Jimbo 175 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Newcastle are interested in signing Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni, according to reports in Spain. It is understood that the Magpies sent scouts to see Kameni in action against Numancia at the weekend. The Cameroon international did not have the best of afternoons as Numancia prevailed in a 4-3 thriller, but he remains highly regarded. Espanyol have stressed that it is normal to have scouts at their matches, while they have also denied receiving any official offers for Kameni. Kameni's contract expires next summer and there has been speculation for many months that his next destination could be an English club. Tottenham were believed to be keen on bringing in the 24-year-old over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Given is the only consistently good keeper we have had in living memory. Wed have to be talking Buffon money before i would consider selling him. Spurs have proved what sort of keeper £8mil can buy you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common knowledge that Africa and South America produce very average shot stopping keepers, whom have more than a slight tendency to punch rather than catch. Would it be racist if a Brazilian man said "English players tend to have less flair"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Africans are Africans mate, so is some one not English if they were born here but the colour of their skin was black? So is it because of were they come from they will never win such an event? I dont think so, it might be because they dont pay much attention to sports such as football and sprinting were other countries might do.

So is it the same with football? Saying African goalkeepers are shit because they are African in my eyes is racist, you cant judge all goalkeepers on the ability of one. And because of were they come from. England hasn't exactly produced world class goalkeepers of late so is it fair to say that English people are shit in goal because they are English?

David Kelly 1260 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Kemeni is actually a very good keeper. I've seen him play a few times and he's always been class. I admit I did fall that 'all african keepers are poor' at first and I think it's a fair comment because every other one I've seen in the past have been (and I'm talking internationals here so it's fair to assume that if their best are poor then the rest will be worse) but this guy is a different kettle of fish.

acrossthepond 878 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can I add my voice to those who say Kameni is good? Best of a bad lot as far as African keepers go, although Ekramy of Egypt is a pretty class act as well but not in the same league. I don't like the sound of us scouting for keepers though, Shay should remain first choice for years to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
