So I've been thinking about it a lot this morning and I'm starting to reconcile the idea that we won't bring in a new keeper this summer. I believe Havertz will be our final incoming. Similarly to the Declan Rice transfer, I think we will wait until next summer to bring someone in there.

Can see the club giving Kepa one last chance, seeing if he improves with a much better team in front of him, and assess the options in either January or this time next summer. 

Just the fact that no super reliable roporter has linked us with anyone in particular tells me nothing is close. The Romano's and Di Marzio's of the world sniff these things out well in advance. That combined with there being no real clear destination for Kepa to go.

Yeah, but at the very least they surely need to be looking at someone like Foster to be GK2? Willy really should be GK3 so he is needed even if we keep Kepa and roll the dice.

If we sell some players, I think there will be more incoming.

The problem is that we do not sell. Ross Barkley is still here, Emerson still here, Alonso still here, AC is also here. BAKOYOKO will probably just go out on loan. Why we are not selling anyone is a mystery to me.

It's more important for us to sort as many incomings as possible first with the short turnaround for the new season.

I think over the next couple of weeks will be when we see some players move on, and there may also be a bit more panic and desperation for some clubs to do business as the season starts which may flip the current market from a buyers one to a sellers one, of course to our benefit.

Id think so too, but there have been rumours about Lamps being done with Kepa...take it with pinch of salt but if anyhow true we are getting a new GK. Plus all the rumours this summer were legit. I doubt Maignan, Onana are bs by media. 

I mean why would we bring all these players in one window and stick with GK that will guarantee no titles? Like I said it before, good GK is the foundation to any team and that is our main problem.

Doubt it. We'll need to sell to also balance the books.

Just saw on Twitter that Martinez wants out at Arse because Arteta wants Leno as his #1. We should be all over that.

Emiliano Martinez for sale (maybe even below 10m). I think this could be a decent stop-gap option. He looked comfortable as Arsenal #1 and has good handling

Would be an amazing signing

I have watched him this season a couple of times and he is a very clumsy GK. I would not sign him. Rather go for Martinez

Disagree, too risky to sign him based on a months form.

He has made many world class saves in PL against Pool and Spurs for instance.

He is 195 cm tall, has a big frame due tue his muscles and insane jumping abilities. He also is very dominant in the air and he improved his technical abilities.

10 million is nothing. Onana has weaknesses, but costs 30 million, Mendy is not perfect either.

And in June 2022 (2 years time) is PARTY time for all of us because most of the dross including Drinkwater, Emerson, Zappacosta, Kenedy, Christensen, Bakayoko and Baba Rahman are all outta here

Want to bet? I know you've been watching our squad management approach, we all have, but I don't think you are fully accepting just how committed the club is to its methods.

Why does Arse want to flock him out then? Leno is good GK, but I never rated him outstanding. So Martinez should definately get the chance at least if he is this good.

Yeah Onana has flaws, he can be frustrating and didnt have great season in eredivisie like last year. But there is upside with him. Same with Maignan.

Honestly this GK situation doesnt have a clear cut winner. Everyone we have been linked has weaknesses. Even Oblak for instance. 

I just hope we make good decision here. Kepa isnt the answer either IMO.

Arsenal fans do not want him out. Look at Twitter. Some are furious that Arsenal are willing to sell him. Leno came in for 25 million Euros and is a bigger name than Martinez.
Martinez wants to leave because he wants to be no. 1 and he has shown his insane potential in PL. Not Eredivisie, not Ligue 1 He showed it in Pl. I do not see any real worrying weakness.

Most still prefer Bernd. And Martinez didnt perform long enough to be evaluated like that. Surely he is an option, but who knows if its what we need. That said for 10m risk wouldnt be big.

IMO if Lopes was taller, he would be my pick and we would have GK set for few years.
