No idea why the previous thread was locked. Anyway, talks to be held over staying & signing an extension, or leaving.

Any player over 30 with 3 years left in his contract should never be offered a contract extension.
That much I agree with Ross.
He either honors his current contract or Barca can buy him.
I really like him as our keeper so hope he stays though.

And he's great with the celebration parties.
Valdes staying at Barca.
Ter Stegen won't be off to Barca then. Strike while the iron's hot.
now's the time ... sell Pep to Monaco for 20 million, bring in Ter Stegen for 15 mill.
Nicked from an Arsenal website, but contains 2 other target's stats
Wigan’s Al-Habsi was the worst in the League, making 10 errors and conceding 7 goals but of the keepers who played more than 10 matches David de Gea and Simon Mignolet were the best. Both of them made just two errors and de Gea conceded just one goal.
In terms of saves per error, then, Mignolet comes out looking very good indeed with 62 saves per slip whilst Pepe Reina - very weak with just 7 saves per error. Szczesny and Begovic are both around 14 and Cesar had 21.
Working our way right to left, the next column is claims and failed claims. Cesar makes a pretty good impression and frankly Mignolet’s 3 failed claims is not that bad when you consider that he was third in the League in claims attempted. Incidentally, Schwarzer was #1 last season and only failed once out of 165 attempts.
Next to that is punches and punches are a controversial stat. Mignolet led the League in punches and many people consider that a sign of weakness. Perhaps. You would rather see the keeper claim than punch, as we see with Begovic who made just 6 punches. But the other side of that debate is whether the keeper is “flapping” at the ball which could correlate with a high error rate though I can’t make that assumption without looking at that as its own metric. Still, I think Mignolet’s punches are fairly important to the overall picture because as you can see, the kid was worked, a lot, and while he conceded a number of goals he also had to make a lot of important defensive actions and only made 2 errors. We’ll get to this more in a minute.
