The reality is we haven't signed one top top class keeper and all of them were relatively cheap (Wright was highly rated when we signed him but that didn't work out), compare that to other top clubs and it's very different, a top keeper plays for years at the top level, we seem to prefer to pay less and chop and change.

The guys we're being linked with now are the same, cheaper options who aren't proven, so far that's not worked out well, you either haveot be very lucky to find a top keeper who isn't top class already, or have a brilliant scouting team like Atletico who seem to find top players that aren't that well known all the time.
Yep, as long as Wenger remains in charge I don't think we will make any significant investments in the defensive areas of the team.

Wenger has neglected that side of the team pretty much his entire tenure...he got away with it in the early days for obvious reasons...but over the last 10 years it's been dud after dud.

What makes things worse is that in recent times when he has spent a bit more than usual in defence and midfield he has got it wrong.

He spent 70million combined on Xhaka and Mustafi, my god...he really did get that wrong.
