how on earth have u come to the conclusion that it was Parks that chose to play Friedel over Lloris? especially as it's well known that AVB tends to bed some players in slowly.When it comes to our keepers Gomes started out great. Parks influence was negative.
For some reason Brad was used longer than he should have after signing Lloris. Then Lloris had bad form and neg headlines last season.
IMO getting rid of the old boys network is key since we spent more on a training ground than Swansea did on their stadium. What is the point in millions in facilities if a coach thinks Brad is a better bet than the French captain between the sticks?
