Turkish site claims that his transfer to Fenerbahce is all done, will be announced after the Copa America, seems like an obvious precursor to Cech arriving. 5.5m euros fee. This is properly ruthless from Wenger.

 

[Marmaduke]

Is that a reliable source though or just the Turkish Mirror?

 

[Trilly]

If this is true then we're going to have a good window.

Shows that Wenger is in win-now mode, and will make the necessary signings to go for the title.

 

[Proof]

This would be great to happen.

Looks to be one of the final nails in the coffin for the cech transfer (short of Ornstein and .com)

Shame, as he wasn't bad or anything, but for the best. Sczc has a higher ceiling, needs to get his head down and maybe a better Gk coach behind him.

 

[AVENTUS]

Just my 2 cents.

But I'd rather we sold Szczęsny

 

[Goon_si]

IMO the smart move if true, from the two obvious options (selling either Szcz or Ospina). Szczesny does have more potential and it should be phenomenal for him to learn from someone like Cech.

Would still like it if Szczesny was loaned and Opsina stays as backup. But unlikely he'd want a loan.

Szczesny is still extremely young for a keeper, as is Emi Martinez who's also shown a lot of promise. Both could develop into number 1's whilst Ospina is heading towards his peak, arguably is currently in his peak. Selling Ospina makes more sense, even though he's only been here a short while.

I'd sell Ospina too, hope this has legs, smart business.

 

[ModelGooner]

Jesus, really? I would be shocked if this happened. I'd rather sell Sczezney!

 

[Calypso_Boy]

glad this is happening it's clear ospina will never be a top keeper

 

[ArsenesNO1Fan]

So bit of a low price for someone who's had a pretty good season/6 months.

 

[Rex Stone]

Ospina is too good a keeper to be a clear back up to Cech. Good for everyone involved.

He was a solid influence in a difficult time and he won 2 trophies with us.

 

[bingobob]

Did we sign him for free? I think we did but can't recall

 

[Gooner Zig]

Pretty sure we signed him for like £3.5m

 

[AVENTUS]

Can't see why Ospina would wan't to leave Arsenal for Turkey his only just arrived here and is contracted for 3 years. I don't think this story makes any sense or holds any weight.

 

[Rex Stone]

Yeah transfermarkt says he moved for that, 5.5M€ equals around £4M so there's a tiny profit I guess.

 

[rony_henry]

Why would we sell our best keeper?

Why would we sell our best keeper?

Errrmm.. Because we're bringing in a better one?

 

[Emibury]

Not sure I am entirely happy if this is true. Schezny needs games to improve, and if he is our No 2 then he will not get them. I would much rather Schezny be loaned out and Ospina becomes our No 2 (who I currently rate higher than Schezny).

The fact that Cech is not mentioned in the linked article suggests to me that the link may be real, and not just some BS made up based on our interest in Cech.

We could still loan Szczesny out and give Martinez the No. 2 position. He didn't disgrace himself when he played for us last year.
