Nothing Wrong With Me
When this clown left on loan I was so pleased. I haven't really followed his progress but have read he's done well. I would take him back for a season to see how far he's progressed. His distribution was dire so that needs to be much better. Also he would save us having to spend leaving money for elsewhere. Make him No1 with Cech & Martinez waiting in the wings. Ospina will be off.

Has Szczesny actually improved that much? I mean 30 year old Sp**s loaned CB and PL flop Fazio is Roma's star CB...

Doesn't that suggest he has then...

How? Don't get it. Anyway, I'm finding it hard to believe that he has become a top GK all of a sudden. Didn't rate him much before talent wise but then again I'm no GK expert in anyway.

You've just said that a flop is his CB. So if a player that isn't really that good is sitting in front of him and he has still managed all those clean sheets then either he's done well or the player you thought was a flop has improved/never been a flop/had a great purple patch.
I went for the optimistic approach. He's a world beater now

I meant to say that since Fazio who couldn't cut it in the Prem is doing extraordinarily well there then people are maybe reading too much into Szczesny's improvement.

Fair enough. I'd like to think he is coming back and this was all a masterplan by the boss...
I also thought he was rough when he left and his attitude sucked. Thought he had made it when he was like 22. Hoping this is the beginning of a decade with no keeper worries.
Finding optimism in this is all I have left okay. Leave me be

Well that is the thing. Trax's thinking suggest that if we bring this guy back and sell Ospina (lower our squad cost) we'll not do as well as if we sell this lad and buy some 14 year old from Senegal for 50M (up our squad cost).
Better distribution, quicker off his line and just as likely to pull off a spectacular save as Cech. If it's a choice between the two than we should be going with Scz.

Yes, massively, watched him many a time, far more decisive than Cecvh or Ospina when faced with an onrushing player, plus his shot stopping has improved. Most importantly though he appears and it sounds like he has grown up as a player which was the more important factor. His talent was never in doubt and now statistically he is one of the best keepers in Europe this season.
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
So you're saying that the keeper crisis of 2012 where we had no viable option has now morphed into the Keeper crisis of 2017 where we have two viable options and a Columbian?
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
That is really harsh on Ospina. I actually like the guy. Just don't think he is suited to the EPL.

Cheers! Sounds very encouraging indeed. We'd be pretty well off on the GK department for years. That should be a worry dealt with minimum fuss.
And we have Martinez as well. I hope we send him out on a similar loan to Szcz because I doubt he'll be getting much gametime here.

Agreed on all accounts but would like to add his distribution has come on in leaps and bounds this season.
He's a much better goalkeeper than he was when he left us.

Yeah, that is it. Great pro. Would be a starter at most clubs and would do well outside of the Prem. Will never forget his legendary dramas
Mark Tobias
Mr. Agreeable
I like Martinez. I think that would be perfect for him. We may have Keepers for the next decade if we do this right. Always a chance he hits a ceiling early but I like him.

a penalty wouldn't be an instant goal, with him you have at least more faith than zero
