I'm not sure one game at the World Cup makes him a must-have.

There must be a reason he doesn't have a club. Apparently it was touch and go as to which of Mexico's keepers got to be first choice in the World Cup. And I think the commentator was suggesting beforehand he's known for being erratic on crosses etc.

Turned down Liverpool and Inter Milan amongst others a few years ago to be paid a bloody fortune and remain in Mexico but sure he might like to meet Gully

Just been told he has 6 fingers? Apparently Fulham wanted to sign him but would have meant he had an illegal glove sizes. Don't know if this is a wind up or not?

Highly unlikely but would be good to have Ulloa and Ochoa in the same side!!

Other than the save from Neymar's header the rest of the saves were straight at him. It would have been harder to get out of the way than save some of those. I think the fact that Ajaccio have just been relegated says more about him than one game in the world cup.

He is not really a catcher, came out and punched an awful lot of balls. Whilst I am not adverse to this style of goalkeeping, it is normally frowned upon in English football so our scouts may not be keen.

We have one of those already.

The reason he 'doesn't have a club' is that he's let his contract run down because his (French) team have been relegated, and he's linked with a move to Inter or Marseille...

the same guy who wants to play in the champions league?

dont think so

he kept them in both games so far - he's way better than us & wouldnt come to us in a million years - think some of you need to rein-in your expectations, especially if you dont think he's any good

It's gotta be a better reason to sign a keeper than looking good with 2 pickled eggs and a courgette stuffed down yer pants?
