As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

What about Simon Mignolet? He had a wicked season last year!!!
Mignolet has done fairly well in pre season but has admitted himself that he doesnt know whether he is ready for an extended run in the PL. What I wouldnt want to do is rush the lad straight into the side and expect him to stay there for at least 3 months- all it would take is a bad run of form and it could finish him. I think it would make more sense to get someone else in for 3 months and do what we intended to with Mignolet (play him in the league cup, give him some reserve games and, if the first choice keeper gets a knock or a suspension, let him play one or two games in the first team. I don't think a 3 month run would benefit the lad too much. Certainly seems a good prospect though
