Wasn't a great keeper but he was loyal to the club so he's a Gooner. If he's smart he has enough cash tucked away to deal with this. Good luck to him.

Sad to hear about Almunia. Have a long and great life ahead!![]()
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I always thought Almunia was OK. The season we nearly won the league he was in goal and when we did fall apart it wasn't because of him.
Point being he wasn't far from being the 'keeper in a title winning side.
Season after that he did get a bit crap though and never recovered.
In brief, best wishes to him.
A big Mesut Ozil interview in the Telegraph:
He doesn't normally say a lot so it's worth a read.
“It’s so strange. The negative criticism came out of nowhere: it went from zero to 100. I went from being the darling of German football, the jewel in the crown, to being hammered in the media.“I’m one of the best players in the world in that No 10 position,’’ said Özil. “Fans, coaches, players and everyone knows that my best position is playmaker.I know what I can do and in the past few years I’ve shown that I belong to the select group of best players in the world as a No 10. What’s important is that the manager gives me his trust and in Joachim Löw and Arsène Wenger I have two managers who do exactly that. Both coaches know that my favourite position is the No 10. I’ve played on the left in a World Cup and for Arsenal but my best performances come as a 10.”Lots more: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...y-matters.htmlHe noted the talents around him such as Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey. “What Jack definitely has is big potential. If he stays fit, Jack has a big future because he has a lot of quality. Theo is a big player at this club. Theo is a player you can send clear because he is so quick and has a very good final product. Ramsey is really important for Arsenal, really impressive, great on the ball. We can achieve something big this season.”
Arsene, hint: Better lose the '4-1-4-1 Ozil wide-left' formation.

Arshavin's best position was the no.10 position. We know what happened to him..
Ozil aka Arshavin mk II is going the same way.
