The Arsenal fans cannot be too happy with Wenger and his first choice keeper Manuel Almunia after the latter had committed another stunt of his yesterday against West Brom at The Emirates, costing his side the game.
The Gunners fans are all fuming with one persistent question in mind: How much longer before ‘the boss’ realizes Arsenal are winning nada with Almunia guarding their net?
In fact even the Gunners former boss George Graham said that, and it’s now Wenger’s call to bring in a ‘top class’ keeper next January.
“I think if you’re going to really be realistic challengers for the Premiership you need a top top class goalkeeper,” Graham said in Five Live’s Sportsweek programme. “I think Almunia is a good goalkeeper, but there’s about half a dozen good goalkeepers in the Premier League. I think Arsenal need an outstanding goalkeeper.
“I think they should be looking all round the world, not just in England or Europe.”
However, contrary to Graham’s advise, Wenger IS looking in Europe, and precisely in England too, as he intends to up the bid on Liverpool’s Pepe Reina in hopes to lure the Spaniard out of Anfield by next January, according to the News of the World.
Wenger initially offered £15m for Liverpool to let go of their keeper, and is hoping Liverpool’s financial problems will force them to accept the cash when he comes back for another visit, especially if he tosses in £3-5m more.
