Iker Casillas

Would be a great signing imo. While Joe is a great keepe he isnt the best at crosses or kicking his shot stopping isnt in question but i do think he makes a hell of alot of mistakes.

For me Joe is too safe and needs a better number 2 challenging him both for us and england.
 
I really think he would find the English game a lot more aggressive than he is used to in Spain (corners and free kicks) - look at de gayers first season

If that's the case then I'd be worried. Why would he need competition in order for him to work as hard as he can? That's not very professional me thinks. Maybe letting Pants start a game or two would be a wake-up call for Joe.
Oh, and if Iker came here, Joe wouldn't have a better nr.2 breathing down his neck... he'd be nr.2.
 
I just wished we gave Pants a go before making this decision. Wasnt it reported we convinced him to stay by giving him 1st team reps because he wanted to move elsewhere? Richard Wright is still on the books even though he's really just part of the English contingent of players needed for a team. I'm not against this move, just the timing.
 
Casillas has been great in his career, but you have to question why he's been benched by two managers now. Has he lost something? With Maureen, it was probably heavily political, but what about Ancelotti? He isn't a political manager but rates the other goalkeeper more. Casillas is also much shorter than Hart so could also struggle with corners over here, where it's often a war zone in the box.

Are you someone who is a fan of skirts and has a poor grasp of grammar?

Because you mustn't have ever seen Costel Pantilimon play if you think he's useless. He's spot-on, for me.
 
I'm not sure if the last few Goalkeeping coaches have not helped Joe's form, not making excuses but the Italian guy (I think he was Italian!) and now a Spanish guy (who fair enough was at Madrid) surely has not helped?
When he was at Birmingham under David Watson he was supurb?
