Almunia anyone?

[Max Paper]

This is a player who spent about three seasons as Arsenal's number one keeper, I think he's a bit better than Brezovan or Ankergren. I think people have unrealistic expectations of keepers sometimes, or maybe they're just easily panicked. I think Brezovan has been mostly fine since he came back into the team, but when he's been bad he's been very very bad. We just need someone more consistent I think.

I hear you but at 34 years old you should be in your prime as a goal keeper and there is a reason he's 3rd choice at Arsenal and that is he is a liability. I agree 100% with your comment on him being better (a lot to be fair) than out current keepers but someone like Tomasz Kuszczak who is number 3 at Man U would be cheaper, a better long term prospect and in my opinion more reliable. I actually have to pinch myself that we are even discussing players of this caliber, the future is SO exciting!

Definitely prefer Kuszczak. Even though he conceded 2 against us, he looked a very comfortable keeper on the night.

I am sure I read somewhere that Kuszczak is going to Ipswich but Watford were still trying to get him to sign for them as he is out of contract.

What is Richard Wright doing now?

If he's out of contract (I didn't know this) then get Gus on the phone to him sharpish

 

[Blue Goon]

He is an accident waiting to happen, the only person in the world who thought he was any good was Arsene Wenger. He cost The Arsenal loads of points and made decent defenders complete nervous wrecks.

Steer well clear of him.

Maybe he has? Who knows?

You could say the same things about Kuszczak as about Almunia, thing is we're probably not going to get a keeper who's going to be good enough to get in Arsenal's team. That's ok though since we're not Arsenal. I'd take Kuszczak as well, even though I'd have to learn how to spell it, I don't see why he'd be much easier to get than Almunia though. Both long term Premier League goalkeepers at top 4 clubs... both coming out of contract. Who knows what wages they were on or what they'd ask for, but they're players of similar stature.

I've just got a feeling we'll sign a big name keeper like this in the Summer. gus will know it's something we really need. What about (sp) Kushack from Man u - is he out of contract...? Looked class the other night...

I saw it on Twitter but have just Googled it. I know it's the Daily Mail! but

Would rather us invest in a britsh keeper that will be in the spine of our team for years to come.

ot the coccyx perhaps?

 

[Perkino]

I'd rather not risk him, he can be woeful. How about Joe Lewis?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Well he looks like he might just fit in.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I could see Gus doing what Swansea did and bring in a keeper playing abroad, Vorm cost them £1.5 million and is one of the best keepers in the prem.

Is that meant to be ironic?! Lewis is a calamity.

 

[Simster]

£74k a week?

Sounds like he'd be ideal for Portsmouth's league one title assault next season.

 

[bennibenj]

I see Almunia is leaving Arsenal this summer but says he wants to stay playing in England. The ideal candidate for Albion.................?

do it
