I think Wenger actually believes Flappy and Almunia are class acts. Fans opinions don't count, obviously.

It wasnt just the fans opinions mate.......wenger tried to sign a keeper 4 months ago and said all summer that he didnt know his number 1 keeper is so that aint exactly a ringing endorsement is it ? He fcuks about and fcuks about and suddenly the transfer window is closed and he spews out his usual bullshit excuses

It's all so simple augie. Wenger tries to buy a 37 yr old first choice from another prem club to become what...understudy to Almunia or Fabianski? No, it was clearly to aloww one of our younger keepers to flourish outside the limelight and keep things steady until then.

Now, if there's no back-up plan then it is a fuck up and Wenger will have to be blamed for knowingly let us go into the rest of the season with a weaker team - when he had the power to change it.

We bought 2 CB's, and a striker we badly needed. All of them were at the right price and at the right stage of the career. I think we are only second to City in terms of strengthening.

Schwarzer is 37, he's not the best in the league, not at the right price, so if Wenger finds this deal as a bad one, why should he make it.

I agree Almunia is not good enough, but if Wenger thinks signing Schwarzer isn't going to get this club forward, and can't find another keeper with attributes sufficient to Arsenal (Prem experince, price, age), than I can understand why we didn't sign one.

WTF are you talking about? He's bid for him twice!

Sorry but your post doesn't make sense!

Wenger should have been sacked, certainly after this embarrassment, if we fail due to goalkeeping he sould be removed instantly after the final game of the season.

Obviously it won't happen, we are left in trouble once more.

As for supporting Almunia, he played well vs Blackburn fair dues, but that doesn't erase his shiteness for the last 4 years and the fact he is a spineless *word censored*.

Finally, a voice of reason. You "fans" need to wake up. You cant just sign someone, you need 2 partys who are willing to do a deal, Wenger has done superb in the transfer market this summer, he has obviously been after a keeper, if we dont sign one, then we dont sign one, we get behind Almunia and support our club. Not sarcastically applaud everytime our keepers do something good, not make them feel the negativity when there in goal for us. Maybe if they recieved some support we might get the best out of them.

Wenger kept Fabregas at this club, where other managers have failed to keep there better players from the lure of Spain. He's signed a champions league quality striker, and 2 center backs where needed strengthening. Get over yourselfs

Sadly this would have been a good window if he just signed a keeper.
Makes me even more pissed off that he didn't.

John Cross is full of shite as well.

Apparently, it's the voice of reason according to AFC Wozza. He obcviously didnt read that bit...

It's simple costâ€“benefit analysis.

Arsene wouldn't buy Schwarzer for more than 2 mil, which he thinks is a valid price for him. Like Barcelona wouldn't pay 60 million for Cesc.

Having watched the Barca' match at the weekend and over the past few years, my opinion of Victor Valdes is that he's very 'average' and I wouldn't consider him a 'keeper I'd want at Arsenal, but still Barca' do well. This may be because he has an outstanding group of players in front of him, that minimise the work he has to do.

As our squad matures, grows, improves, however you want to put it, the stronger our defensive side will be, giving the 'keepers more confidence which is a key aspect of any good goalie. Hey presto, we have two or three top class number 1's.

No worries

Read what he wrote.. If Wenger thought that Â£2m was the right price for Schwarzer, then why would he go any higher? If there is not a keeper who is AVAILABLE, how can he sign one?

We were short in defence last season, numerically we've replaced Gallas and Campbell with Kos and Squilacci. Numbers aside, seen nothing yet from Kos to suggest he's anywhere near Gallas or Campbell and no-one knows what level Squilacci is at. We badly needed Chamakh last Jan when Bendtner was fit. Now Bendtner is out alongside the permanently injured RVP we're STILL short up front.

We have far from strenghtened.

Bullshit, that's got nothing to with it - you remember this:

but if Wenger thinks signing Schwarzer isn't going to get this club forward,

If Wenger doesn't think Schwarzer is going to get this club forward, why did he twice bid for him?
