    We've signed a GK.

    https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/foo...-a3846501.html

    He's 17.

    He's about 4ft.

    Just want we need.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Probably still better than Cech and Ospina. Meanwhile Szczesny, who loves Arsenal, is about to take the reigns as Juventus' top keeper. And we let him go because he's a bit of a twat and had a fag in the changing rooms after a bad day. Merci, Arsene.

    I seem to recall him having some howlers for us.

    There's not a GK in the world that doesn't. Szczesny's mistakes were less technical and more about inexperience. It was never like Cech at the near post or Ospina flapping at a cross. He was commanding without being flashy. And we'll see how he gets on for Juventus, a team far better than us. The smart money's on him killing it over there.

    We signed him to make Seri look tall.

It'll take years to assemble 11 players of sufficient quality to realise what Wenger was trying to achieve. Not a route I want to see us go down.
    I'm thinking more of Cazorla's exceptional control under pressure, and being able to turnover opposition attacks - we've really missed that when trying to beat the high press, and I think it's caused us just as many defensive headaches as our lack of a big bastard in the middle. Maybe we wouldn't actually need to win the ball back quite so often if we could stop being pressured into so many stupid mistakes?

    In terms of style, yes Seri likes a pass, be looks like more of a give-and-go, box-to-box type to me - very nippy and covers a lot of ground.

    I was always gutted that we let him go

    Szczesny said he had learned more in Italy than what he had learned at Arsenal. In fact, I think he said this whilst on loan to Roma.

    Yep. Roma. After his first training session.
