noooooooo dont rate him- think he is about the SAME level as what we already have , if the guy was something special then yes certainly , but really is he???? do we see almunia regularly touted as one of the worlds great keepers??? i think not, only thing going for him is he plays week in week out and is ' dependable' without ever being inspiring or spectacular

You forgot Kirkland off that list, who I think probably has the most potential out of all of them. Just been unlucky with injuries. I dont think Almunia would do a bad job for England. He isnt much better or worse than the keepers you mentioned.

kirkland has always been one of the ones to watch out for me for me since he started at coventry , felt he was let down badly at liverpool big fee no run of games to speak of and then off to wigan- add the injuries an the guy needs more of a chance at a bigger club maybe
