The Polish goalkeeper has completed his move to the Falmer Stadium after failing to make the grade at Manchester United.
Signed from West Bromwich Albion after impressing onlookers in a loan deal, much was expected of the 30-year-old at Carrington. His chances to impress, though, were quite limited as Edwin Van Der Sar remained the undisputed first choice in Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s
eyes.
However with the Flying Dutchman on leave, Kuszczak was given an extended run in the team and a final opportunity to make his mark. But with the Old Trafford faithful used to the sublime performances of Van Der Sar, even the Pole’s best efforts weren’t able
to win over his critics and he was relegated to 4th spot in the pecking order with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 arriving last summer.
The Spaniard has gone onto to cement his place in Manchester and was the final nail in the former Uerdingen man’s coffin. Having reiterated that he was on the verge of parting ways with the club, Kuszczak held up his side of the bargain and has now completed
a switch to championship side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brighton-c38685 & Hove Albion F.C.
Although he has had much game time to prove his abilities, Seagulls boss Gus Poyet believed that the player could enjoy success at the helm given his desire to showcase his talents.
"There were clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and abroad interested in Tomasz, but it says a lot for the ambition of this club that he wanted to sign for Brighton.”
"We had been tracking his progress for some time and he will provide real competition to both Casper Ankergren and Peter Brezovan for the goalkeeper's jersey this coming season. That can only be a good thing for the team moving forward,” the tactician was
quoted as saying.
As goalkeepers usually reach their peak in their thirties, Kuszczak still has a lot of time on his hand to make a favourable impression at his new club and can perhaps secure his spot in the Polish National Team, who have a formidable pool of talent to
choose from including the likes of Wojciech Szczęsny and Łukasz Fabiański.
