He really is incredible. Amazing handling. I wish we’d be in for him but Villa would ask for too much.
Yes and it isn't even close.Best keeper in the league this season?
West Ham at home when he chucked in the two Lingard goals was his worst performance by a mile.Every keeper I think of has made absolutely huge blunders
I'm trying to think if Ederson has but the rest definitely have. Not sure if Martinez has though, he always looks commanding
He's actually made quite a few over the last few years but this season in particular I think there was one against Leeds.Every keeper I think of has made absolutely huge blunders

If that was his worst then you guys got a... KeeperWest Ham at home when he chucked in the two Lingard goals was his worst performance by a mile.
Someone at club needs to do showreel of his saves this season as it would be some watch. Old fashioned part of me loves how he actually catches crosses instead of punching them clear as majority of keepers do nowadays.
Yeah I remember the last few seasons including a few against usHe's actually made quite a few over the last few years but this season in particular I think there was one against Leeds.
Brighton were rumoured as rivals when we were in to get him so he could've helped push them into top half like he has here.Can't believe Everton didn't sign him.
SnapWhat do you guys think of Sanchez at Brighton? Is it all about his height?
Watched B&H on TV a few times, I really like their brand of football, more so than ours or Leeds who many rave about!
had one game recently where he let in two goals when there were question marks. Only ones though. One concern? He’s barely played a PL game in front of a crowd.Every keeper I think of has made absolutely huge blunders

We needed the money and it helped us buy Partey.Arsenal let this guy go![]()
Why couldn't you sell Leno?We needed the money and it helped us buy Partey.
I was sad to see him go but even after his form this season I still think selling him was the right move.
Because he was their player of the season? I mean both Leno and Martinez are really good keepers (Leno has turned out much better than I thought he would when he joined), Martinez is having a better season this time but while he's number 1 in the EPL in PSxG - Goals Conceded per 90 (+0.3), Leno is not far behind at number 6 (+0.2).Why couldn't you sell Leno?
I never knew this and I never knew Martinez was a later career bloomer like Vardy.Because he was their player of the season?

Last season and the season before, Leno was number 4 in the EPL in the same statistic (+0.21 and +0.13). Leno's been a consistent keeper since joining Arsenal, especially the last two seasons, and therefore it made sense that they stick with him given that he's been consistent for longer than Martinez has been.
One thing Martinez definitely has over Leno is stopping crosses, where he's more confident, while Leno sweeps more than Martinez does.

The worry was that it might have just been a purple patch for Martinez. This season has shown it wasn't, but selling Leno and keeping a Martinez who'd only had a good 6 months was riskier than the opposite.I never knew this and I never knew Martinez was a later career bloomer like Vardy.
As a neutral in that final year when Leno vs Martinez were competing for the No1 spot it looked very obvious to me who was the more commanding presence as a goalkeeper.
When Arsenal sold Martinez and kept Leno I was shocked.
It felt like Arsenal kept the player with bigger name, the player that previously had a better career - even though to me it was obvious from that season on that Martinez was the better GK.
Thing is the everyone could see he was better than Leno, everyone apart from the people at Arsenal though it seemsWait for the celebration at the end. Arsenal really blundered letting him go.

It was one of the weirdest transfer outs I’ve seenThing is the everyone could see he was better than Leno, everyone apart from the people at Arsenal though it seems
Please, even Arsenal could see he was better than Leno. But was he 20m better? No, he wasn't.Thing is the everyone could see he was better than Leno, everyone apart from the people at Arsenal though it seems
So Leno is worth £0?Please, even Arsenal could see he was better than Leno. But was he 20m better? No, he wasn't.
Too high wages, would've left on a free after a couple of loans. He still might mind you, but at least we got 20m for Martinez. And as someone who's watched both of them, the difference between them isn't that much. Martinez is better in the box, Leno is the better shot stopper.So Leno is worth £0?
Why couldnt you have gone with Martinez as number 1 and sold Leno?Too high wages, would've left on a free after a couple of loans. He still might mind you, but at least we got 20m for Martinez.

You can only sell the keeper there has been bids for to be fair. And it was Martinez making demands backing the club into a corner.Why couldnt you have gone with Martinez as number 1 and sold Leno?
I think its pretty clear that if Leno had been made available a club would have offered money for himYou can only sell the keeper there has been bids for to be fair. And it was Martinez making demands backing the club into a corner.
There's been talk he might want out this summer & not seen any clubs linked so far, never mind any bids.I think its pretty clear that if Leno had been made available a club would have offered money for him
Think that was always a loan. Ryan is apparently off to Spain last I've seen.Did Arsenal sign Matt Ryan on a permanent in the end or is that Icelandic kid back up to number 2 again?
Matt Ryan going to Sociedad, the Icelandic kid looks like going to Turkey, we want a new keeper, preferably home grown apparently. Been linked to Lookman, Ramsdale, Johnstone but also Onana & Neto.Did Arsenal sign Matt Ryan on a permanent in the end or is that Icelandic kid back up to number 2 again?
