I feel sorry for Mucha.

Howard hasn't been on top form all season (despite a few awesome saves) and he was at least deserving of a few starts.

I hope he gets the move he wants.

to be fair, he clearly didn't do his homework if he thought he was going to sign for us and get many minutes other than the Carling Cup.
 
obviously he isnt good enough. otherwise why hasnt he been picked ?
especially taking into account that that for 90% of his matches tim howard has been total pants.
he had 3 saves to make on saturday and wasnt even close to any of them.

id actually go as far as to say howard is equaly our worst performer this year along with heitinga and arteta.

Based on the world cup...he was one of the better keepers IMO. And Moyes does have his faves.

But the lad sounds alright. He's been open about coming to the club, saying he jumped at the chance. Now he's finding it panning out differently than he thought it would ie being able to fight Howard for his place, which he hasnt been able to do even though Moyes said he'd give Howard a run for his money, so he's wanting to know if he can play. If not, he'll move on.

Nice of him to open and honest, even saying he knows he wasnt promised anything. But its hard for keepers especially if, like him, you've waited a long time to be number 1 at your old club then making a move to another to try and take the next step in your career.
 

He is actually no worse than Tim, id play him for the Chelsea game
 
He looked quality in the WC. I reckon he's a better shot stopper than Howard.

However last time I checked he didn't speak English.



Anyway, I think he deserves a chance in goal. A few games on the bench would show Timmy he's not invulnerable, and let's face it, it's not been his best season. Mucha's 4 years younger than Howard too, which is worth thinking about.

All I'm saying is that he's too good to be on the bench, and he deserves a shot before he moves on. That would be a shame.

This. AGAIN YOU SPEAK MY LANGUAGE. I think Howards an amazing shot stopper though, but he's not the greatest keeper overall

I think his strengths lie in communication and how he commands his defenders. Like all good keepers, he's authoritative.

His problem for me is inconsistency. Sometimes he makes awesome saves, but others he'll almost panic and flail at it. A lot of times this season I've thought "he really should have done better there".
 

"On the other hand, I don't even know whether Legia would want me now that they have three high-quality goalkeepers."

Says a lot about his confidence in his own ability.

Let's face it - he was brought in as a free number two for a year and that's all.

True but moyes got a bargin with this one. By moyes own admission he's a quality number 2 who can challenge Howard for competition. We haven't had that for over a decade to be fair...and under moyes he's always had fillers as back up for about a season while getting rid of youngsters...ruddy, turner, wessels, Nash, I don't think Howard had much to worry about.
