Comments on: Squad Watch-Week 11. Saganowski Saves The Saints, Fabianski Has To Prove His Worth. http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/squad-watch-week-11-saganowski-saves-the-saints-fabianski-has-to-prove-his-worth.html Poland - World Cup 2010 - South Africa Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:12:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: gregorio http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/squad-watch-week-11-saganowski-saves-the-saints-fabianski-has-to-prove-his-worth.html/comment-page-1#comment-68674 gregorio Thu, 08 May 2008 21:49:15 +0000 http://poland.worldcupblog.org/1/squad-watch-week-11-saganowski-saves-the-saints-fabianski-has-to-prove-his-worth.html#comment-68674 I hope you guys are right about fabian's position; it's just that Wenger may want not to discourage him, that's why he spreads good opinions about him. but the money argument sounds convincing to me, arsenal has enough blanks to fill (now that flamini letf) to pay Ł10 mln for a goalie. cheers I hope you guys are right about fabian’s position; it’s just that Wenger may want not to discourage him, that’s why he spreads good opinions about him. but the money argument sounds convincing to me, arsenal has enough blanks to fill (now that flamini letf) to pay Ł10 mln for a goalie.

They can crucify Kuszczak and praise Foster after both having a similar game. We must remember that Arsenal had to pay for Fabian and that Lukasz was already an established player with international experience when he went there. It's not a case of Szczesny who may never play in Arsenal's first team. The most important fact is that he receives positive reviews from Wenger, that's what counts, not the press. And Arsenal didn't lose the season because of the keepers, so I don't think they splash money on this position (they'd have to pay at least 10M for the likes of Gomes).

Matusiak and Janczyk don't play at all but the former will go to the training camp because he's one of Leo's 'inventions' and ought to be given a chance for what he's done in the qualifiers. Piszczek will go, in my opinion, because of his versatility and regular play at the end of the season, but I don't think he's good enough to be in the ultimate squad. The biggest rivalry is between Sagan and Wichniar. I'd find it strange if King Artur was eliminated at this point, even Brozek got his final chance. If Leo was to exclude Wichniar after the Czech game why would he include him in the initial squad in the first place? It's a strange situation. Leo said that he'll take 3 attackers for Euro but you can always treat Ebi, Zuraw, Piszczek or even Zahorski as midfielders so it's hard to foresee how many he'll take for the camp.

Earlier in the season when Almunia begun monopolizing the #1 jersey he certainly didn't impress. Just like it takes most strikers a few touches on the ball before they feel comfortable i think its fair to say it takes a goalie a few touches as well. He should have come out a bit more in the last game, but he did a fair job. Wagner, i think, will not buy another goalie over the summer. Lets hope. As for Almunias hopes of gaining English citizenship and playing for the English national team, i think he's delusional.
