Chesney for me - if there was another keeper from one of the smaller clubs in the league that I would accept as a replacement then it would be the dutch guy at swansea (vorm ?? :oops: )

Mind you,Krul has probably got the better peripheral vision/awareness bearing in mind his eyes are 3 miles apart!

Chesney. Krul is a good keeper but I wouldn't swap Chesney for anyone at present.

a goalkeeper is only as good as his defence, Peter Shilton is a primary example

Southall too, he used to say if he had to dive his defence wasn't doing their job. It's all about organisation.

FWIW, taking my Gooner goggles off, I would have to say Krul is the better of the two at present but that Szczeney has age on his side and should go on to be a top keeper. I will now put on my hard hat and prepare for colourful criticism!

I am a big fan of Szczesny and after the shit we had after Lehmann left its great we have a good keeper again.But he still has a lot to learn thats why we should sign an experienced back keeper so he can learn off them.Imagine trainng with the two clowns every day.
And it hurts me to say it look at the season Friedal has had at 40

Has to be Szczchsnxzcney. AW finally got round to selecting the right keeper and trusted him to deliver when many on this forum, me included, were calling for a more experienced Given-type signing.
