But I can genuinely say he caught every single cross he went for in those 10-12 games he played for us after the restart. It became a bit weird to me that he was so consistent on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm not sure it's possible to over-estimate the importance of this signing. It might very well be the one we turn out to be most happy about in quite a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly enough. A basic thing like that is something we've struggled with in the past. It's why we brought in Heaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton is/was a great signing for us last year, but his season finishing injury in Jan did us over. Edited September 13, 2020 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 My only doubt is from that 5-5 against Liverpool. Wasn’t he shocking in that game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t he shocking in that game? Not his finest hour. But after Emery was sacked, Arteta brought in Inaki Cana, formerly Brentford’s GK coach, and neither Martinez nor Leno have looked back. Cana has had a big impact on Emi’s improvement. Incidentally, we are looking at David Raya from Brentford as Martinez’s replacement on Cana’s recommendation. We also have an Icelandic keeper on the radar, who also worked with Cana before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what they are supposed to do and is payed for? I know. And those wingers that can cross, and the strikers that score goals. Next time I hear anyone want a defender that can win headers I will go ape shit. Let alone anyone asking for a midfielder to be creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerialThreat Posted September 13, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2020 The term “good shot stopper” is generally reserved for the bang average keeper who can’t do anything else except the basics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I personally thought calling a keeper a good shot stopper means he is excels at it. It’s just a football phrase. If you have to then say every keeper should be a good shop stopper then you have taken the phrase too literally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I said it near the start of this thread, and seeing as we are imminently about to announce this, I'll say it again.. He was the best keeper in the Premier League since project restart (I'm sad and watched every game as they were all televised) Genuinely think in 5 years we'll be saying he's the best 'keeper we ever had, wish I could bookmark this post to bring it up again in a few years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - I don’t think we anticipated that they’d play hardball - reckon we thought we could get him for sub £10m. Thats’s why this Icelandic guy is now being linked as well.
