Arsene Wenger confirmed over the weekend who we have known all summer. Manuel Almunia is no longer his first choice goalkeeper.
Wenger told Arsenal.com
“At the moment, in pre-season, there is no number one – you have to give a chance to everyone to show how good he is. You cannot decide that today.”
It is no secret that Arsenal are in the market for a new goalkeeper. Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer is the most likely signing, but I would not overlook Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey who has suddenly became available.

AW has done this before, he stated in last season that Almunia was not his number 1 but he then went on and persisted with him in Goal. I have a funny leaving that he will not sign a keeper and push the kid with the name ( scezny .. I think) into the deep end. Keep Almunia and Fabianski as back up. Call me crazy but this is just a gut feeling.
Thats good PAPA…its a wise decision.
