[Simon Collings] Arsenal are weighing up a shock move to bring Wojciech Szczesny back to Emirates Stadium, as they brace themselves for the departure of Aaron Ramsdale.
– Arsenal are expected to lose several homegrown players this summer including Ramsdale and would like to sign a new number 2 that has homegrown status
– Szczesny is a possible option that would classify as homegrown and Juventus are open to selling him
– A deal for Szczesny would be complicated due to his wages as he earns £100,000 per week after tax and it is unknown if he would be willing to accept being no2 to Raya
– Jason Steele of Brighton is another Arsenal may target who also played with Raya at Blackburn
– Arsenal have scouted 22 year old Ajax GK Ramaj but he would be reluctant to move if he’s not going to be the number 1
– Newcastle are front runners for Ramsdale
– Current homegrown players: Ramsdale, Nketiah, Nelson, ESR and Hillson could all leave this summer
– Arsenal want to sign a forward, midfielder and defender this summer as a priority.

If Woj is happy to be a #2 keeper – I’m happy with this

I heard the other day we’d stopped this because of his wages?
Either way, it’s a like for like replacement with Ramsdale. Szczesny isn’t the calm collective Raya type, that’s for sure, so I’m a bit confused with regards to the profile.
Would still love him to return

Bring back Wojciech as no2 and Lukasz as no3!

Will be honest, he was my favorite GK during the Emirates era and a monster at saving penalties + Kiwi also gets a friend.

Homegrown too ? Smoking in the showers is not the estandards Woj. Suppose in this day and age he might have a lost Mary
MystericWonder on
Wasn’t this debunked because Woj would demand too much wages
OstapBenderBey on
He can be a good influence on the younger players. By teaching them how to smoke in the showers

Steele would make more sense potentially. Presumably cheaper as he’s basically now their #2, even if it’s Brighton, and he’s very calm and good with his feet, so even if he’s not a great shot stopper, we can still play our style.

I’d take Travers as no2, I think he has a lot potential and Bournemouth also have Neto.

would be nice, we need money for on field players

I don’t believe it’ll happen, but I would love to see him back. One of my favourite ever players. In goal when we beat Barca.
csixtay on
Did he ever get good with his feet?

It’ll happens again )

Would be a great move. Home grown as well
Top_Poet_8988 on
He will only have 1 year remaing on his contract starting next window, so we could get him for cheap he really wants to move back here.He probably hase a lot of suitors in US and middle east for one last big paycheck.

I thought about a while back. I looked up Szczesny’s contract, it expires in 2025. It would be a bit much to expect him to sign a new deal with higher or equal to his Juve wages. 2 year deal at 120k or so wouldn’t be a bad offer though?
I wonder if he’d accept just playing in cups. I know keepers are always challenging each other but would prefer just to back Raya than throwing him into another fight for the #1 too. Especially against a 34 year old.

what % of the PL’s ‘keepers are *ex-Arsenal*? well it’s NOT ENOUGH! xx

I am all over this.

Not bringing him back after his smoking ban exodus was one of if not the biggest mistake of the late Wenger era. All the keepers we have gone through since then, all that could have been avoided and Martinez wound not have won the WC (little twat).

Would gladly have him back!
Gphixson on
Let’s all get the cigarettes and showers ready… but for real that would be a great signing if Woj doesn’t mind being a backup
Empty_Ad_4630 on
His departure remains a mistake in my opinion. He was mistake prone but world class on his day
Masson011 on
Saw this a lot earlier in the morning and apparently it’s already pretty dead due to his wage demands
Monsultant on
Have a lot of love for Polich boys Szczesny and Fabianski. Even though it didn’t quite work out for them at Arsenal, but, both went to have great careers.
milkonyourmustache on
I doubt this goes ahead. He’s probably on the shortlist but he’s a top keeper who wouldn’t want to be riding the bench to make up the numbers of ‘homegrown’ players.
gooneritis on
How comfortable is he playing with his feet?

Would be amazing. Whoever we bring has to come in to challenge raya. Ramsdales best was when Leno was on his ass. When he saw Turner was no threat his performances dropped. Can’t have that happen with raya.
