I’m now expecting him to become prime Manuel Neuer against us when we play Nottingham Forest in three days’ time. It’s not easy being an Arsenal fan 🙂

Arsenal has pull off one of the most amazing deal this summer in getting David Raya on loan here.
Turner was a strange signing to me – it seemed like a tip from the owners or something. He’s a good gk, though, as he showed in the world cup – hope forest works out for him
Completely agree with his transfer to Forrest. How can any keeper be an international number one when you sit on the bench fop 80% of the season!?
I thank him and wish him all the best at Forrest. Good Luck Matt 🙂
