    Guzan's had plenty of chances to show his quality with all the shots Villa have had against them! Ask Chelsea...

    I find the watch thing hilarious!

    Cesar has been good for QPR, lots of fine saves.

    They all say ten past ten just like the one in the screen adverts at St Mary's.

    Incidentally did anyone else notice that the clock behind the director's box had disappeared on Saturday?

    I always look up to the screen to check the game time when there is a break in play but it always has a bloody advert so I got used to looking at the clock.

    I was scuppered on Saturday and had to keep digging in my pocket for my watch.

    It's great advertising; the first thing anyone looks for now is the watch. Mind you, no one noticing the watch could possibly afford said watch, but still.

    Next time you're hiding in the bushes outside his front door, tell him we love him.

    You think Hart has had a better season than Boruc? Hart has been mediocre at best this season. Great news about Artur.

    Absolutely delighted with this, now we have 2 very capable senior Keepers and a couple of prospects for the long term future, that's the Number 1 jersey sorted now.
