Morning all, in the daily toilet rags we can see Mark Schwarzer has stated that he is having to "grin and bear it" at the moment but in January he is willing to force the issue to have his ambition of playing in the Champions League fulfilled.
I'm in two minds about Schwarzer, in one mind I've never been massively impressed with him. He's been solid over the years but he's never set the world on fire and no big club has ever shown an interest before. He's a signing borne of frustration and desperation from Wenger and they rarely are a success.
In the other he's got experience and he had a good season last year and the one before. He's 38 which ties in well with the youth we have coming through. But will Szczesny put up with being dropped back down the order again? He's running towards the end of his contract and I haven't heard any news about him signing yet.
So, do we gamble on youth, put our faith in Szczesny and promote him up to No 2 and drop the chase for Schwarzer or do we continue to block Szczesny's path which will probably make him go for a free?
I think a tribunal will protect us in this and we'll get a nominal fee but even so, it just seems daft. Kill off a potential long term solution to install a potential short term solution. In the history of knee-jerks, this one could be a corker.
Til next time Gooners
