Good goalkepper, don't see how its necessary to rush his retirement.

 

[WonderManager]

He is my number one enemy in FIFA 11 saving my shots like a piece of cake
Glad to see him leave.

Still good,but he is old (understatement of the year),they need a young goalie.
Friedels the wrong side of 40
is there a good side of 40?
they both seem pretty bad to me.

Me to. I was Newcastle and he saved both of my penalties for handballs .

On topic though, he is a very good keeper for his age and i dont know who they replace him with.

They should now go and buy Scott Loach from Watford.

 

[GodCubed]

Whoa whoa everybody, slow down. He didn't say he was going.

It's the time of reckoning, Big Brad. You've saved us before, but you've also been costly this season, you're losing your trademark reliability. Put in the good performances we know you can, and you'll remain a minor Villa legend.

Alan McGregor would be a fantastic signing for Aston Villa, Sure he is no Craig Gordon <3 but he isn't far off that standard.

 

[Mason*]

Agree with Kris . McGregor would be a top signing at Villa and would soon become a fans favourite down south.

Off Topic- McGregor ... then Gordon.
