Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cuducini has been transferred to Tottenham Hotspurs in a £1million deal. The move has been revealed in an exclusive from the Daily Mail and will shock Chelsea fans. Carlo is considered a legend by the Stamford Bridge faithful and for him to move to one of our most intense rivals will be considered painfully for a long time to come.
But we are being selfish of course. Carlo has given us superb service during his time at the club, hardly a ripple of complaint since Cech took over the mantle and has made just 25 league starts in the last five seasons. We cannot blame him for agreeing to a move…BUT WHY Spurs Carlo?!!!
Although Cuducini is now 35, the £1million fee seems ridiculously low for a keeper of his calibre and must surely be a gesture on behalf of the club to allow Spurs to pay him a salary that he deserves.
Not so long ago we could rightfully boast of having the two best goalkeepers in the Premier League. Yes, logically Carlo is a bit rusty at the moment but a decent run of matches will no doubt bring about the lightening reflexes and sharpness that we know he possesses.What this means for current Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes remains to be seen but more importantly, as far as we are concerned, what does this mean for us if Cech gets injured?
Hilario has been third choice keeper and we might be encouraged by the ability of Rhys Taylor and Niclas Heimann. Nevertheless, the thought of plunging one of these youngsters into a Champions League match against, say, Inter Milan should Hilario also get injured doesn’t warm the cockles. This is either a bold statement from the club in terms of a new trust in youth or a calculated risk until the summer.
Cudicini´s contract ended this summer.
Carlo, you have always been a gent and a superb goalkeeper. We wish you all the best (BUT WHY did it have to be Spurs?!).

Could be all rollocks...
Even though its the Mail this one has an air about it.
Possibly this type of air
or possibly not...

"It is born out of hypocrisy and fundamental insecurity. There have been two kids on the block for the past 12 years. Suddenly, there is a third and that one is threatening to be more successful than the others and they don’t like it." P Kenyon.

Interesting that Spurs are NOT playing Gomes tonight. Did Gomes play in the first leg?

Hmmmmmm...
Then again, at 4-1 up maybe Harry thought he could afford to give his 2nd keeper a game.....?

Looks ominous then.
Just two keepers - and we know that Harry doesn´t trust Gomes that much.

CARLO CUDICINI FOR SPURS
Chelsea goalkeeper will sign at White Hart Lane today
CLAUDIO CUDICINI - going
By ROB BEASLEY, 24/01/2009
CHELSEA goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is set to sign for Tottenham today.
The Italian is due for talks at Spurs to discuss a switch from Stamford Bridge. The long-serving keeper, 35, is in the last six months of a lucrative Chelsea contract, with the Blues ready to reward his loyalty by granting him a free transfer to their London rivals.
Cudicini, 35, joined Chelsea in 1999 from Italian village side Castel Di Sangro and soon established himself as one of the top keepers in the Premier League. But when the Blues signed Petr Cech in 2004 he lost his first-team place.
Henrique Hilario, 33, will now become Cech’s understudy. Redknapp has been looking for cover for Heurelho Gomes after a nightmare start to his Premier League career.
