Welcome Leno. Hope you unleash your potential and become one of the greatest keeper !:bounce:

Leeeeeeeno!
Very happy with this signing. It really does make you wonder why on earth the positions we have desperately needed to strengthen for some time are now being sorted in such an efficient manner.
That is what you think. We were 2nd IIRC, if you count home form.Because, none of these are stellar signings. These are signings an Everton or a West Ham or Crystal Palace would make. The target at Arsenal used to be the League, and in 2016 we were second. The target now is just not to place lower than 6th.

We have a far better team now than in 2016. We have Mkhi, Auba, Ramsey, Özil, Bellerin, and these players would start for any other team in the world. Only Alexis is the one player who would have made this team from the 2016 lot.
Leno is the best available GK around unless you count crazy money. Who would you have bought?
We don;t have crazy money to spend though. We have several positions to strengthen. We're going about it in the best way possible and much more pro-active than ever before.You pay crazy money for a top GK. Otherwise, its hardly an upgrade over Ospina, Cech and what we already have.
Our young keepers are rubbish.
Leno is a top goalkeeper. Hewon the Confed Cup with Germany. Played thrice last year.You pay crazy money for a top GK. Otherwise, its hardly an upgrade over Ospina, Cech and what we already have.
Bra we need to spend big. And im talking real big stupensous. The typa money that would make us say we pay more for ours that means he better.We don;t have crazy money to spend though.

Let me break this down for you. If you have 1 cent and the ice cream costs 2 cents. How many ice creams can you have?Bra we need to spend big. And im talking real big stupensous. The typa money that would make us say we pay more for ours that means he better.

Making a joke man. The old retoric we have to spend huge to get quality is getting on my nervesLet me break this down for you. If you have 1 cent and the ice cream costs 2 cents. How many ice creams can you have?
In football it is more like. We have 1 cent now. We might have 2 cents next season if we only spend half a cent now. But if we spend 2 cents now then for five seasons we only have half a cent.
Football finance is a finite thing for some clubs.....
Fair enough. Sorry,missed that.Making a joke man. The old retoric we have to spend huge to get quality is getting on my nerves
I would have gone for Oblak. I hope this guy makes it big here but I can't help but be concerned that he is not considered to be even the 3rd best German keeper.That is what you think. We were 2nd IIRC, if you count home form.

We don't have the money to activate Oblak's release clause. Even if we did, its hard to see why he would drop down to the Europa League to play for us.I would have gone for Oblak.

He is the 3rd best German GK ... Only Neuer and Ter Stegen are ahead of him. The latter only being so very recently.I would have gone for Oblak. I hope this guy makes it big here but I can't help but be concerned that he is not considered to be even the 3rd best German keeper.
The answer is moneyWe don't have the money to activate Oblak's release clause. Even if we did, its hard to see why he would drop down to the Europa League to play for us.
Well that's a relief.He is the 3rd best German GK ... Only Neuer and Ter Stegen are ahead of him. The latter only being so very recently.
Someone posted the breakdown as to why he is 4th in the pecking order... It has nothing to do with his ability.
It’s not that Leno is a bad player but we had four gaps in the squad and filled all of them with smart signings. Would have liked one of them to be a big signing and most expected that big signing to be in goal.people forget that PEA and Mhki have been here for only 6 months. PEA is a marquee signing and imo everyone else would’ve considered Mhki to be as well before he went to United and got Mourinhoed. Now is the time for smart signings rather than spectacular. More so than the budget we are hampered by lack of champions league. Why would an Allison or Oblak come here?
Tbh I’m surprised that Torrieia is coming. A lot of Serie A experts rate him amongst the best young midfielders in Italy. If he was a bit taller we may not have had him.
It’s right to expect the best imo, but even then I think some people are being ungrateful or should I say unrealistic. Given the constraints that are on us, I think our business thus far has been excellent

People are expecting a winger and one would be nice but I won’t be surprised if we’re done for the summer.
