Tottenham expect to announce the signing of Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
Harry Redknapp has offered the 40-year-old a two-year contract at White Hart Lane and the American is set to replace the error-prone Heurelho Gomes as the club’s No 1 for next season.

Being from the Midlands, a lot of my friends are either Villa or Blues fans. The Villa fans think Friedel is coming to us, and the Blues fans think Foster is....Friedel is generally considered past his best by Villa fans and I'm not sure that this is not just a short term fix. He would be commanding at the back though and give our defense some confidence, something they are lacking.

Is this the same Brad Fridel that when he was 29 Gomes age he was in the LFC reserves?? and making howlers each week??
Who remembers Edwin Van Der Saar when he was Gomes age 29??? Wasn't he dropped and sent on a free to Fulham????????????
Gomes is a top class keeper getting rid of him for Friedel would be a huge mistake.

Friedal is not what Spurs need, too old and we already have an aging keeper in Cudicini. Hope this is paper talk, unless we are getting another young keeper and rid of Gomes also.

Actually if he returns to PSV he may well go back to Ajax - well at least once a season anyway.

It all depends on how well he perform in the cup games for PSV. Will he push for first choice ahead of former City goal keeper Andreas Isaksson? I am not sure.
