Let's just sell Leno to Chelsea for 60mil
Is Leno capable to play it out as comfortably under pressure as Martinez does? Don't think so. Arteta relies on that against anyone though(see games vs city and pool)
Martinez plays an important role in making us more press resistant.
And he doesn't poop himself at every corner or set piece. Instead he impose himself with arrogance and authority.Is Leno capable to play it out as comfortably under pressure as Martinez does? Don't think so. Arteta relies on that against anyone though(see games vs city and pool)

Hahaha! 20m for Emi would be daylight robbery. Sell! People here in love with him over a short burst of form are don't realize that its just a short burst of form that happens with all players. Through out his entire career here, he has done sweet FA apart from this small period of decent form. He is easily replaced by 5-10m or a loan.
Exactly, you can see how secure is the goal with him... Like that feeling Liverpool has with the Brazilian guy. With Leno it's always a gamble. He can make a superb save or he can make a leading goal mistake like that against Chelsea.He hasn't done anything because he was always told he was the cup keeper. He knew no matter how well he played, he was out for the next PL game. he's taken his chance with both hands and shown he's a top keeper, better than Leno. Keepers dont have purple patches like outfield players, they have inspired games, not an inspired run of games. We will be crazy to sell!
So a mix between Cech and Leno?

This has been explained on here how the whole thing is a waste of time, and pointless judging a player based on this.
Is this real?
It's absolutely absurd the way people are demanding he's kept and Leno (who without Auba would be our best player 2 seasons running) is to be sold. The only thing we really know about Martinez is that he can play well in an empty stadium.Martinez was at fault for Brighton's winner on June 20, so his good period was from June 25 to August 1. Just over five weeks and people are anointing him. Even then, he still could've cost the team the FA Cup with that handball outside the box. Never seen a change of opinion like this in such a short space of time.
Manninger and Coquelin are very good examples of a 'purple patch'It's almost like people forget the great run of form Alex Manninger for us who then left and had a rather unremarkable career.
I like Martinez I really do. I also understand he performed spectacularly in a set of specific circumstances. Injured keeper and a few games to make himself a hero with nothing to lose. He has done that. How does he now perform with the pressure of number one and everything to lose?
I love his hands. But let's not pretend we are talking about 20m for a keeper 6 months ago could have went for next to nothing. There are similarities between Martinez and Coquelin who at one point was at Charlton running down his contract. He didnt suddenly get better because we brought him back he was as average as he always was but he performed a role. Once his role was performed it was clear once again he wasnt good enough and quickly moved on for a lower amount than what we may have got after his mini revival.
It's not my decision but one of Leno or Martinez needs to leave. Martinez is the one with a bid on the table.

For the first time in probably my lifetime as an Arsenal fan we have two very very good keepers. Unless Martinez is desperate for a move then just keep them both and let them scrap it out. We can get money from other sales.
There are about 6 or 7 other players in the squad that we should be getting rid of first.
We can’t get money from other sales, that’s the whole point. Why do people keep saying this?
