Emiliano Viviano Even if they get rid of Almunia, that would put Don Vito 4th behind Viviano, Szczesny and Fabianski. Surely Arsenal will look to off-load?
They really don't need a fourth choice keeper, so if the story's true, it has to increase the chances of his return.
To be honest I think Chesny will be number one, we all know l'arse's philosophy, he'll sign 3 or 4 young players they don't really need and go trophyless again. That probably won't include a keeper Not sure on Mannone, I don't think we'll be seeing him at the KC next season. Maybe another short term loan if he's way down the pecking order at Arsenal...
Swanny questioned his committment when he failed to come out for the second half vs Boro, wonder if big Nige saw it the same way?
I was sat behind the goal and he looked absolutely distraught to have let 4 goals in so I am not surprised that he didn't come out for the second half. He is still young especially for a goalkeeper, still maturing, I think he has plenty of potential. I would definitely like us to sign him
Dunno, what was he doing holding his shoulder as he marched off the field at half time with a hamstring? Mannone Shoulder Injury Nasty things these hamstring injuries!! please log in to view this image
The thing about Vito (and this is only something NP and CS will know for certain) is his proneness to injury. It seemed to take an awful long time (compared to official estimates) for him to recover from the two injuries he suffered during the season.
