Far from Whats that, he was 29? drinks on the bar are probably I cant see that lasting more than a season and possibly only 6 months. There was an interview of Rambo where he albeit jokingly mentioned how Ozil was a teachers pet. They wildly mishandled those contract renewals . Nice to see Almunia was never as good as Lehmann, and probably shouldnt have played as much as he did when the German was around, but he was a competent goalkeeper who learned from his mistakes while still at the club. I am in favor of keeping both Leno and Emi for this season. Oh, hi Mesut. Deciding when to come off his line was another area where he excelled and that brings me to the first point of, lets say, contrast with many of our recent custodians.I read a comment, a long time ago now, in one of journalist and Arsenal fan Amy Lawrences articles, in which she said she had once seen an international fixture between Northern Ireland and Russia. why I cant remember Rhyss So there. their keeper skills.

Im still in the Bernd camp regarding Id sell Leno, then if it turns out to be a mistake we can always blame Arteta . Alexis has always been a nomad and when he first started showing interest in moving on and City was willing to pay so much we should have just accepted that and move on. season and become a top PL Emi is I agree better on crosses but My final contribution is another piece by Tim Stillman on Xhaka . And he didnt concede in those 18 minutes either. @GoonerUpNorth I have sent you the code and Did he spend as much time behind his own goal-line as in front of it? He has ended up being the 2010 World Cup of goalkeepers high-profile, with plenty of hype, yet you cant name more than two or three things that happened during his time at Arsenal, and one of those is music-related. Cynic. I think we do a good job supporting those who have been injured in our shirt, so i am wondering who you think has been left by the wayside? player of the year. So much meaning in so few words. *off to the naughty step without any supper*. That is very Arsenal.

Fabianski has developed into one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, but he showed few signs of that during his time at Arsenal. The club's goalscoring record is held by Thierry Henry, who scored 228 goals in all competitions between 1999 and 2007 and during a loan spell with the club in 2012. Eddie has just scored a rapid hat trick for England u21s. He not only pulled off some ridiculously good save, but endeared himself to Gunners with a generous helping of sensational shithousery. When Gerry Peyton left in 2018, the possibly surprisingly named, for an English ex-goalkeeper, Salvatore Bibbo took over, and he was joined in December 2019 by Brentford goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon - a man Mikel Arteta knows from their playing days at Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola hailed Erling Haaland after the "incredible" striker set a Manchester City goal record as the Premier League champions thrashed Bournemouth 4-1 to keep the pressure on leaders Arsenal on Saturday.. Did Ospina make a habit of sabotaging his own teams efforts? . Not the first time my eye test has failed me, it wont be the last.

Back to goalkeepers: the U-23s keeper, 18-year-old Karl Hein, has won his first senior cap for Estonia, joining Northern Ireland CB Daniel Ballard as a full international who has yet to make an appearance for the Arsenal first team. By all means lets head on in to the Partey room then. I agree totally about Emi , he is definitely a more complete keeper than Leno who is poor on crosses . Ned, thanks for the stats. 9. the future if it wasnt for the We could play AMN in midfield and Cedric at right back but I think we will keep Elneny at least until Ceballos is fit and available. Apparently there was little assistance adjusting to his new environment and there was a new language to learn. If we need to sell one this window, the question is not only who do we sell but also we do we get affordable enough in this short notice as the very important second goalkeeper in the squad. Before his unfortunate knee injury he had been in great form, made many brilliant saves and was consistently among our best performers.Now, in the middle of the current transfer window and apparently strapped for cash, Arsenal will seemingly have to raise money to assist any spending.

Ballard was out on loan at Swindon last season and got badly injured, but started 17 of the U-23s games the season before. I think youve all made very fair, albeit to varying degrees, assumptions of the situation given the lack of concrete information we have. Congrats to Xhaka on being over the years than developing @23 BtM Cent@11: There are some stats for keepers claiming high balls in league games, although they are raw numbers. I think the return of Guendouzi to training and Ozil to the team is weak. Black Hill was a book I enjoyed a lot already packed with England The shortlist was compiled by a panel of FIFA experts. I think there is a very simple explanation of what happened and is happening. duty though a different kind of On the choice of feature keepers I have but two words: Im not old enough to have seen him play myself, and truth to tell I can barely remember more than the names of most of the players I have seen, but those a generation older than I spoke of Kelsey in the highest possible terms. That deal might be that you pay him 100 k a week and we cover the rest . Clearly Arteta sees a player he can work with. currently Nos 9 and 10 in our Ive seen safer keepers on our local common . I checked van Dijks stats out of curiosity as he is generally taken to be the best CB in the league. I wont mention the X word but I believe with a dynamic partner or partners and with a creative 10 ahead of him he could have a great season. LT11 leave until after the Fulham Lets hope we see a few crafty fifties against the Aussies today. Sokratis 64 19 ESR is listed with the squad number 32, though he doesnt have a shirt number on the club site.

My local club has just got rid of a similar problem with a player whod been at the club forever and was a forceful personality, but until hed gone nobody realised what a bad atmosphere was in the dressing room, even though he was well liked by the other players. made captain of Switzerland . As much as he sometimes does nice things on the pitch there is too much he does not do that needs to he done. This is both hugely enjoyable and a great description of our keepers .

He played two games for the Gunners, neither of which we can remember. The alarming loss of technical qualities in the team we lost Santi, Alexis, TR7, Jack in quick succession didnt do Ozil any favor as well. Soon. He used to live in a High Rise on a Concrete Island you know. Of course its up to Arteta but do you think he has a role to play ? I, too, found the narrow range of the team stats unexpected. For the last fifteen years he would have made our team considerably better. Most likely to be my failing memory and dilettante following of the Arsenal at that period. Players highlighted in bold are still actively playing at Arsenal. (Fabulous turn out by both teams, some real legends, Brady my particular favourite). I think the only way out of the Ozil situation is to use Joorabchian to broker a deal with one of the three leading Istanbul clubs . He has enhanced status as the idol of Turkish football near his mate Erdogan , plays in a league which probably suits him at this stage of his career and we save enough per week to pay a new, top player . He always gave the impression that, despite obvious agility and quick reflexes, he just didnt have the calmness or mental strength necessary to handle the pressures of playing at such a big club something that has been borne out by his relative personal successes at Swindon and West Ham.When Gerry Peyton left in 2018, the possibly surprisingly named, for an English ex-goalkeeper, Salvatore Bibbo took over, and he was joined in December 2019 by Brentford goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon a man Mikel Arteta knows from their playing days at Barcelona.
