Wojciech Szczesny

He’s one of the highest paid players at Juventus and it is genuinely baffling how he’s managed to negotiate such high wages.

He’s a solid shot stopper still. Definitely has his brain farts but all in all he’ll be a good pick up for anyone.

Yeah. Not surprised it fell through though. He is on too much money. He’d need to be a really good no1 for the money he wants - £200,000 a week. Think we gave Ramsdale £120,000 a week before we dumped him. No idea how Raya’s salary works with him being on loan, but he won’t be getting that much.

I love Woj. But he is getting on now, and I think we are ok with average Raya when we have an amazing defence in front of him.

Can’t hate him for wanting his bag.

But I would love him back

Surprisingly he’s retired.

Had a very good career in the end.

Oh, I didn’t see that coming.

He did well in redeeming his career after being snubbed by Arsenal. Many didn’t think he would succeed at Juventus but he was really successful.

I wish we could have had a last return to Arsenal :frowning:

Fair play to him. Interesting that he says it’s not the body, i bet a few years into retirement a lot of players wish they’d made similar choices. All about circumstances i suppose.

Remember watching him on loan at Brentford. Time fucking flies. Was always a good character and I hope he enjoys his retirement.

Rubs me off that he was kinda forced to do it.
Was outed by Motta, almost signed for Al-Nassr but they opted to pursue Ederson before settling for Bento and then he and Juve agreed to a mutual termination of his contract.

He was still a pretty good goalie. It’s a tough market for goalies, even De Gea struggled to find a club and stayed a free agent for more than a year before signing for Fiorentina.

Does actually put it into perspective Ramsdale struggling to find a new team too.

Do you hear yourself sometimes? :henry:

Sorry, meant rubs me the wrong way.

A shame to see him bow out like that but hopefully he’s happy with the decision.

Always felt he was very underrated til he left us, one of the best shot stoppers out there just the odd brain fart moment which now seems to be a requirement of being a keeper anyway.

Why didn’t he join us :santi:

As soon as I heard on the radio the other night about their situation, I absolutely knew and thought they’d tempt him from retirement.

Cos he’s a cunt
