He completely shut out Barca when they played Espanyol.His kicking needs improving though-I once saw one of his goal kicks end up in a throw in for the opposition.

Serious,Ian?

That'd be another talented youngster we've wasted:wallbang:
Yeah his full name is Carlos Idriss Kameni right? He definitely was in Juve's program at some point. I tend to make mental notes of good young keepers...

    The only thing I care about is Glazer taking over Man United, something I hope he does.
    Then you are...[insert Football's favorite term of the week...]
    ...an "enemy of football"...

    I think we owned part of Kameni's contract at one point. I definitely remember him in a Juve shirt...

    Yes, I remember that too, and I said it once, a few months ago. IIRC he was on trial with us or a member of the Primavera.

    Kameni became the youngest ever footballer to win gold at the Olympics following his efforts in the final against Spain.

    Then just 16 years old, he pulled off a series of incredible saves to halt Chile in the semi-finals and then held out the Spanish in the final with another sensational performance in a penalty shootout.

    Now still just 17, he proved to be a valuable asset at Le Havre before being picked up by Italian side Juventus.

    He made his name for the full side in the 2001 Confederations Cup but is unlikely to feature massively in this year's World Cup due to his age.

    His age and talent should ensure he has a lengthy future with Cameroon.

    You've gotta admit, Juve should shot all of there "youth coachs"!! I mean, if you've got the money it doesnt matter, but its a little sad that no people from Turin ever play for Juve (not that there is many people wanting to of course...)

    I dont think so, Howard was very good for his first 6months, it was on cause of Rio's ban that he lost alot of confidence, he isnt a "bad" keeper, just needs his confidence back, he is doing well, 2 clean sheets in 2 games, not that Southampton and Fulham are great like...
