Agree, Leno isn’t great, a liability at times.

The problem we have now is that Leno has no serious competition and I’m sure he’s well aware of this. We just have to hope he hasn’t entered into a comfort zone.
There’s still a decent keeper there and let’s not forget he has saved our arses on many occasions but I do worry about his sloppiness.

Given how we struggled to sell any players in this window, I don't really get how it can be posited so definitively we could have just sold Leno instead.
Not going to lament Martinez's departure, ultimately he wanted to go and play first team football and not trust that he would get regularly game time here.
Martinez, waited 10 years for his chance, he then got it and performed brilliantly, then got dropped for the Charity Shield, fair enough if he decides he won't get his chance after that. Arteta has favourites and players he's doesn't want to play.
The favourites are the likes of Xhaka, Leno, Nketiah , Luiz etc
The ones he doesn't seem to like are the likes of Martinelli, Saliba, Ozil, Guendouzi and a few others.
I just don't like this, players should be picked on performances and form, Lacazette for example should have played against City.
Anyway martinez held onto the ball, Leno likes to punch which I personally think is riskier. Made a fair few mistakes for Leverkusen before we bought him, good shotstopper no doubt but the rest of his game needs a lot of work.
Martinez played in the Community Shield.
