Thinks he owns the place

Sky Sport Italia claim we've had a bid accepted by AS Roma for Doni, and that the player now will consider a contract offer.

Cudicini is the only decent back up goalkeeper in the league.

Given isn't bad either.

I don't think Given will stay happy as a back up goalkeeper for much longer.
Cudicini seems to love it.
 
Doni is alright.

Hopefully we wont need him to play.

I still dont understand why we spend so much cash on fucking keepers.
 
Premiership side Liverpool have reportedly agreed a fee with Roma for goalkeeper Alexander Doni.

Sky Sport 24 makes the claim, adding that it is now up to the Brazilian whether to accept the move or not.

Roma are set to sign a new ‘keeper this summer after Julio Sergio and Doni shared the gloves last term under Claudio Ranieri and Vincenzo Montella respectively.

With the young Coach now gone, Doni doesn’t figure heavily in the thinking of the Eternal City outfit.

This is Roma’s last chance to net significant money for the custodian seeing as his contract expires in 2012.

The Brazilian international joined the Giallorossi in 2005 from Juventude.

Doni became a regular in Rome, but eventually lost his place to Julio Sergio in 2009-10 as a result of injuries and mediocre form.

Alexander Doni - He's back
 
I think Gulacsi's going to be loaned out to get experience. Dont mind Doni, he wont be playing much anyway.

Absolutely

In the past 20 years we have signed, promoted or loaned in about 25 goalkeepers. That's madness!

Cost us about 30 odd million and I reckon about half of them either never played a single game or played in less than 10 games.

Probably only 3 or 4 of them (at a push) could honestly be described as any good
 
Got a not very encouraging response from my Italian football sources about this, basically comparing Roma to the Arse in terms of having two or three not particularly good keepers vying for the no.1 spot.

EDIT: Further comment from same source - "TBF you could do a lot worse for back-up, but be prepared for butter fingers."

"I spoke to the club (Roma) yesterday and they confirmed they are holding talks with Liverpool to reach an agreement regarding the transfer of Doni," Doni's agent, Ovidio Colucci, said.

"Once an agreement is reached betwen the two clubs, we will begin negotiating personal terms with Liverpool.

"Doni would be very happy to join Liverpool and play in the Premier League."

There are probably a few more than that too

How many were any good? Reina certainly, and I would say James and Dudek on the whole too. Westerveld was never amazing but we did win a lot of trophies with him there so he can't have been that bad.

So that's 20 keepers - 1 a year, at the cost of about 15 million - who were largely shit or came and went without a second thought.
