Speaking of noticing strikers I only just realised Isak was on the pitch.
They never seemed to consider him as a viable option. He was on loan pretty. Cunt his entire time there, staying only year to be their number 2 the year they got rid of cech and ospina but still barely played. the following year he was sold to villa. He played only about 10 games for them in something approaching 10 years.
I donāt know whether it was just a case of failing to see what they had - judging the level,of readiness of a keeper in your youth/reserves is notoriously tough - or whether he did improve once he got to villa but it took him no time after that for him to establish himself as the Argentina #1

Ah but you didnāt get a Cher pun did you?
He struck me as pretty good before he left Arsenal, certainly better than those they have been signing or already had so i wonder if there was a personality clash that prompted the sale.
Well Lego man has a habitā¦

Wikipedia has him having played quite a few games towards the end of 2020, when he was already 27, and would be 28 a few months later having won the FA Cup with Arsenal.
The funniest part is they had Leno ahead of him, but then sold Leno in 2022 having left him on the bench for a season after buying Ramsdale in 2021, only to buy Raya 2 seasons after and benching Ramsdale.
He seemed to fall out with Ramsdale as well.

Yeah they bought him as a 20 year old and that was the first year they didnāt loan him out so almost all his games came in that spell.
Like you point out, their judgement is maybe less questionable for how long they took to give him a shot given who else was on the books, but who they thought was worth spending money on instead of playing him

Great goal from Villa front to back
He is one of those with a fat arse that are hard to get around and get the ball off
Newcastle have to win this for a chance at the title.

Can they find their way?
Do Sky just invent new stats for the sake of it. Successful passes since 2 - 1 whats that about.
