For more news on Howard.

FINALLY! Congrats to Timmy and the best of luck to him at Man United.

As for the MetroStars... yeah they're pretty much screwed right now. They wanted to get Cannon but San Jose asked for Ricardo Clark in exchange. :rolleyes:

The next time you see Eddie Gaven in goal... it might be for real. :crazyboy:

is he 3rd US keeper....?? us is developer of qulity keepers:hump: but i'm sad with the US politics board.......always war:( :o

The rank of US keepers is kinda screwed up, but I'd say it's soemthing like this:

1. Brad Friedel (Blackburn Rovers FC)
2. Kasey Keller (Tottenham Hotspur FC)
3. Tim Howard (MetroStars)
4. Adin Brown (New Endland)
5. Nick Rimando (DC United)

A year from now..

1. Timmeh
2. Brad Friedel
3. Kasey Keller

He still has a LONG way before he catches Brad Friedel, Brad may be in the top 5 in the world.

Once the Metrostars get Eddie Pope and Jolley back they will be fine.

Nick Rimando sucks.

I'd say:

1. Brad Friedel (Blackburn Rovers FC)
2. Kasey Keller (Tottenham Hotspur FC)
3. Tim Howard (MetroStars)
4. Adin Brown (New Endland)
5. Joe Cannon (Out of contract -- NY/NJ soon?)
6. Nick Rimando (DC United)

During the european season (until now)
1. Tim Howard
2. Adin Brown/Nick Rimando
3. Nick Rimando/Adin Brown

(now, i'd say)
1. Adin Brown
2. Nick Rimando
3. Zach Thornton? (Chicago Fire)

We're pretty stocked in the GK department

Rimando might be good(though i dont think so), he gives up the softest effing goals just about every week. Including this week.

For anyone who hasen't seen Zach Thornton, i'll just say look at the ball in his hands, that's a big guy....

He does look well built, like a rugby player/professional wrestler I must say, the size of those hands, he will squeeze that ball.
