We should either get somebody who is better than Grant or nobody at all (I'd say Grant is better just by a hair), obviously Eric Steele gets to see Roos everyday at training so we really don't know his ability fully but I'd rather have him over Forde from what I have seen.

He could be a popular player but if he wastes time at the city ground he might need to be escorted off the pitch .

​You've Taunus to shreds with that. I must Endeavour to Focus more until I can Meteor standards in Futura.

Nasty piece of work. Went out his way to grab Ibe by the throat at the ipro last season.

Yep he was right ****. And time wasting as well.

Wouldn't let me edit the other comment... :ph34r:

He's a decent keeper. Usually starts for Ireland ahead of Shay Given and Kieran Westwood. Would add some competition for Grant in that position, if Grant continues his current form into next season then Forde will be a much better choice. If he can keep Shay Given out of starting for Ireland, who is a much better keeper than Grant then clearly he can't be that bad. 

We only have Roos as back up currently, McClaren doesn't seem to trust him as sufficient back up and has brought in loans before when Grant has been injured. Grant's bad form might have even happened due to not having any real competition so lost concentration in training. Having 2 decent keepers competing can only be a good thing.

Playing for Ireland really doesn't mean a massive amount, being an 'average Championship player' will get you plenty of caps.

Shay Given hasn't been a regular at Villa since the 2011/12 season and is 39 (even for a keeper that's still getting on a bit) - it makes sense that a player playing every game for his club would get in ahead of him.

Purely as backup he might be an option, nothing more.

Kieren westwood is a decent keeper, so if he's beating him to the international jersey then thats pretty good.
