Wojciech Szczesny – Arsenal
Although he’s only 22, and thus has time to develop, as a number 1 he’s just not ready yet.
A loan spell at Brentford in 2009/10 gave an insight into what a good player he can be, but upon his return to Arsenal he’s not lived up to the hype.
Earlier this season, his metal state had been questioned by his manager, suggesting that he’s not equipped to deal with the rigours of a Premier League season. With a new goalkeeper tipped to join in the summer, the Pole could seek a move away to put some distance between himself and his nightmare season.
Szczesny was relatively solid last season but he seems to have been the victim in the defensive problems that have undermined Arsenal’s current campaign. In his defence (no pun intended,) he’s not had much protection from those in front of him. The Arsenal defence has been shaky at times this term, but Szczesny has looked no more confident than they have.
