Emiliano Viviano (official)

[Cripps_orig]

NEW KEEPER AT ARSENAL
Italy football writer James Horncastle: "For Arsenal fans right now, it's all about Mesut Ozil and rightly so, but let's briefly turn our attention to Emiliano Viviano, goalkeeper of Serie B side Palermo who they're expected to sign on loan.

"The 27-year-old was once one of the most promising shot stoppers in Italy and, along with the now Paris Saint-Germain number one Salvatore Sirigu, stood in for the injured Gigi Buffon during the Azzurri's initial qualifiers for Euro 2012.

"After shining at Brescia and then Bologna, he joined Inter where the plan was to groom him as Julio Cesar's successor. Unfortunately it never worked out that way. Viviano tore a ligament and since then has struggled to recover his best form, even at hometown club Fiorentina, where he spent last season on loan."

Injury prone and shit

Welcome home

Chesney will develop into a beast of a GK this season so this is just back up. Don't really care about backup GKs tbh, can't be that much worse than any of the other top sides

The main reason ches has been so shit cos he has no competition.

A shit back up will not provide that

Almost exactly right. I think the key point you are missing is Koscielny who was almost single handedly responsible for us keeping a clean sheet in that game against the spuds.
