Wojciech Szczęsny - thoughts

[Gooner23]

The thing is, goalkeepers are very different from outfield players. Goalkeepers get better from experience and generally peak in their form between age 28-30. Ches is 23, we've already stuck with him for 4 years, personally i think we'd be crazy to dispense with him now. I genuinely think by the time he hits 28 he'll be up there with the very best in the world. What he needs now (and has needed for the past few seasons) is an older experienced keeper to work with, guide him and push him to be better than he is currently showing. Whether the keeper to do that is Ceasar or not is debatable but he probably fits the criteria of what we need. Ches will undoubtedly cost us some points at some point this year (what keeper doesn't) but i'd be confident he'll be responsible for winning us some games we would have otherwise drawn/lost also

I agree with this. He's basically had no competition for his 1st team place. Get in an older experienced keeper for a couple of years like Cesar, and I think it would benefit Ches as well.

Right now he's not at the level we need, but he's far from our worst problem.

I'd go with that

Knew he wouldnt amount to much after his twitter comments about Ashley Cole after he missed in some pen shootout a few years back.

If you dont respect the legends of your craft then you have zero chance.

And yet you never have a good word to say about my posts!

I thought this thread was going to be a collection of whimsical musings from the man himself when I saw the thread title.

Never mind.

I disagree that Chesney is the least of our problems, he's a key player because mistakes by keepers more often than not lead to goals.

He was awful on Saturday and to be honest you can't rely on him to go through a match without a mistake these days, goals change the flow of games as well.

Chesney is and will always be a 3rd rate eastern european keeper. He is gob shite, I would say Fabianski is a more solid keeper. Cheseny thinks too much of himself and is over confident, but in reality is Rangers or Celtic standard.

I don't think any of the goals were really his fault - OK, he gave away the pen for the first but he was badly let down by the defence who let Villa just walk through us. There was that alarming incident when he went walkabout but he got away with it. We could do with a proper, quality 'keeper but it wouldn't be top of my shopping list.

Like you said though the penalty was his fault and he was lucky to get away with the walkabout. He's been making errors consistently for a while now, I personally think he's regressed (who can forget his awful performance for Poland in the Euros), he's got too cocky and his performances have been average, a decent goalkeeper will win you points ours has a tendency to lose us points if anything.

He needs to be dropped IMO, right now he's knows he's playing every game if he's not injured.
