Mark Schwarzer, Shay Given or Manuel Almunia

[English Football]

Fulham boss Mark Hughes is adamant goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer will not join Arsenal unless the deal suits the Cottagers and now Manuel Almunia has admitted he could be forced to leave Arsenal if Arsene Wenger brings in a new goalkeeper plus Shay Given's former teammate Warren Barton believes he could ask for a move to Arsenal if he stays on the bench at Man City.

Arsenal have not had a pair of safe hands between the sticks since David Seaman, do any of the keepers in the spotlight compare or should Wenger break the bank to bring in a real world class keeper.

Who would be your choice?

Mark Schawarzer is world class and would be my pick of the three goal keepers metioned. Only his age might be an issue although goalkeepers do have a longer playing life and are generally better when a little older

Celtic fans used to joke about the biscuit tin board meaning they wouldnt spend money. Wenger has the same biscuit tin mentality.
The funds are available and his reluctance to spend is baffling. I suspect it comes down to arrogance and him wanting to prove he can win things without spending.
Swartzer is the best option and wouldnt exactly burst the bank. Pay the money Arsene and you just might start winning something again.
