The 26-year-old feels his future lies in the Italian capital, telling Il Messaggero: "I want to stay.
It's not all up to me, obviously. I want it to happen, and I know Roma and Arsenal are talking about it, so we'll see what happens".

"I'm happy to have helped the team and winning the title must be the next objective for this club."

Sounds like he will be sold in the summer. Not a big loss and hopefully some income to add to our transfer budget, though most likely to goto our cash reserves.

Can't we use him to try and get Manolas?

 

[Dokaka]

Done quite well at Roma, surprised he doesn't want to come back but it did sound like he had a bit of a falling out with Wenger.

 

[Malky]

Nothing in this, he's only wanting to stay at Roma on loan for another season. Szczesny put on Twitter/Facebook that the media are ****s because they've twisted his words to make a story that he wants out of Arsenal.

 

[Proof]

We should extend his loan. He is too good to be a back-up and I believe he still has a future at Arsenal.

As Malky said:

 

[Nyctophobia]

Hope he does stay there, what I've read is that he's the same old Woj, which I honestly cannot be bothered with any more.

 

[Mastadon]

Sell with buyback clause would be ideal. Cech will be our keeper for another few years Chesney won't be taking his place anytime soon.

 

[Impact]

Anyone else really disappointed to find out he doesn't want to stay permanently?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Heard he has done well. Hopefully we can loan him again, and milk the last year out of Cech and take the situation from there.

Like the lad.

Szczęsny*

 

[Tir Na Nog]

He doesn't seem to take football seriously enough for my liking, has a lot of talent but he's never came across as professional as most top class goalkeepers are.

 

[North5]

Thinking of our keeper situation since 07' to Cech is just infuriating.

Yep. Everything seemed to go dramatically downhill after we let Mart Poom go.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

i don't either Szczesny or Ospina will stay here next season both want to be starters not backups.

he done well for Roma but every time i watch him he make shocking mistakes.

He seems to have settled down recently and performing better. I remember when he first went there you were seeing a mistake of his on social media every other week. I don’t see much benefit in persisting with him as goalkeepers are usually very cheap. Chelsea got Begovic for £8M ffs.

Given how inexpensive keepers are I think even when we had very limited resources not buying a competent keeper was one of the worse decesions

 

[tap-in]

I never want him back!

You make a good point about keepers being cheap.

It made me think about Wenger's negligence and us having us endure the Almunia, Mannone and Fabianski years.

 

[Rex Stone]

Read his Facebook, putting the media rumours on blast. Think he just wants to stay there for another year right now.

 

[Aevi]

Whatever, I like the look of Martinez anyways. Hope he takes Ospina's place next year and learns from Cech. He's been great at Wolverhampton... at least he was good when he played.

Szczęsny can go out for another loan, we don't lose anything from it.
