Just one more problem atop Arsenal’s mounting pile

Arsenal goalkeeping issue just another crisis...

Last summer, Arsenal sold Wojciech Szczesny after he had established himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in Serie A. Szczesny had left the Emirates a boy but had become a man. Arsenal had used the loan system to perfection, but then wasted the benefit.

That move would have made sense if Arsenal had two other in-form goalkeepers, but they didn’t then and still don’t. Petr Cech has been declining rapidly over the last two years, while David Ospina has rarely been fit for purpose.
