Yes, but at Championship level Green is a very, very good goalkeeper.

Safri again is capable of passing well, tackling effectively (although his technique is appalling) and scoring the odd 35-yard screamer. I think the reluctance of other Prem teams to come in for him owes more to the problem of the African Nations Cup and his injury record rather than deficiencies as a player.

And we would never, ever have won the First Division in 2003-4 without Greeno.

        Green, Hucks, Safri, Drury, Davenport would get in virtually all Championship teams IMO (NCFC) - DefConOne, Nov 6, 21:11:52
