Delighted for him. He is a good keeper.. was always going to improve with games. Hope he gets a good club.
Tomasz Kuszczak could quit Manchester United
- Thread starter Kelvin
- Start date
Did I care?
No, I wanted to know how he was playing in his first game after such a long break. He had a good save before Southampton's penalty and conceded a Kuszczak-esque goal. That's all. He doesn't have future at United and I don't like him that much to follow him at Watford.
not sure if serious.
MOTM in Watford- Derby game. Fans' rating on SSN : 9,3. Hope he makes it to thr Euros.
He's got another 9.3 rating after Watford drew 0-0 with Coventry. Made a string of impressive saves according to United's website:

Loftus Road!!!
I didn't notice that.I know many won't care but since joining Watford Kuszczak has played 10 games, 8 times picked to be their MOTM. For last game versus Cardiff fans' average rating was 9,8 / 10.
do we have a buy-back option
just joking, but Im very happy for him.

I'm glad to hear that. I'm happy for him too.
yup...good to hear.
PIG was always a great backup keeper. We just didn't have the time or patience needed to allow him to reach his potential. With less stress, he'll do great. Kind of similar to a Green.
Good to hear, I never rated him as a great GK, but he is top lad.
Too good for the Championship
Delighted to hear he's doing well, hope he goes on to have a good career.
Brilliant news, delighted he's doing well.

good luck.

Finally. We've held up his career for too long. Good luck to him wherever he ends up. He's a very good keeper and i'm sure he will prove that elsewhere.
Was inevitable that he would go. It's a shame that he couldn't ever become more than backup, but that's the way it is I guess. I wish him the best in the future wherever he goes. Hopefully he'll be able to get some first team football.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
All the best, K. Understudy goalkeeper is the most thankless job..
We knew he was going to leave on a free at the end of the season.
Very good #2. Didnt get a chance after VDS left.. a bit harsh on him.. but probably the right one.
He'll get a good club.. Best wishes Koosh.

Sunderland could do worse than go for him!
You know it's bad when you have United fans on facebook saying PIG is better than De Gea
Gotta be windups surelyYou know it's bad when you have United fans on facebook saying PIG is better than De Gea
Sunderland let a keeper far, far better than PIG leave on a free this summer. He'll probably go to Wolves or someone...
Almunia is better than your PIG for god's sake. I still remember him getting MoM in some league cup tie when he was fecking shocking - he had the honesty to look embarrassed.You know it's bad when you have United fans on facebook saying PIG is better than De Gea
I'm sorry. I don't rate PIG highly.. But Almunia was terrible before being dropped. He got released too right?
Almunia is a much better goalkeeper than PIG imo.
PIG was a solid number 2 for years but sadly will be remembered by Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime for an atrocious game away to Blackburn at the end of 10/11
I have to say one thing I never saw PIG as was solid. Good shot stopper, but bloody hell his positioning was abysmal, likewise was his presence in the penalty area - control of defence, crosses etc. He is basically a poor mans Shay Given. Nothing wrong with that and he will have a decent career, but not with a top club, or even with a top 10-12 club IMO. As I say, he will probably go somewhere like Wolves or maybe even Watford permenantly, as it looks like they'll be after a goalkeeper soon.
Almunia basically wins on default. Tomasz has mostly been a nr. 2. He pretty much only has the one season under his belt. Almunia had a few consecutive seasons but I wouldn't call him definitely a better goalkeeper. When Almunia started playing for Arsenal he was the same age as PIG is now. His previous experience was similar. In a couple of seasons it will be easier to judge.
As far as backup keepers go he was solid. We've had our fair share of clowns in goal but he wasn't one of them. When he was drafted in to the side I never thought 'oh feck' and that was the general impression I got from other fans. I even recall on here probably about 18-24 months ago that there were many that thought he deserved a shot at no.1 keeper after VDS retired. I only remember him startin to get a hard time towards the end of last season and after a few retarded things he said this season. Playing backup keeper can't be easy when you're good enough and young enough to make a name elsewhere. I think he deserves a bit more respect.
I can remember people suggesting that very idea - albeit I was in the newbs at the time - and I did personally disagree with the sentiment and most people posting did, from what I remember anyway. Granted, there were a few who said he deserved a go, but that was mainly because of his quiet loyalty more than his ability.
As I say, he's not a goalkeeper I've ever rated even from his West Brom days, so I was disappointed when we signed him and always winced a little at seeing him in the team. Now he's gone I'll wish him all the best of course, but as I said, my honest assessment would be that he's a bottom PL to top Championship goalkeeper.

Agree with the last line tbf but still think he did a decent job here.
He's not PL standard. Almunia is but not top 4.
You don't half talk some shite
Best of luck to him.
The difference is that Almunia was your starter for a period of time whereas PIG was always meant to be a backup.
why turn this into a kuszczak v almunia discussion?
kuszczak was a good back up to vds. that's all. he did his job fine imo. unfortunately the fans will remember him for the blackburn game where he was abysmal.
he did well at watford last time around, surely should at least gets himself a deal at a championship club, or even maybe a lower table premiership team.
good luck and all the best PIG.
