The reason we dont need a new keeper

Now many of you will call me crazy i may lose the respect of a few gooners here but i honestly belive we dont need a new keeper why do you ask? over half the goals we let in this year where from corners and set pieces not goal keeping errors (unless Almunia was in goal) personally i think a few bigger players this season and were sorted on all fronts.But the main reason i dont believe we need a a new keeper is are young pole Wojciech Szczesny i belive if he were playing for athletico Madrid man united would have in fact signed him this summer to replace edwin van der sar yes that is how highly i rate the lad.

Last season the pole spent last season on loan at brentford and proved to be the hit of a vastly improving league one earning rave reviews while keeping 9 clean sheets in the process he impressed so much brentford wanted him back on loan for another season but Arsene had already seen enough and was ready to bring him back to challenge for the first team. The best way to sum up his time at brentford is a quote from the man himself " brentford wasnt good for me i was good for brentford" although while i support his confidence but i feel the loan worked well for both side with Szczesny getting valuable first team experience and brentford getting a top class goal keeper.

For such a young player he has so much confidence but then as proved when Lehman retured to the team he was still willing to learn. half way through the season he won himself the right to be called arsenal number 1 and hasn't looked back since puting in a string of impressive performances most noticeable for me against Newcastle (Carling cup) and the barcelona first leg He has a strong belief, and has the nerve to cope with the pressure.That’s a big part in the job of a goalkeeper.” these comments were made after that game i believe these words to be true so often we see keeper make mistakes on the big stage some of the top can still bottle it.But what unforunantly the only game that will stick in some gooners minds will be the carling cup final last minute gaffe against Birmingham were the pole and kosser had a certain miss under standing leave the ball to end up in the back of the net i urge all arsenal fans not to judge this fine young goalkeeper on one mistake but he could be the next big thing so please give the boy a chance.
