Really wouldn't mind picking up a young legit prospect. We could probably keep Brad another year (if he wants) and loan out the new keeper. Lloris is still relatively young if we can keep him for the long haul. A young guy (similar to Pantilimon at City) is something I would aim for to, at least to play cup games.

So long as he is American.
Reupping with Friedel is a good sign that Lloris will be definitely be going nowhere next year. If Lloris was going , likely be more of an open competition for the starting spot vs resigning a 44 yr old where the back up role is a given.

Consummate professional.
Two great ambassadors for the club Ledley and Brad fantastic.
Ergo...Brad is still very much in the mix as our back up keeper. He doesn't have a coaching role, & he hasn't signed a one year contract as an ambassador as far as I can tell. As much as I like the guy & respect his service to the club, he is no longer even league cup quality. It's not a good omen in my opinion.
Remember that time we signed Dave beasant for a season
A guarantee of another man's testicle? Err. I will pass on that thanks. You keep hold of them for now.
Nobody wants the fucker dude-surely you see that?...keep it safe in its little wrinkly bag & don't rub it too fast cos it won't be a genie that pops out the end.
Maybe we can play keep him as someone we can play without taking up a place in the 25 naan squad. Hopefully the BPL computers don't go as far as 42 in the little drop down age selection box thing

Or, perhaps, Levy wants an American involved so we can stay marketable over there. Theres no guarantee we'll sign one this summer...
On a similar note, I'm almost certain we'll sign an american at some point in the next 2 or 3 transfer windows. It'll be built up as a squad thing... but we know the truth...
Considering i posted this expecting the Europa game he played in to be his last, this news comes as somewhat surprisimg.
I think the new playing contract is nothing more than a "cover" contract meaning he will only play in the event of our first or second choice keepers being injured - its all more about the U.S.A. Role, which i wholeheartedly support.

i think we will either be looking at a young English keeper to come in as number 2, or promoting Archer. We need to be clever with the HG rule and those reserve goalie positions in the squad are no brainers to use up the HG count with.

Geezer at work just came up to me and went "your keepers gone".
Cue a few moments of frenzied panic tapping away at my keyboard, followed by laughter from his side of the office.
Shit on his keyboard, its the only response.
