Wikipedia post I just read now: "On 1 May 2010, Manchester United completed the pre-contract agreement to sign Westwood in the summer for a undisclosed fee. It is thought he will replace the aging Edwin Van der Sar and become the clubs long term number one."
Is there any truth to this? I have no citation or outside confirmation (but it's damned exciting, if true).

He could do with a move to the EPL, but there aren't many clubs who obviously need a keeper (other than Arsenal, can't see him going there). Newcastle would be one, if they decided Harper was not good enough, Birmingham another if City don't lend them Joe hart, as has been reported. Other than than, he could be looking at going to an EPL club and sitting on the bench, if that were the case he would be better off staying put. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Get out of it, one mistake in the last campaign and your all over him? Sure Westwood shipped 6 past him against Germany last time around too, and some of them were saves he could/should have saved / atleast done better with. Whats your problem coming on here and sh*tting all over the players? |

Are you serious? 2nd and 4th goals were completely on him. His positioning was woeful! What was he doing on the edge of his box for both?!? Should have been holding his line. The 6th was also bad, a good shot stopper would have got something to it. |

I wouldnt agree but its all about opinions.
I just think Westwood is #1...Given cant be viewed as a long term soloution he is what 38 and Forde isnt far behind...we should be bedding KW in till someone like a Lawlor steps up. I just dont see why he isnt even considered(KW)...when there is talk of Forde being dropped why would you replace him with a sub gk. ------------- Ivan Locke: "I'm not going to turn back.

When Westwood finally gets his chance it won't be long before you are looking for him to be replaced, Locke you are like a broken record at this stage same old drivel and it's boring to read, do you not get a bit bored writing it? You have discussed other players how well they are doing this season who are in the epl yet you have never commented on how well Westwood has done this season not once! Calling your bluff on all these times you've seen him play for Wednesday this season. I have no doubt he is a good GK but he shouldn't be thrown into a game of this importance and there is no way Martin will do it so let's just move on. |

I saw Westwood in Hillsborugh v Boro in February he is in superb form. Pal from Wednesdayite rates him as highly as any keeper that has been at the club. Forde has been superb for the last few years but even Shay wants a game this weekend.  Interesting decision for MON.

Only Boro have conceded less than Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship this season and I don't think Wednesday have a super defense. Those whoscored ratings arent really useful when it comes to comparing goalkeepers. Liverpool were linked with Westwood in Jan. Forde will be very lucky to be Championship keeper next season if Millwall don't pull off an unlikely escape. He has played really well for us but is a liability who will put our already shaky defense under more pressure. |

The goal he conceded was pretty poor mind, the most unconvincing parry of the ball you'll ever see. On the flipside he made a great reactionary save. Mixed afternoon for him it's safe to say it was.

I could just as easily say why am I not surprised you're jumping on a players back just because they haven't executed something to perfection? It wasn't the perfect save, ideally he would have put it out for a corner, but to call it "the most unconvincing parry you'll ever see" is ever so slightly exaggerated. In most cases someone would have been there to clear it away easily, he pushed it wide enough that you wouldn't expect the opposition player to get there first and rifle it into the roof of the net. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Mignolet was ahead of him at Sunderland, plus he had a bout of flu prior to playing Man City a few seasons back and didn't play when he was down to start and Mignolet ended up playing with a broken nose or something along those lines so he royally f**ked up his chance of being Sunderland's number 1.

Amid all the delight with the German victory, and the disappointment of the Poland game, only briefly noticed that Rob Elliot (& not Westwood) was called up for the Poland game to replace Given. What exactly is the craic here then, is the only fella playing every week gone to Ireland's number 5 ? Is there a fallout, has he retired, will he not play for MON, or is it just that MON won't pick him ? Surprised there hasn't been much of a reaction over this, if Trap had pulled a similar stunt, the Trap out lads would have had a field day. As for Given, Longs goal V Germany would never have happened had he (or for that matter Forde) been on goal, neither of them can simply kick the ball as far, or as accurately as Randolph or Westwood. I still think this decision to persist with Given will bite us in the arse, should he return for the playoffs. He was extremely flat footed again for Ozil's disallowed goal, he didn't budge when Muller hit one just wide (low, and to the corner) in the first half, an accident waiting to happen. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

I've said this in numerous threads now over the years posting on YBIG but I've suspected there's been a major fallout dating back from the FA Cup tie with Sunderland where he refused to play with a cold despite the fact Simon Mignolet had a broken cheekbone - It's pretty obvious, KW has not started a single competitive match for either Sunderland (When MON was in charge) or Ireland (Since he took over) since. The fact he played Sheff Wed's last game and played today also proves he wasn't injured over the Int. Period and it was pure spite to not call him up but call up David Forde. It's just made been so obvious there's something happening behind closed doors given all the evidence.

| It is plain as day that O'Neill has a beef with Westwood great professional that O'Neill is. Given will play in the play-offs along with Whelan as O'Neill is a stubborn man. The sight of Given in goal makes me mad but even madder at O'Neill cos he picked him. Our set-up is a sad joke!! |
