Howson is now! 0 Posted June 2, 2011 As backup and to challenge and on a free? I would say so. I remember reading somewhere that when he finished his football career he wanted to be in the UFC. Maybe he''ll do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted June 2, 2011 Agreed. A good cheap reliable back-up if we are sticking with Ruddy as No1. However, if we are serious about maintaining a Prem place I''d be tempted to go for somebody better than Ruddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,775 Posted June 2, 2011 Hahnemann is almost the perfect option. Experienced, can still do a job and challenge Ruddy, won''t cost a bomb, and is a good mentor for the youngsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,094 Posted June 2, 2011 MY immediate thought when I heard he''d been released. Definitely worth a punt.Wondering whether Luke would mind us signing another American though ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted June 2, 2011 would prefer westwood myself but wouldn''t complain he seems like he a big character Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted June 2, 2011 For free, and for the experience factor, definitely! Depends what kind of wages he is on I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Might be a non starter actually, just been told he''s likely to join Seattle in the MLS. Shame if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary23 0 Posted June 2, 2011 Would love to sign him but I don''t think he''d want to play second fiddle to Ruddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
