When Petr Cech signed for Arsenal from Chelsea almost three years ago, Gooners were over the moon. The goalkeeper wasn’t just experienced, he had a fantastic record and had won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the Champions League while at Stamford Bridge.

However, it soon became very clear why Arsenal’s London rivals had been more or less happy to allow Cech to sign for them: he was completely past it.

Don’t get me wrong, the 35-year-old has had his good moments since moving to the red side of London but those are becoming few and far between.

Cech has made by far the most errors leading to goals in the Premier League this season – six. Someone with his experience shouldn’t be doing this poorly.

And then Arsenal’s #2 is David Ospina, which I really don’t even want to talk about.

Both shot-stoppers’ contracts run out at the end of next season and while Cech could end up staying, if the Telegraph‘s report from last year is to be believed, Arsenal still need to get a new #1 in.

Gooners were presuming that Wojciech Szczesny was Arsenal’s future #1 after he went to Roma for two years on loan.

Apparently not, as Arsenal sold him to Juventus for about a tenner (…or £10m) in the summer and now the 27-year-old is basically one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A.

For reasons no one knows, Arsenal willingly sold an academy product who had improved massively on loan and was their future #1.

Putting the ‘why’ aside, where’s his replacement? Where’s the goalkeeper who’s going to become a long-term pair of safe hands, who the outfield players can trust? Where’s the goalkeeper that can actually save penalties and hold onto a football?
