Yeah, we know, you've said, why do you think he's a very poor goalkeeper? Everything would suggest he is decent and there's a lot to work with.

If you were in goal for Sheffield United last season you'd also look **** at times. Bloke probably faced 1000 shots.

Bad with his feet, bad in the air, makes errors, no confidence.

This has been explained so many times.

You can explain it all you want with your dodgy eye test. But the stats for him suggest otherwise and with a keeper stats are actually pretty important.

Good shot stopper, good high claims, good distribution. Plenty to work on as well and nothing is perfect, but he will improve drastically at a club like Arsenal. He's 23 years old. You probably wrote de gea off when he first arrived. Seen like that sort of guy.

Seriously just stop you're getting on my nerves.
You are a pr man. Who argues a keeper is 23. Keepers play well into their mid 30s. You are arguing bloody Ramsdale can be one of the best. Even he would tell you to stop it. The guy can’t even catch the ball lol. He is the worst keeper in the league

Using De Gea as a comparison? :lol: :lol:

What are they smoking over at the emirates
Whenever they have a transfer decision to make they should just do the opposite to what they think is best. Another disastrous decision with regards to goal keepers last year.

Just get Areola on loan and focus on other priorities.

He has been more than decent with Fulham and he already knows the PL.

Stop with this Ramsdale fetish.

That’s the scary part. They are handing him the spot for the future and once you spend 30 million you have to be patient with him. Arsenal ain’t gonna spend 30 million on a keeper and after 1 season look for a new keeper.

Unless he decides not to be an arteta disciple and shows some resistance to the manager

Not even really with hindsight. You could see it at the time. Was obvious that we should have kept him for a season and let them duke it out for top spot.
Can't agree here.

I'm a huge fan of Emi's, watched his whole evolution with this club and always thought there was a good keeper there even when people thought he was ****, BUT this is one of those where with hindsight we really forget the actual panorama when the decision was made.

In the moment, you have two keepers, one who we thought was quite good (Leno) and who we had a pretty decent sample of being good, another who we thought was quite good but had a sample of 3-4 months of being good. You need money to invest in the squad, having two top keepers is not a good use of squad resources. One is coming off an injury and is likely at the low point of his value, the other has a nice market value. It was honestly the correct and logical play, the one someone playing the odds as we want a forward-thinking club to do, would make.

Those plays don't always work out, though, and this is one of those cases. With hindsight maybe you could say we should've thought more about Leno's history with a more critical eye, think about how his two seasons of quality with us were well above what the metrics telling us about his time in Germany, worry about a regression to the mean-- but to think that above the more convincing thought at the time (that he had come from Germany and evolved, as young keepers do, especially talented ones like him), really takes some hindsight, honestly, or a talent evaluator with a very cynical eye (which would apply in the same case with Martínez, and probably still come out deciding that Leno was the right choice to keep).
