I honestly don't understand that fascination with Steve mandanda. Yes he has a quality reputation in France but in the 9 games his played for us he's been average at best. What you also got to remember mandanda yet to learn English and if his was willing to settle in England. Speaking the language surely top of the list. He won't be our goalie next season whatever division. Hennessy kept consecutive clean sheets and will be the number 1 until the end of the season. I'm not a Hennessy fan but can understand why he's picked as he has the statue of a prem goalie also he no longer working with Andy Foodman.

I doubt Cech would've kept any behind that defence!

considering your post, surely this is irony??

Look at the average height of a premier league goalkeeper

Bravo, Valdes have struggled this season. WH Has the build to be a good prem keeper. To the mandanda point he hasn't helped himself with not learning English. Communication on the field is important in football.

What a ridiculous comment.

Mandanda is supposed to be a professional being paid about £35k a week, but has been in the treatment room for 5 months. He has had plenty of spare time, whilst being paid to learn English.

Ex pats show more commitment than him, offload him asap.

what the hell has height got to do with not speaking the language? Hennessey has the height to be a top keeper but not the talent unfortunately. I was just pointing out that your post was written like someone for whom English was a second language yet you slag Mandanda off for not being fluent after 3 months..how do you know he isnt learning English, or have you just made this up??
