Manuel Almunia

It looks as though as Arsenal are about to sign a trio of midfield players. Nothing has been confirmed so I won't go into detail or make any comment. I understand that we need to replace Flamini after he departed to AC Milan. But why do we have to sign more midfielders? If Helb and Gilberto leave then the situation changes.

But what about other positions such as center-back or more importantly goalkeeper? Positions that I think we need strengthening.

Many Gooners feel that Manuel Almunia is not good enough to be the Arsenal 1st choice keeper. With Jens Lehmann now gone - his age catching up with him - is it time that Arsenal invest heavily in a top quality world class keeper?

Almunia has done little wrong, he therefore has done enough to stay in the side - for now. There are very few top class keepers around and until one comes on the market, we Gooners should get behind our new number one.
