Not sure eighty :ayatollah: Both Carl and Annis are away,and ive just been told in the last hour that he is training with us.
Some papers might be able to back the above up,in the next day or two,or might give one or two people on hols a phone call ;)

Didn't he turn us down before to become second choice at a prem club? (was it west ham)
I dont see the point in signing him.

I don't see the problem with this? He's a very good commanding keeper with experience and is at a prime age too for a keeper.

You don't forget how to catch a ball and don't need lightning pace either. As long as hes still committed and fit, would be a good addition!

33 is young for a goalie :old:

Also let's not forget what happened last season when we had the misfortune of both of our regular keepers injured at the same time.
Oh for someone of Richard Wright's ability and experience then - still that's just Bywater under the bridge now I suppose!!! :lol:

id be happy with him around and competing with our goalies.

one time he the most highly rated goalie. then again so was bywater

No, no, please, no. He's no better than what we have at the moment. And don't believe all this stuff about him not forgetting how to catch a ball. That's just nonsense. If he's lost form and confidence, then forget about him. After all, Franny Jeffers used to be a good, highly rated striker but there's no way on earth I would weant him anywhere near my team. If he was good once, which he was, there's a reason why no top clubs are going for him now

We tried to sign him a few seasons ago and he told us where to go. f**k him, the tw*t.

Cheers SAM :ayatollah: For that updated link mate.

Looks like our new goalkeeping coach may have played a part on getting RW down here to train with CARDIFF.

Glad someone else remembered... I felt old for a moment :lol:

I've never seen the point in running with 3 keepers myself??
