    Stockdale would be a brilliant acquisition at this level.

    Amos was highly thought of and all. No doubt one mistake by Stockdale and the meffs we have as fans will be on his back.

    Even if we signed Casillas or Buffon some of our meffs would still get on their backs after they made a mistake.
    Which they would, all keepers do.


    As I have said before Amos is a decent keeper and will improve with time. I honestly wouldn't be concerned should he remain our number one.

    Who'd be a keeper anyway?


    Mentalists, every last one of ''em.

    if it was just one mistake there wouldnt be a problem or even two, anybody thinking amos has only made one mistake have clearly only been to 1 game...

    I know Amos hasn't made just one mistake and I have been to more than one game.

    Bit condescending for you DJ?

    I could also say anyone who wants to constantly criticise his performances clearly has very little understanding of football and in particular goalkeeping.

    It's all about opinions.

    well you know he has made more then one mistake so you werent the target audience of my point...
    plenty of people saying any new keeper would get jumped on after 1 mistake simply isnt true, amos is causing concern for a number of shaky performances not just one.
    not many people are even saying hes a bad keeper, just that promotion teams are built on a solid base and if we are serious about promotion we need somebody more reliable and safe, and i agree.

    I said pissypants because you were being a pissypants making sarcastic posts about everything I say, going down the boring 'no one lets me have an opinion' route rather than actually debating. It's ironic that you try to attribute me with forcing opinions on you, when it's you that's having a fit every time I give my opinion and explain it.

    Given is paying the price for Guzan having a good season. But its just not Given who sits on the bench. Villa sit Darren Bent on the bench (when fit) and they wonder why they are in the bottom 3. Villa are a club in a mess who look like they are going down. Paul Lambert to join the SACK race before Jan, maybe ?

    Interesting and certainly a Brucie bonus if it had happened.


    I think that goes without saying. But maybe a club with PL relegation worries will take him in Jan now.

    He did until after the euros play for ROI.. Now retired from International football.

    Two interesting but different view points on our GK situation. I think SB has looked at what we have IF Ben Amos was to get injured. Hence wednesdays developments.

    Shay Given IMO is still in the top 10 GK playing in the UK and most of europe. ffs. get a grip folks. Lambert must have issues with Given.

    The later yes. I shall never change my views on Campbell. FFS, there were some city fans @ Birmingham wanting us to re-sign Marlon King ffs. Now that is UNBELIEVEABLE.


    SHAY WOULD BE THE BEST BY FAR IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP JOHN. Now that is a GIVEN..!! sorry lol.

    Very true. Lol.


    Oh without a doubt. Yes Amos has made mistake that have cost us goals. But Amos is yet to cost us a game which sadly his critic on here and elsewhere forget.

    Inappropriate use of the word 'fit', I know people with Epilepsy, using the word 'fit' as in having a 'fit' in a sentence is in very poor taste and pretty rank to be honest. You used the word 'Pissypants' because it's a juvenile word to use, if the cap fits. I made a sarcastic reference about Given not being good enough, but I didn't reference your name directly in the quote, did I? So, that perhaps could have been generalised. The fact you have taken it personally suggests you need to be a little less sensitive <ok>.

    I did quote you in the 'Do keep up' thread, as the fact we've looked at, or been linked with 4 keepers this week, suggests that SB is not convinced by Amos either. I wish Amos well, I really do, I hope he goes on to achieve full international honours - he needs more experience at a club with nothing at risk, like promotion. That's it.

    The response of a complete and utter cretin - well done.<ok> if it wasn't how I felt, I wouldn't have put it would I?. It's got nothing to do with 'PC' route, it's about showing respect, and it's the way I was brought up.

    I like the posts of Glennos and the moddy think you two need to calm down a bit though. My opinion is that Amos is OK but the vibes I'm getting without actually knowing is that Jakupovic is the issue, not good enough for us? Stockdale is much better than either than them, great signing UTT

    If we're going to have a whole thread of bickering, can we have a little effort put into at least trying to make it entertaining. Thanks. <ok>
