Why not? we already have Mannone?
He does look shit, knowing Wenger if we do buy a keeper it will be him. I dont think Wenger likes players that are actualy proven. For fucks sake how many keepers has he had the chance to get????
WENGER OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im getting bannner made up for the Liverpool game! "Sign or fuck off"
Wenger was asked whether he wanted to sign Mertesacker, 25 and who played for Germany at the World Cup finals and has two years to run on his contract at Bremen. "There are people we consider and are analysing and we look at the financial possibilities," he replied. "We are still on the search for centre-halves. We have three and we need at least four."

Well, apparently Buffon has said Marchetti is his favourite young keeper. Whether or not thats just because he's as good as it gets for Italy at the moment, is yet to be seen... but from what I've seen (and its limited to YouTube videos so unreliable)... he at least is prepared to put his balls on the line and doesnt seem scared to get a boot in the head, which is more than I can say for Almunia & Flappy. With out lack or strength and height in the box we really need a keeper who can boss it and dominate (and has thumbs). If he can do that.. then not a bad purchase imo.
