Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini signs a one-year contract extension, tying him to the club until 2012.

Why? He's on quite a big wage and he's well...*****, I reckon and Tottenham should splash out on a young understudy (but good enough to be first team) to Gomes, such as Romero (maybe less expensive player though) or De Gea (not available anymore though). Asenjo then, maybe? But yeah, never really rated him, like Hilario, I don't like him either as he's just collecting his money and not seeking first team football at a club like Blackpool or Norwich who may want him.

Could not disagree more with you here pal. Carlo Cudicini is well under rated and in my opinion he has never had the chance to be a no.1 at a club. He is more consistent then Gomes. I think he is better than Gomes. Consistency is key for a goalkeeper and he always seem to be that.

You what? He was Chelsea's number 1 for a while and was World Class. They then brought in Cech and he hasn't been able to get past him or Gomes. He's getting on now so why would he leave when he's not guaranteed first team football anywhere anyway.

I agree he is consistent, but he is not spectacular or amazing, and I don't like backup keepers who don't seek first team football, when they can. I mean, Matt Gilks, can't really get first team without dropping down a division but I reckon Cudicini could get into some lower half Premier League first teams. And then, if he is really that good, he will get a chance to show everyone how good he is without just sitting on the bench at Spurs.

Was he no.1? Well, still, if he can't get past Gomes that's doesn't show him as a class keeper does it? And if he went to a smaller club then he would probably be guaranteed it, he could make the manager promise. I mean, wouldn't Blackpool be crazy to play Kingson instead? Oh, and I admit, I didn't watch him at Chelsea, but surely he wasn't World Class? People overuse that phrase know, only players like Rooney, Gerrard, Villa, Messi and Ronaldo are World Class, not Modric or Yaya Toure, in my opinion.

Watch some of the videos while he was Chelsea #1. He was World Class.

Who cares about spectacular or amazing when you have consistency? That's the key thing for a keeper, being solid. Just look at Brad Friedel. Sure, Cudicini wouldn't win you many points, but crucially he wouldn't lose you any, unlike Gomes. I really rate Cudicini, seems like a nice bloke and a top keeper. Why do you think he moved to Spurs? So he could get into the first team. Unfortunately they then went out and bought Gomes.

Yes, he was No. 1. He can't get past Gomes because 'Arry really likes Gomes for some reason.

Are you saying Modric and Yaya Toure aren't world class? You're nuts. Both are on a level with Gerrard, and better than him this season.
 
Good deal for both parties. Carlo gets another contract as reward for his loyalty & professionalism, while Spurs get a competent under study. Makes sense to me.
 
Wasn't he eligible for England once?

Definitely one of the most underrated GK's imo.
