Anyway don't listen to me, listen to Bob Wilson who thinks the same as me and knows far more about what it takes to be a top goalkeeper than you or I.

Bob Wilson is a legendary Arsenal keeper and is entitled to his opinion . But , just like pundits , his opinion is not a gospel .Having been a good player does not necessarily mean you can spot a talent or assess a player . Most of scouts have not been very good players themselves .
When Wenger started using RVP as the main striker we heard many ex :top players and pundits disagreeing and urging him to buy a striker instead because they believed Van Persie was not up to the job . They were all proven wrong .

wenger says we almost signed Sherwood...

Cup Final day :sick:

Ok then turning that on it's head, what have you seen in Ospina that makes you think Bob Wilson is wrong?

As far as I know , we are the third best defence after Chelsea and Southampton according to the statistics . Before , we were labelled as one of the worse defences . We have changed the goal keeper and our records have improved a bit . We do not concede goals easily as we used to do . I think credit must be to the keeper who has inspired more confidence in his defenders . People can have their opinions but statistics do not lie . Ospina has been a big improvement on Szczesny . I know he still has more room for improvement . But, once fully adapted to the league, you will be one of his few doubters to praise him .
