Welcome Ilan Meslier!

Burnwinter put it this way, if Meslier goes on to have even half the career Kepa has had then he’ll have done well.

Dom

Honestly, if the worst happens and Raya gets injured at a crucial moment, a dodgy keeper can derail a season. I remember the very dark days of Richard Wright where we threw away multiple games purely because of his performances. Meslier has a similar jittery disposition and soft hands.

Kepa going is fine but Meslier as second choice is poor.

He'd definitely be a weak second choice but so was Kepa. Its probably an area we need to look at properly. Liverpool and City have had strong back ups for years.

Burnwinter

Maybe this is a case of "the way I see it I've got two #2s" and Kepa won't actually leave 🤷‍♂️

What we've seen summer after summer is that the ranks of our keepers usually change, but Iñaki Caña remains

Just from his physical appearance, I cannot see him being a serious player. Another Runarsson. Don't know what we're playing at.

Dom Meslier is the worst goalkeeper I've seen in this league in years. Out of the ones from the past popping into my head, I can only think of Taibi as worse.

You forgetting Runnarson?

As a first-choice goalkeeper Meslier is one of the worst in a long time.

FantasticMrFox

I’m sure he is coming in as second choice. Kepa will leave.

Lukazan

Klaus Yarp.

Kepa will 100% leave. He's not going to fight it out to be a #2.. He can go somewhere that he can have a chance to be a #1 goalie. This is a pretty weak backup keeper signing though.

USArsenal I'd have rather kept Karl Hein tbh. How much did we pay for this guy?

Have you seen kepa play? He's horrendous

Basically let in a cross nowhere going in plus the clangers against kairat

He's never looked solid one game

QuincyAbeyie

Gunner89 nowhere in my post did I suggest otherwise, so not sure why you quoted me.

Gunner89

Good thing we "convinced" star man kepa to stay while simultaneously basically dropping a trophy

Qwiss

Dom you think he's ahead of Raya?

Dom

He was first choice at Leeds for a long while.

Runarsson, mercifully, was kept well away from the first XI in the PL.

Sicario2

I can’t get behind this. Kepa had two horror shows last lesson (Chelsea away first leg and CC final) but otherwise was fine.

This kid is a disaster. He looks like a nervous wreck most of the time and let in some bizarre goals which relegated him to Leeds’ bench in the championship.

Stupid signing.

lorddulaarsenal

I recon he’ll do ok.

Panda

Splashed out on tickets for the whole fam to go see Arsenal vs Como. Can't believe seeing this guy in action will be my reward.

Klaus

Of course he can. Kepa isn't the worst goalkeeper in the world.
