Pretty much in agreement with everything you just said TSC. Jens, deservedly so, got benched and stays benched for his best 3rd grade schoolgirl impression and is out in January. I like Almunia alot but I don't think he's the long term answer and Fabianski won't be ready for at least another year or two (or 5). I'm not sure who is all out there for the poaching so I couldn't even wager a guess.

I really don't want to see Gilberto go. He's an excellent leader and sets a perfect example for all the young guns on how to be a pro. I'm hoping he stays around for another campaign or two, but I can't blame him if he wants to leave so he can get more PT. He has certainly earned that right.
