Bernd Leno

New signing, for about Β£20mill. Quite a bit for a goalkeeper but expected in the current market.

Lichsteiner and Sokratis already done, and with a highly rated goalie, our defence is finally looking better. Hopefully Torriera is signed up to, which will complete the 4 positions everyone had been crying out for.

Actually is a bit strange to see Arsenal get early signings in and no dilly dallying.

For those that have seen him play, how well is he expected to do?

Will he start as #1? Presumably Cech or Ospina are on their way out

I understand the negativity around this bloke, but let's give him a chance. We have appointed a very highly rated goalkeeping coach, I think Mislintat is trying to get him back to his best.

Still need a new CB, LB, quick winger and creative midfielder

Well, seeing as we don't have unlimited funds, I'd make a top winger the priority. With Alexis, Ox and even Walcott gone, we've lost far too much in that area.

Second highest amount of clean sheets after Manual Neuer which surely is not a bad thing..

Well didn’t he only play half the games last season for Schalke?

Fair play to Arsenal. Like us they had 2 dodgy keepers but have now gone and bought a 3rd dodgy keeper.

We definitely have the funds to go out and buy one he above. We still have players to sell. If Fulham are willing to pay £25M for Chambers then that should cover the cost of a replacement CB

Not a stellar signing, but for £19m it's a decent purchase. Not had a great few seasons. Pre-2016 he was very decent, second only to Neuer.

Who knows, maybe he'll flop or maybe this is the kinda transfer he needed to invigorate his career. Hope he turns into a prime Van Der Sar though.

Additional positive of this signing is we'll hopefully see the last of Ospina.

Not wumming but has Lich improved your defence? A 34 yo who was a squad player at Juve.

Considering our backup RB were Chambers & Jenkinson, i'd say yes he has improved our defence.
