Former Tottenham goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt has questioned the signing of Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel.
Friedel will challenge Heurelho Gomes as Spurs No1.
But Thorstvedt told talkSPORT: "I didn't quite understand the Brad Friedel signing. If you need a third goalie and he's free and available then fair enough, but he's over 40? It would be a strange thing for Tottenham to buy a new No.1 who is already over 40.
"I would definitely go with Gomes [as first choice]. I'm a big fan of his, he does so many great things. Last season was not his best - he made some big mistakes, glaring mistakes - and you want a goalie who doesn't make many mistakes and that the defence can trust.
"But he also does some incredible things. He's still a top, top goalkeeper and I think the defenders still have lots of faith in him."
