Damn Niemi is a aging keeper nowadays.
Times have changed - reflexes get more and more important for keepers. And Niemi is at this age where he is losing them.
I just saw the match between Juve and Parma which ended a 1-1 draw . Both Buffon and Frey showed such reflex saves there which made me drool - as much as I have seen of Niemi he will never be capable of such saves . And the strieks that Buffon and Frey saved were great. I still dont believe that Frey would be a good propsect for us , because I dont believe a french keepre who comes from Italy can succed in the Premiership , but without his extraordinary reflexes on that day Parma would have been trashed by Juve .
