Edwin van der Sar

How much did Manure pay for Barthez?
And did we get Lehmann on a free?

Lehmann cost us approx. 1.5 million pounds. Which is a steal in my view, considering, that he can match up the likes of Van der Saar.

Surely, Wenger is looking at long term options, which will cost more money...but until then, Jens is doing just fine.

van der Sar is also suffering a bit of a confidence dip at the moment - I believe he had a howler against Chelsea last night - so he'd fit right in!

What? oh right, ......

 

[kevin_kyle]

I was amused by the Watford though.......
I was cut up when i saw that fulham went down by one goal
I would have been stoked if the communists got beaten.

Myles Palmer seems pretty confident that van der Sar is coming.

Is he spouting rubbish again? Or is there any truth to this? There hasn't been any mainstream press on this transfer target..

hes old but he do a great job for us if he signed

 

[Mostarac]

Palmer is an idiot who does not know what he is talking about. van der Sar is definetively not good enough for Arsenal.

 

[Ratinho]

Look if Almunia's not good enough, Lehmann is clearly not good enough, and van der Sar is not good enough, who the f**k do people want?

I knw there is a consensus that Hildebrand is the only capable goalkeeper in world football, but as far as I know he is going to OT, so if we can at least move on, that would be nice. If he came, it would be a nice surprise, but don't hold your breath.

I don't really think Van der Sar would be a good option as his recent dropping from Fulham coupled with some poor form recently and his age means hes not what arsenal need. I think we should be looking for a relatively young keeper who could be at the top for quite a few years instead of looking for stop gaps although that is easier said then done.

 

[malagar]

I surely dont want van der clown - almunia is better

 

[Rapid88]

Van Der Sar was a brilliant keeper in times past. He is not now a better keeper IMO than Lehmann or Almunia. We should not sign him.

 

[KingReyes]

Last I read was that Van Der Sar is close to signing a new deal with Fulham.

you never know i think van der sar is too old for arsenal, maybe for this season only but after that we gotta find a new keeper if we get the giant dutch man

 

[asajoseph]

Go and look through the ANR archives - in the past he's had us directly linked with the likes of Paul Ince, Zidane, and even Ronaldo (memory sketchy on the last one).

He's not the most reliable source in the world.

An Abbiati, Cudicini or Frey would be sweet as...

 

[Sammer]

Leave Frey out, but Abbiati and Cudicini would be nice, although Chelsea would never sell Cudicini to us.

Van der Saar would have been an excellent choice some years ago. He is 34 now I believe, and basically on the same level as Lehmann.

 

[almo]

Van der Sar is too old! I'd do for Cudicini or Niemi for their age & experience.

 

[Mostarac]

What is wrong with Frey? He is an good keeper too.
