With the transfer window approaching soon and the French manager Arsene Wenger seems willing to change things up a bit and finally put Arsenal back where it deserves to be, so there might be massive changes at Arsenal in the summer.
Rumours have it that with goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski due to leave, the manager is also looking for somebody who can replace him, but instead of looking for a reserve for Szczesny, he’s looking for somebody who can be able to fight the Pole tooth and nail for the first team spot.
Fabianski has grown frustrated with the lack of playing time he had since his last injury which saw Szczesny move on the first place in Wenger’s eyes. Now Lukas is due to have a change in scenery and he’s not out of offers, being highly likely to leave in the summer.
According to the rumours, Wenger’s watching two of Europe’s goalkeepers. One of them is Swansea’s Michel Vorm, who has impressed this season and at the age of 28 he might be in for the most important switch of his career.
The other target is Bayern Leverkusen’s goalkeeper Rene Adler, who has had an excellent season despite his team’s downfall this year. This would be a good addition for the Gunners, but according to rumours they’ll first have to fight off interest from Hamburg SV.
Do you think that a new goalkeeper is needed at the club?
Definitely we need another “rival” to keep Szczesny on his toes, as he occasionally seemed to show some carelessness.
yes szczesny cost us points this season.
yes we need..he thinks he is supreme…we need to show it by buying an top class GK
OH YES! WE DEFINITELY NEED ONE…..HE WAS TOO CARELESS IN THE LAST HOME GAME!!!
SILLY QUESTION!!
Problem is who is going to be happy sitting on the bench? both Scz and Vorm are perfectly capable of being starting goalies for most teams so why would one really opt to be bench fodder while the other plays week in, week out?
They’re both very young for keepers so they have alot to look forward to and they will go where they will get alot of game time to keep competitive for their national team as well.
This is a terrible tactic for goalkeeping because someone is going to be pissed and will want to leave. We all know of Wenger’s recent record of being able to keep players.
No, the better tactic is to find a much older but still capable goalkeeper who knows that they will be there to push the starting keeper but is still on point when called upon. A Brad Friedel type would have been a good buy where he’s still consistently good when needed but at the same time is getting to the age where they understand that they are not going to be the long term successor.
He should give Vito a chance
