Tomasz Kuszcak has criticised the club for not lowering their asking price for him to allow him to leave Manchester United sooner.
"For the last year, I had the chance to move to many good teams," he said. "I always said that I want to play, I asked for permission to leave. At United, they said they would let me go.
It was a marvellous occasion. Late Spring 2007. Wednesday evening. The pitch was so green. Their
royal blue stood in marked contrast to our bright red. The stadium was sombre, all but for the 3000
man choir in the corner of the Shed End, singing to the man with orange skin and a silver puffa
jacket.
It's rare enough for a player to be touted as man of the match when he finishes on the losing
side but when the margin of defeat is as relatively comfortable as 3-1 suggests, it's arguably
unheard of.
Until yesterday's game at White Hart Lane, Adam Bogdan was really only known outside of Bolton
for being on the wrong end of a clearance by Everton keeper Tim Howard that sailed over him and
into the net.
Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has expressed his astonishment at being overlooked
as the replacement for Edwin van der Sar, suggesting that spending £18 million on David De Gea
last summer was not necessarily the right decision.
Kuszczak, who recently went on loan to Watford to revive his career after starting only 30
Premier League games in over five years at United, hailed the exceptional qualities of van der Sar
and revealed hopes of replacing the Dutchman following his retirement at the end of last
season.
The pressure is on Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas in the UEFA Champions League, not only for
him to try and salvage his own job security, but also to keep England's hopes at crowning a
European winner alive.
It appears that he'll be a bit shorthanded in the first stage of his quest to get the Blues to
the UCL quarterfinals, though.
Tomasz Kuszczak's recent declaration that he is being treated "like a slave" at Manchester
United is certainly a dramatic overstatement but the goalkeeper's situation also warrants
sympathy.
Many have countered that if being a slave is training everyday and picking up a hefty paycheck,
more than a lot of people make in a year, then they would happily accept the hypothetical shackles
the Pole is chained to with Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
Football interviews are something like Goldilocks and the Three Bears: it's pretty lame if
they're toeing the vanilla line of political correctness and coached replies, but it's also not
smart to be completely open with one's candor. Somewhere in the middle is just right. Tomasz
Kuszczak has probably crossed the line a bit, confirmation awaiting upon information about his
salary.
Tomasz Kuszczak has again spoken about his frustration at not being allowed to leave Manchester
United following options to join other clubs on loan.
Towards the end of last season, as United battled to claim that 19th league title, Kuszczak
spoke to the papers about his desire to leave the club and become a #1 elsewhere.

Towards the end of last season, as United battled to claim that 19th league title, Kuszczak

A lot of the talk around the Spurs squad has centred around goalkeepers this week. Firstly,
manager Harry Redknapp underlined the fact that he considers Brad Friedel to be the club's number
one while at the same time, Carlo Cudicini has been trusted with the gloves in the Europa
League.
That has led to transfer talk involving Heurelho Gomes and it's thought that the erratic Brazilian
could be on his way as early as next January.
Tomasz Kuszczak has confirmed that he will be leaving Manchester United summer. After
unsurprisingly failing to displace Edwin Van der Sar as our number one and David De Gea all but
signed as our future number one, the Pole is no longer happy to warm the bench.
Kuszczak has become increasingly petulant as his frustration has grown.

The obituaries being written about Manchester United's OAPs for the last five years are now
finally relevant. Gary Neville and Edwin van der Sar have retired, Paul Scholes might have by the
time you read this article and Ryan Giggs is holding back the development of younger players with
more long-term value to the club.
A confusing weekend for the Manchester newspapers, who, for the first time in some thirty-five
years, had a bit of a conflict as to which club's achievements they should be featuring on their
front page. We particularly enjoyed the Manchester Evening News, which evaded the problem
completely by sticking the Great Manchester Run on the front of their esteemed organ, and dealing
with other relevant matters elsewhere.
Manchester United clinched a record-breaking 19th Premier League crown after securing a 1-1 draw
against Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Wayne Rooney scored the decisive equaliser with 17 minutes left on the clock after Javier
Hernandez was felled by Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson. The draw meant that the Red Devils
moved onto 77 points, seven ahead of Chelsea, and mathematically brings to an end a gruelling
2010/2011 Premier League campaign as far as top spot is concerned.

Warming up, just in case. Van Der Saar denies injury worry - Yahoo! Eurosport Edwin van der Sar has
played down fears he suffered a recurrence of his groin injury during Manchester United's Champions
League win at Chelsea... However, the former Ajax man, United's shoot-out hero in the final against
Chelsea three years ago, insists it is not a serious problem.
Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has insisted that he finds in himself a suitable
replacement for 40 year-old Edwin van der Sar claiming he is good enough to fill in the gloves when
the Dutch finally calls quit.
Van der sar has been recently out with a flu, and the current Manchester United number 1 is
considering his options concerning either retiring or going on for Manchester United.
Tomasz Kuszczak has revealed that he has plans to replace Edwin Van der Sar at the end of the
season as Manchester United's number one.
"I know I have not got the biggest name in the world but, and I don't want this to sound
arrogant, I think I am good enough," he said. "I have talked to the boss a few times and
he said we will see what happens at the end of the season and I know that in the meantime if I get
a chance I have to play well because that is the only way I am going to impress him.
Being left without any certainty about his future isn't something that Machester United's
reserve goalkeeper, Tomasz Kuszczak, plans to keep having in the future especially after pretty
much going into that road for the past five years.
Speaking his mind to the media, Kuszczak stated that he believes at least next season his time
will finally come to carry the reign from United's current number one keeper, 40-years-old Edwin
Van Der Sar, who could probably playing his last season at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson has always been a master at re-building squads over time, knowing the right
moment to let players go and scouting out youngsters with potential and turning them into
super-stars.
But in these days of financial uncertainty, with the Glazer's self-imposed £500million debt
hanging over the club, Ferguson faces a big a job as ever if he is to refresh the squad as well as
balancing the books.
After joining Watford on loan until the end of the season, Tomasz Kuszczak has revealed he hopes
he can get playing time so he can be considered for the Euros.
"I really miss the feeling of a matchday when you're involved," Kuszczak told Watford's
official website. "Where Watford were in the Championship table never crossed my mind.

goalkeeping mistakes compared to his own. Kuszczak is currently on loan to Championship side
Watford...

According to the Express and Star, West Bromwich are the favorites to sign
Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak, who looks set to
leave this summer due to a lack of playing time. Unfortunately there will be tough competition as
teams like Tottenham and Arsenal could be looking to sign goalkeepers.
