    With the signing of Moriera and Brendan saying in previous weeks he was after a first choice and second choice GK, which one do you think Moriera is 1 or 2? First or second?

    Moriera only made 150 appearances in 12 years at Benfica, which are second choice figures really. I suppose will all depend on if we are able to get anybody else in. Do you think we'll try to do so or will settle for Moriera?

    I'm sure he will do a job for us though, Brendan must see something in him.

    I have no idea to be honest! I'd imagine if we were paying for him, he'd be our number one?

    Well in that 12 years he probably was number 2, but became number 1 as time went on, that 150 games is no way a number two figure all the way through

    Look on wiki , it does show that he was injured for two seasons, and that there was a lot of competition for the goalie when he came back, plus for the first two years he didn't get a game, but he was only 17

    Ya thats true....You have to take into consideration that he has been there for 12 years and is only 29. Thats when keepers start to get to their best. Like good wine I suppose, all though, im not a wine drinker :)

    We shall wait and see. It's going to be odd not having De Vries's name read out first on a Saturday. So reliable.
    He's been the Swans keeper for the most part of my time supporting the Swans.

    Think this is a great signing and will be number 1 as if we get Stockdale i can imagine he will only be on loan so he will be number 2

    Only Brendan will know, too early to say in my book.

    I get the feeling that Moriera will be the #1 & only new keeper coming .

    Moriera is going to be our number one and we'll pick up a loanee or maybe a young keeper for our number two.

    Stockdale..surely needed as a Number One.
    I'd push for Readings Federeci if not. This is the PREMIER league we're now in.

    I agree - we need someone like Stockdale. Moriera would be the back-up goalie.

    Manuel Almunia in talks with an unnamed club... would he be worth paying 20kpw for? I know he flaps a little, but I rate the guy. He's been Arsenals no1 at times, and that's no mean feat.
