Is David James the man to join Manchester City in emergency loan deal?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on April 26, 2010 | 11 Comments
Before I begin, this really hasn’t been mooted anywhere but now that Manchester City have written to the FA asking for permission to bring in a keeper on an emergency loan deal, I really think this could happen.
Portsmouth keeper David James used to play for Manchester City and there is no denying he is still a good goalkeeper at the grand age of 39. With 3 massive games coming up for City, they obviously need a solid, reliable keeper to play in their remaining games and I think James is the man.
Manchester City would have no problem throwing Pompey a few quid for James and there is no doubt the south coast club could do with a few more pound coins. James spent 2 years at Eastlands and I for one feel he could do a job for City in this all important run-in.
The only thing that may prevent the move is Portsmouth’s FA Cup final which takes place a week after the Premier League campaign finishes.
I really am keen to hear what you have to say on this. Comments below please.

Plausible, City signed a relatively unknown South American goalkeeper called David González Giraldo in January. He has a full Columbian cap, why don’t they give him a try?

Jesus, just get someone half decent between the posts! It’s too risky leavin Nielsen on his own. Look what happened Foster at United this season, was supposed to be the next England keeper and was a disaster when he got his minutes on the pitch. Way too risky!

As soon as Shay Given went down injured, that was my first thought.
I’m a pompey supporter and yes we could do with the money BUT David will have to think long and hard about this.
FA Cup Final or (Hard To Say This) top flight football for the next couple of years???
Final word……..
