that Sven certainly knows how to put in a shift - other clubs are going to be after him before any of our players

Most keepers have a mistake in them. It's all about their mentality and how they bounce back that counts.

Sven will know this guy better than most, gotta trust his judgement I guess.

It's the coaching that needed changing at Arsenal. That said if Cech ****s up again he's done.
Love this mentality of not giving players second chances that we seem to be developing. This is Arsenal, not Sp**s.

Cech is done anyway. Year as backup before a handshake and a wave goodbye.

I've watched a couple of Leverkusen games, from what I've seen of Leno:
Can make high profile errors
Decent but not great distribution
Excellent in the air
Can make some real De Gea esque saves
Already is far better than Cech and Ospina, still young for a keeper, certainly better than anyone else we could get without spending 40+ million.

His age is a huge plus point. Should easily have 10+ years left in him and has solid experience already with plenty of room for improvement.
It's easy to criticize mistakes but ugh... the reputation of Emery's goalkeeping coach gives me some hope at least. Leno definitely has potential, but he'll have to keep developing here if he is to be the quality we need.

Honestly pictured him at Arsenal for a long time, welcomed signing. Though he won't fill in the gap that Szscesny left, I really believe he will prove why he was touted to be the German number 1 until his injury and Ter Stegen happened.

2019: Sven Mislintat, the head scout of Arsenal London, is leaving London to join Barcelona for a world record fee of 100m.

If we go big on one more player, I am kinda fine with it. But if he's our last deal, that's meh.
As you said, he's still quite young but there's been no development for a long time - but that's also the problem because he occupies a spot where we eventually want to have a wc-player again.
Very risky signing who won't be thrown out within a year or two, if he performs ****ty.
He'll have to start putting on some long-sleeved shirts, can't be having short-sleeved in the PL.

I hope Sven knows what he's doing, Leno looks dodgy as hell.

People will be pleasantly surprised with him if he joins, big improvement on Cech and Ospina.

'IF' I remember correctly I watched this game and this was mistake 1 of 2 which resulted in goals..

Goalkeepers will make mistakes and because of their position are more likely to be punished for it. Unsurprisingly of the top 6 clubs only De Gea and Courtois made 0 mistakes in the league. Teams that rarely take chances anywhere.
If you accept a keeper will make mistakes then it comes down to the type of mistakes they make. I like to think a lot of mistakes Cech made are down to him being asked to play a way that isn't him. Get a keeper that can play the way we want and instantly you reduce the mistakes. Leno may or may not be world class but if he fits us then we should see an instant improvement.
Also something that is potentially important. The way teams play in the league is changing. More teams are playing it on the deck and so the challenges that were there for Sczesney and other young keepers are different. Not as much Moyes, Sam, Pulis into the mixer style football to contend with.
