Sorry Dave... The answer is still a Barm, and I still think Pantillimon is a better all-round keeper.
It's all about opinions.
Stop wumming. A barm is one thing, Pants is another entirely. There is a reason that two top class managers haven 't picked him most of the time.
There's also a reason why one of the top class managers allegedly wanted to sell Joe at the end of last season, and why the other is allegedly looking to sell him at the end of this. I guess we'll find out what MP thinks of him over the summer.
If he wasn't English and it wasn't a World Cup year, he probably wouldn't have got back in the first team. Pants did no wrong. The media got their England keeper back in. And yes, I do think MP bowed to media pressure to pick Joe rather than Pants. In any case; we'll get more for him as a first choice than we would if he was a bench warmer.
