George Graham – Be realistic, Arsenal need a new keeper

The ex-Arsenal manager George Graham thinks it is obvious that the Gunners are not going to be good enough to challenge for the top honours unless they replace Manuel Almunia with a top-class goalkeeper, and he doesn’t think they should just be looking at Mark Schwarzer.

Graham said: “I think if you’re going to really be realistic challengers for the Premier League you need a top, top-class goalkeeper.

“I think Almunia is a good goalkeeper but there’s about half a dozen good goalkeepers in the Premier League.

“Arsenal need an outstanding goalkeeper. I think they should be looking all round the world, not just in England or Europe.”

The rumours about new goalkeepers are starting to return already, with yesterday’s story about Wenger bidding for Liverpool’s Pepe Reina. I also read the other day that the Nigerian keeper Vincent Enyeama is in the last eight months of his contract. Can you guess which one I think he will go for!
