Which of course comes back to piss poor management. Why could no-one see it but us? Seriously??Sadly sums up the last decade in many ways. Talent allowed to develop delusions of grandeur and ultimately going backwards.

Re: Goalkeeping Situation
100%. It's hilarious how some fans get this rose tinted view of past players. Chesney was absolute toilet for most of his time with us. The same people say things like "Comedy Eboue wasn't that bad really". Bollocks. He was.northbank123 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 12, 2018 8:14 pmMight have been both of their egos that finished him at the club but his form had been in the toilet for so long that many fans were calling for him to be dropped for fabianski.

We haven't had a good keeper since the Lehmann arsehole and haven't had a great keeper since Seamo.
Re: Goalkeeping Situation
And why are people ignoring the fact that Szczesny was brilliant on loan for 2 years at Roma and managed to bench a world class goalie in Allison?
Perhaps the GK coaches at Roma were competent unlike Wenger's lot?
I'm convinced Szczesny would be successful under Emery and Javi Garcia (the new GK coach).
Unfortunately Juve will reap the rewards after we spent years developing him and letting him make his mistakes in an Arsenal shirt.

There's an old Oirish proverb... never let the truth stand in the way of a good story. Beggorah.
Re: Goalkeeping Situation
Always thought Scez was a decent keeper who won us more points than he cost us!DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:52 pmthe playing mantis wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:02 amjuve have signed genoa keeper as number 1 though...1989 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:20 amAnd why are people ignoring the fact that Szczesny was brilliant on loan for 2 years at Roma and managed to bench a world class goalie in Allison?

Let down by poor coaching and poor man management when he needed to be disciplined!
Had a terrible tournament for Poland around same time his Arsenal career was on the slide!
Wouldn’t want him back but we could do a lot worse !

Re: Goalkeeping Situation
What caused Chesney's career to go to shit with us was his arrogance sid. It got to a point with him where you'd see him in the tunnel before a game and if he had that stupid cocky grin on his face you just knew he was gonna have a mare and he inevitably would.goonersid wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 7:06 pmAlways thought Scez was a decent keeper who won us more points than he cost us!DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:52 pmthe playing mantis wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 11:02 amjuve have signed genoa keeper as number 1 though...1989 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:20 amAnd why are people ignoring the fact that Szczesny was brilliant on loan for 2 years at Roma and managed to bench a world class goalie in Allison?

It's too easy to blame every player's failing on Wenger. Some of them just were not good enough. Chesney was never a great keeper and was only seldom even a good keeper. He had a sprinkling of potential when he first came into the team and that quickly evaporated. Keepers more than any other position are judged more on their errors than anything else and the top Keepers minimise the errors in their game. Chesney like Flappy Almunia and Ospina were and are not top Keepers. Never were. Never will be.
Also - and this isn't aimed at anyone just a general comment - this love in with Chesney because he once said a few things that made him sound like a fan is embarrassing tbh....

Re: Goalkeeping Situation
Cant find the link, but there was a story doing the rounds earlier that some goalkeeping coach from geordieland was joining us - didnt emery bring a goalkeeping coach with him ?
Re: Goalkeeping Situation
I thought he was getting the GK coach that he had at PSG. Sure it was in the papers a while back.

So no truth in the rumour that SK wanted Bob Wilson to do the job part time on the cheap
