Chris Kirkland

[Sammer]

I just saw Isaaksson play for Sweden a week ago - and he made some pretty silly mistakes there.

Yes, I rate him though, but the question is: how many of those mistakes is a keeper allowed at Arsenal. Think about what the press/media pulled on Jens in his first CL season.

Regarding Kirkland, I am not convinced at all. Totally agree with asajoseph, that the keeper-linking gets ridiculous.

i find PSV goalkeeper GOMES is a good keeper.....does he have any problem of work permit?

 

[jeromelee]

We will never get Kirkland. I think he's pretty decent. But not likely will he wear our jersey.

cant remember the last time a player from liverpool jumped ship to arsenal

We will never get Kirkland. I think he's pretty decent. But not likely will he wear our jersey.

Huh? :?

Yeah Isaksson...the guy who will look brilliant one game and then give up 5 goals the next, no thanks. I actually wouldn't mind Kirkland IF he could prove to stay healthy for a long period of time, my only concern about him. He has all the tools a top notch GK needs and he's still young enough for any team to build around for the future.

The losses Rennes got wasn't his fault it was a general **** up by Rennes defence wise. No one blaimed Isaksson. Man that guy has got alotta talent signed by Juve as 15-16 yr old. Trained by Cechs trainer and a starter in Sweden since after the 2002 WC. And isn't that injury prone like Kirkland. He have been great in Sweden, won the leauge twice before joining Rennes

Isaksson can look very good at times but then again he can look very ordinary and horrible at times too...I've seen him make some REALLY ridiculous mistakes that led to goals, sometimes it seems that he plays like he really doesn't care what happens or his head isn't into the game. Too erractic for my liking, sorry. He's def. not the world beater a lot of people on here make him out to be.

Kirkland injured again - bruised kidney this time :roll: - out for a month. He sounds like an unlikely target given his medical history - if Viera failed a medical I imagine they wouldn't let Kirkland through the door.

He's a walking injury.. He gets injured eating bacon ffs.

Arsenal are ready to offer Liverpool £4m for injury-cursed goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, who is currently on loan at West Brom (Express).

 

[Gunning]

He's technically a lot better than right to be fair.

True, but I like my goalkeeper to have personality, a presence, someone to be scared of.

gurgen...slightly off topic but who is the chick in your avatar... i wanna get some pics of her she looks gorgeous...

Check the Van Persie topic in Arsenal talk.

Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger is considering a move for Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.
The News of the World says Wenger wants a new rival for Manuel Almunia as Jens Lehmann will leave at the end of the season and has been impressed with Kirkland, 26, this term.

He is weighing up a £6million swoop for the fit-again England international.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

He's a very good goalkeeper albeit very injury prone. Still I'm all for some talented competition for Almunia.

 

[Jasard]

Injury prone, talented player? Will fit right in!

 

[Clrnc]

not good enough for arsenal.

don't want him near us

 

[tam1886]

Wait a minute. Let me get this right.

English goalkeeper?
Rumoured £6m bid?
Problems with injuries?
Once touted as a potential England number one?



:shock: It's Richard Wright all over again!

He will provide great company for Van Persie and Rosicky

He is a good keeper and a few years ago I thought he had real potential to become one of the top keepers but he is so injury prone that it is borderline ridiculous.

 

[asajoseph]

I don't watch a lot of lower division football, but, speaking of English keepers, I was wondering what everyone thinks of Luke Steele? Bit of a hyped name, but I've seen him about 3 times this season, and he's been unbelievable on each of the three occasions.

Is he the real deal, or a flash in the pan?
