The last bloke who made the move done alright.

Wouldn’t fancy being a keeper at Elland Rd after that move if he gets any game time at Utd.

Not really. They've gone for an experience back up/3rd keeper on a regular basis

Decent pay no doubt so I understand why he'd go there but no good for Wales really.
He'll be an unused back up & will get no game time.

Worked well for Woodman last season at Liverpool.

However, have to agree it is an odd move, sitting on the bench at best from a number one position.

He's 35 years old. Sign a one or two year deal for a minimum 20 grand a week. Maybe more. Tom Heaton is allegedly on £45k.

For someone who's never really been an established #1 anywhere for any great length of time it's a retirement contract. Probably the most he'll have ever earned. He'll never have to work again after it if he's got any sense.

Compare that to having to establish himself as first choice somewhere else for a lot less money plus the odd Wales game and it's an easy choice for him.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Manchester United sign an older number 3 keeper and people say good business, we do the same and some complain. Then again some just complain so it figures.

Signing on fee will certainly make him a millionaire (he is already I’m sure) It’s those signing on fees (spread over a players contract) these days which are the incentive. An example would be the recent transfer of a certain Ethan Galbraith.

It's an "insurance policy" signing. If you can afford it, then why not? Man U's newest and oldest goalkeeper starts for a National team that nearly qualified for the World Cup. Swans #3 ....

The most important job of the 3rd choice keeper is on the training ground working with the players. Often working after normal training has finished on a one to one with forwards and attacking midfielders.

I see your posts (which have been screenshot by an individual on Twitter) has provoked threats to me on X. These have been forwarded to South Wales Police who are currently about to make arrests after an eighteen month continual campaign slagging off my dead mother and many other disgusting posts including referencing brain injuries.

I will forward your work details and your full details to the officer in the case as you are now a witness, we will also advise your employers that you are now involved in a malicious communications inquiry.

We have also been sent ip details of your attacks to this website on another forum, these too will be forwarded.

Consequences.
