[Football] Łukasz Fabiański

[Guy Crouchback]

The FA Cup final today will be Fabiański's last game for Arsenal. He decided not to prolong his contract, because he wants regular first team football, and will be able to leave the Emirates Stadium in the summer. He might be a good replacement for Kuszczak. Lukasz won 21 caps for Poland, and is Polish NT's third GK after Szczęsny and Boruc.



If he was given a chance to play regularly, he would be able to realise his full potential. Moreover, Albion wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee for him, and he is so hungry for first team football that I'm quite sure his expectations regarding wages would be far from exorbitant.

Well we wouldn't have to change the Big Pole in our Goal chant. He'll have to be called PIG2

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Well at least I would be able to spell his name without googling it every time..

 

[Colossal Squid]

I'd love to, but if we couldn't afford to keep Koosh then what hope do we have of landing Fabianski?

 

[Guy Crouchback]

Fabianski is 3 years younger than Kuszczak, and really hungry for first team football, so I don't think money is the most important thing for him now (after 7 years in Arsenal he probably doesn't have trouble making ends meet). Besides, realistically - BHAFC is doomed to play in PL eventually. It really makes sense to approach Fabiański now.

No idea what our chances would be but he would be a great replacement for TK. Sign him up!

Wasn't him leaving more a case of his wanting to leave rather than The Albion not being able to afford him?

All I seem to remember about the guy when he did play were the horrendous howlers he was prone to make, but at that level you do not get time to make up for your mistakes. However, for us he could do a good job for a while at least. Not sure about the wages though.

I'm not sure it was either, but it definitely wasn't him wanting to leave. We didn't offer him a new deal. Presumably we think we can get better (or at least better value).

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

I would probably be happy with that. Massive shame to let big Tom go though as I really liked and rated him

He stated he wanted to play in the Prem, though who for as first choice baffles me.
Maybe he has fallen out with the club lately, the arguments with Bruno (who is being offered another contract) and the couple of Saturday sickness and being sent home.
Perhaps the rumour, when Casper took over with Walton on the bench, about Koosh and Pete hungover (Pete has gone as well) may have had some truth in it.
Having watched Koosh at Derby last week he looked totally disinterested.

 

[backson]

Are we still wanting this?!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Nah, you're alright. Not for me.

 

[Guy Crouchback]

From what I saw the first goal was an unlucky deflection, and there was nothing he could do to stop the second.

 

[pasty]

A lot of Arsenal fans I know refer to him as FLAPianski

 

[Guy Crouchback]

I don't think there are any genuine Arsenal fans referring to him like that, especially that his saves brought them to the FA Cup final, giving them the chance to win their first trophy in 9 years.

how do you know we couldn't afford koosh?

A lot of Arsenal fans that I know have f*ck all knowledge of football. Only one of them talks sense. Obviously it isn't an indication of the entire fanbase.

I'd take him, he's still got his best years left and would be awesome at this level. Plus we can still call him PIG.

Definitely looks like Joey from Friends more like. Surely Matt Le Blanc would be cheaper than Fabianski. "How you doin'?"
