Wojciech Szczesny

[IBK]

Think it's unfair to say he would've ruined him.

Wasn't Szdndanay making it clear he wasn't happy when he wasn't getting games two seasons ago? Wenger does the right thing in dropping him when his form goes, even if it risks re-upsetting the player (probably had to wait until Fabianski wasn't injured) though and apparently he's the big bad man out to destroy careers. And this can't be about scapegoats or just targeting one player for our failings because Vermaelen has been dropped at the same time.

You do allude to it however, this is going to be just like Bendtner, with a family member sounding off at Wenger.

I think you misunderstand, mate. The 'ruination' would be if Szczęsny ends up tossed out because of the culmination of all this. As I say - I think he has suffered from a combination of our kamikazee approach to defending, combined with a lack of competition. IMO it would have beensensible to plan better to Szczęsny being a future top class No. 1 by signing an experienced pro coming to the end of his time, for the lad to learn from. I think its unfair to expect a keeper as young as Szczęsny who has had noone decent to learn from since he arrived at the club - to have the wherewithal to improve as he should do - whatever his talent. Reliance on him (and you may be right that Flappy's injury hasn't helped) without competition or GK leadership has led to his current bad form, IMO. It is also not recent, but has been a decline over time (Euro's anyone?). However if Flappy has found new drive and stays and Wenger does not behave true to form, then maybe the situation can be retrieved.
