But the answer on Stuart Taylor I think is that he had a knee clear out operation I think. probably a key hole one and I saw him out training for the first time in weeks on Friday. He had a heavily bandaged leg and was only doing fairly light work and nothing at all in goal.I would not think he is fit enough to play next week. I still can't for the life of me work out why what seems like a non serious operation happened 6 games from the end of the season!

As for choices there would have been 3.Tobias Johansen who is on loan to Norwegian side Kongsvinger! Gunnar Nielsen who has been on the bench lately as we know and David Giraldo Gonzalez the Columbian. The recent addition is Lorius Karius but I think we can discount him as he is very young even though he has played a couple of reserve team games.

Mancini has already shown that it is Nielsen as the number one so all other options aside that's who we will get. Is he ready /good enough for the premier league? Sorry Gunnar if you read this but no I don't think he is.Decent keeper for sure and quite a good shot stopper , not bad at one to ones but I fear he has that classic weakness on crosses.Massimo the keeper coach has worked quite a lot on crosses so hopefully he has been improving.

One thing you will get from Gunnar though is effort. At the end of last season I think it was he was recovering from a broken bone in his hand and was pushing himself hard on his own outside to get back to fitness.Not that easy on your own but he was working hard.

Whats the Columbian guy like and when did he arrive? Must have totally missed that one!
I guess he'll be the one on the bench for the next game. If Taylor didnt need that operation its a really bad call to let him have it during the season?!
Gunner it is then. Come on Gunner lad!!!! Get us into the Champions League!

The Columbian has been with us for quite a few months now and has played a few reserve games. Came for a months trial I think and must have impressed as he is still here. About 28ish years old and from what I have seen has sharpened up a bit since he arrived.Yes he would be next in line I expect behind Neilsen but if Hart can be got back it will happen.

Wow, he's really putting his neck on the line there isn't he!

I'm thinking about possibly exploring the possibility of maybe marrying Kylie Minogue.

See you at the church.

I no you can pop a finger back in but a shoulder is obv different. Ive heard [highlight]a hip is the worst one you can do[/highlight] though so lets be glad it wasnt that ha

If it was the other way around and City agreed to the nice gesture I would be furious.
