I would make my final decision on Ospina after his second or third season . But from what I have seen so far , he is a very good stopper for me . But Szczesny is a good keeper for a middle table team just like Fabriansky . If I were Wenger I could have started to give more games to Emiliano Martinez . He is younger but better than Szczesny .
I disagree look at the goals Colombia conceded in the World Cup at least two of them Ospina was beaten too easily at his near post, just like many of the goals he has been at fault for playing for us. Szczesny has gone off the reservation completely but there is no doubt he is a naturally better keeper than Ospina who apart from anything else is too small.
Anyway don't listen to me, listen to Bob Wilson who thinks the same as me and knows far more about what it takes to be a top goalkeeper than you or I.
