Surprise move

I'm surprised by Aston Villa's desire to sign Brad Friedel because of his age. He was a good servant to Blackburn and he saved us from defeat numerous times. I watched him live at Pride Park last year and I witnessed him save Derby's penalty kick with Derby 1-0 ahead. The penalty save he made galvanised the team and we went on to win 2-1 with second half goals from Santa Cruz and Bentley.
Getting £2.5million for a 37 year old keeper was good business. He will be missed. "Friedel... Friedel... Friedel...".
