Scezney really that good?

[Maestro]

Don't get me wrong, if we had the money to bring in a top quality keeper, who is much better than what we have then fine. But we have the defence, defensive and offensive mid as well as striker problems to address which I personally think are more of a priority .....where the bulk of likely limited funds should be spent

...but if we are gonna do a City splurge, then hell yeah ..go for it, knock yourself Wenger go buy a £15M+ keeper

But you see, next season, it shall so happen that his every cock-up will be severely punished by the opposition to the derailment of our objectives. Then come close season next year will be talking about why we had to rely on an untested kid in such an important area of the ptch.

The issue then is, why has wenger allowed this to become the state of the squad? In my opinion, the goalie position is not even an area where you actively try and develop a player from scratch (for a top club anyway).

Point taken but with a good defence in front of him and a team that puts in a shift when without the ball, I think he is good enough and it has been done before ...actively grooming a young keeper

On the current state of the squad and Wenger ...honest answer is I don't know why Wenger let it get to this, only he knows the full truth

That's the real problem, years of neglect. That's why it seems such a bad idea to give the guy another year and potentially another three.

You think if we tread water for a 3rd year that they won't consider simply not offering him another extension? We're patient but we're not THAT patient.

As long as we're in the top 4 he'll be offered an extension

[Maestro]

Even though I want him gone, I'm as baffled as the next fan as to why he's neglected evident promlems year after year and then top it off with some poor signings ...I mean did he really think Squillaci was a good player and Alumina was good enough to retain as our #1? Seriously?

There is something seriously wrong he's not telling us or this guy is just not good enough anymore and the game has passed him by. I mean right now if you gave me a choice between Zimm and Wenger I'd go Zimm anytime, I don't Zimm would take shit from players and he wouldn't buy shit players ....okay okay I shouldn't smoke before I type, but do you get where I'm coming from

I feel really sad for his seemingly impending demise, once a very good manager ...and an even greater mental patient

R.I.P



Arsene Wenger

When the errors of the past are repeated next season, I doubt we'll be blaming playing an inexperienced keeper like Chesney. There are more experienced keepers about, but we have limited resources and a multitude of problems. Prioritising dealing with our problems is crucial if we are to progress. Im my opinion, we could get a keeper with tha qualities of Pat jennings, David Seaman and Jens Lehmann rolled in to one and he'd still look a mug behind our defence. So in the transfer window, we have bigger priorities than a new keeper. Lets sort them out and if there are still resources available for better than we have in goal, by all means improve that position then.

The keeper situation has always been exaggerated because of the shit defence. Sort out the defence and having an average keeper (what I think Chesney is atm) won't be a huge issue. Improve the attack and conceding goals won't be as costly.

One wouldn't be overstating the importance of cech,van de sar,valdes,cassillas etc. to their teams though? In my opinion Gomes was the difference between us and the spuds this season.
