Matt Turner: Head Turner or Head Scratcher?

[AmeriGooner]

He is steadier than Ramsdale. Feels Ramsdale is capable of crazy saves, but more error prone as well. I can see him eventually getting the shirt

I think he’s a better shotstopper than Ramsdale but still has a long ways to go with his feet.

Solid World Cup from him, can be proud.

...powerful and beautiful at the same time!

dat last quote.

 

[Rex Stone]

He should be starting. So clear of Ramsdale it’s ridiculous.

 

[drippin]

Great game by Turner, looked confident and saved that 1vs1 situation by coming forward.

 

[DasBootist]

Solid back-up

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He's good and I feel I can trust him. Good on the 1v1.

 

[Riou]

Another solid game from my boy @grange in nets, can't lie.

3 years ago you were 350 pounds heavy, whoring your way around the backstreets of Missouri just to afford another hit from your dealer...now here you are, playing for The Arsenal.

Proper inspirational story this

Not much to do but I like him. Think he can even challenge Ramsdale next season

The moment Ramsdale gets an injury he's in trouble. Turner will stay in.

Looks a bit like some poor lad from a log cabin in Illinois, but he seems competent.

Looks really good for a number 2

There’s a clamour among journalists and ex national team players for Turner to leave and go somewhere he can be first choice. I wonder how long he’ll be content in this role.

Admittedly, it's an odd role for him. Off reputation alone he probably should leave, but he seems to like it here and proud to be part of the club.

I like him, he's looked good every time he's played this season imo. I'm also not really convinced by ramsdale, he is good on the ball but imo his shot stopping is pretty average. But our defence this season has been so good that he doesn't really get tested that much.

Could be an issue for him when we get closer to the WC. His likely rival for the #1 spot just joined Chelsea so he may have to play regularly to keep the role he played in Qatar.

Feel he'll stay for another season or two, but will eventually move on to become #1 somewhere else assuming Ramsdale doesn't fall off a cliff.

Said he grew up an Arsenal supporter, so getting his foot in the door to European football by signing for us must have been a dream come true, but he's nearing 30, and with the US being one of the hosts of the next WC, you'd assume he'll eventually want a starting role.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Good signng regardless. Where we to sell him in the summer we could probably get 15M

 

[avenellroad]

Would actually give him a run in the first team. Ramsdale has been so dodgy recently.

Turner was one of the USA’s best players at the World Cup and is decent enough with the ball at his feet.
