Is it the time for Ustari to be our GK?

I was thinking of that since Cor match, El Pato proved it yet again in el superclasico last sunday, today while checking news I read good stuff about Ustari..

BUENOS AIRES, March 29 (Reuters) - Argentina under-20 internationals Oscar Ustari and Sergio Aguero played pivotal roles to help Independiente salvage a 1-1 draw at Colon on Wednesday.

Striker Aguero, compared by many in Argentina to Barcelona hit-man Lionel Messi, headed Independiente's equaliser while goalkeeper Ustari kept them in the game with some superb second-half saves.

In the second-half, Ustari, 19, blocked German Denis when he was clean through on goal and did well to block a shot from Diego Chitzoff.

Also there's an article about him on Ole's edition today, the problem is I dont trust Franco who's our 2nd option after El Pato!! I think we are having a real GK trouble

less than 70 days to the WC

Ustari is the smart option but Pekerman is not sure how he is going to handle the WC pressure.

So Pekerman will go with El Pato as #1, Lux as # 2 and Franco as # 3 (And there in we will fail)

Not sure if he's ready to be #1 yet, but he could well find himself ahead of Lux as the third keeper. I still think Pekerman will stick with his favoured three.

Argentina really are in big trouble if they can't find another # 1 goalkeeper than El Pato.

today i watched game with croatia again. you know, i will be teriffied when i see el pato in first 11 in game with ivory coast. i remember he wasn't so bad in national team earlier, he has just had problems with long shots. but he's not very good goalie anyway. maybe ustari is worth trying? or leo franco? i think pekerman efinetely should try them both in friendlies before world cup. lux had good olympics 2004 but he was very unsure in confederations cup 2005.

franco or ustari as our number one.

peker's worried that ustari might not handle the pressure?

he should worry that pato can't handle it. world cup year and pato can't catch a ball.
