Timo Horn's scouting report from a couple of years ago:
http://outsideoftheboot.com/2015/11...horn-next-in-the-long-line-of-german-keepers/

"Despite being one of the top Goalkeepers in the Bundesliga this season, Horn still has some weaknesses in his game. Most of his weaknesses have to do with the finesse part of goalkeeping, as Horn isn’t a great long passer or break starter from the net. His passing percentage sits at a mediocre 60 percent, and most of the top goalies have percentages from 65 to 75% . Cologne didn’t play with a lot of quickness or pace last season, and some of that can be attributed to Horn not starting counter attacks from the back the way the Manuel Neuer, Courtois and others can. You constantly see Chelsea and Bayern Munich launch counter attacks because of the throwing ability of their goalies. While Cologne play faster this season, that’s largely due to Modeste and Bettencourt’s respective form, not Horn starting attacks.

Another weakness of Horn’s is that he concedes a lot of corners, as since Cologne concede a lot of shots, Horn often faces pressure and has to punch the ball away quickly, which results in corners. Despite not allowing many second chances, Horn has a habit of giving up corners like the one against Hannover 96. If he can control his punching, or even be able to punch the ball to a teammate that will further strengthen him as an all round goalkeeper, and that is the only way to get noticed by Joachim Low."

Thanks, God. It's what's needed. We need all three.

I'd love to see us get rid of Elneny and Debuchy too. Bring in a quality midfielder and someone who can play at both LWB/RWB or LB/RB.

To be honest, it does not sound too bad, however, it remains a very vague statement which still leaves room for interpretation.

As of yesterday, the very same man said all three are unlikely, but let's see. Maybe Arsenal has a positive surprise for once !

Timo Porn was woeful against us.

Dwarf and looked less intimidating in goal than Ospina.
If you look at his WhoScored, his best performance this season was when we played Koln away. haha

Arsenal Quotes

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.
