Not another Wenger blind spot
Steven Howard in today’s Sun no less, has piled onto the bandwagon marked ‘Arsenal goalkeeping crisis’ and let rip. Howard writes:
“They have four goalkeepers on the books - Vito Mannone, Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski and teen Wojciech Szczesny - and none, for one reason or other, look up to the job.”
before making the stunning claim
“In fact, you would be hard pushed to find a Premier League club WITHOUT a better keeper than the four at Arsenal.”
Well thespoiler has been scratching itself having a good think this morning, and we reckon maybe Chelsea and Birmingham City are the only clubs without a better keeper than Arsenal - your thoughts below please…

hilario is a brilliant keeper, the games he’s played so far. It’s just cech hasn’t been put in his place yet.
ross turnbull is admittly not good enough though, and cech is his current form is not. Hilario however is really good!

Arsenal have a terrible GK situation because they took a GK who was a journeyman and 2nd string keeper for his whole career and thought he was the best in England. Then he got sick and we played a young Italian with no first team experience. What did you expect? We went from England #1 to Germany #1 to Spain OUTCAST!

Sam - If you didn’t notice Jens Lehman was Germany’s # 2. Comming in behind Oliver Kahn for his whole career. Sad story.

Incorrect, Vlad. While it did take a while, Lehmann was Germany’s #1 at the 2006 World Cup and the 2008 Euros.

I have the solution. I’m surprised Arsene hasn’t made the moves on this kid yet. He has huge potential as you can see and he comes with great footballing pedigree plus I’m sure Arsene knows his dad quite well.
