I am a bit non-plussed regarding the keeper situation.

I also believe that little merry-go-round of keepers involving Reina, Mignolet etc will happen.

Why the HELL would be not just go for Mignolet? And if he is off, and they want Mannone, why don't we just use Mannone in a deal for Mignolet?

People who 'aren't sure' about Mignolet, go read up on him. He has not had a bad season yet. He has built a solid reputation in the last 3 years, with each season being an improvement upon the last. He is destined for greatness and imo already most of the way there. Forget Begovic, Mignolet is the one! It was smack of 'same old Arsenal' if we bought Reina when he has been wack for 2 seasons now, maybe even 3, when we could buy a guy has been miles better than him during each of those seasons, with virtually no errors in all that time.

Don't know about the rest of you but I am getting kind of tired of Project-this-player and Project-that-player. Why won't we just buy the best tools to work with? Is Reina a reliable keeper? No. I actually think he's less reliable than Szcz. Is he going to come here to 'Mentor' Szcz? No. So if we sign him are we going to see his best? No! Szcz has had 2 years now as number one, in that time he's been dropped for far inferior prospects and none of our keepers would get a look in at the clubs above us.

So here's to signing Mignolet and hoping Reina goes to spain!

I agree, I really want to get Mignolet. i'm really hoping we try to sneak in at the last minute. It looks like there could be a chance considering his agents comments about no deal being done yet.

Haven't Liverpool pretty much got the mignolet deal wrapped up though mate? I said in an earlier post I reckon we'll end up with valdes or reina to be honest. Would love begovic though.

Couldn't agree more.

Bradders true mate it was your post that inspired this one :)

Someone tweeted the other day 'Higuain will kill Sanogo' and I replied 'Rooney will kill Higuain' haha, big indicator of the mindset some people still believe Wenger to be in.

It's just really hard to be patient. JUST ANNOUNCE THE FRIGGING SIGNINGS.
