Coincidence?

It should be noted that Arsenal have the second best defensive record in the PL, and have played the best two teams, and most attacking, away already.
Although facts like that don't really help the anti-Leno brigades case.

It doesn't matter to them now, Martinez has somehow turned into a mix of Neuer/Banks/Seamen, and Leno is chit . Arteta clearly wants keepers that can use their feet as well as hands, and i'm guessing when he and his team weighed it all up, Leno was the one that is better overall in their opinion.

If it was a decision made on ability then he’s made a horrible mistake

It was pretty obvious we needed £20m for some reason. We almost sold AMN then the interest in Emi firmed up. Knowing we couldn't satisfy the demands of 2 top 'keepers, it became the obvious thing to do - sell Emi.
There was no market for Leno, making selling Emi the only option.

Martinez is a much better goalkeeper than Leno.
He is better with his feet, command his box and he catches the ball instead of punching like Leno does.

I reckon if Leno had been out all season and we had a season with Martinez, we'd have kept him. I reckon Arsenal decided to keep faith in Leno as he had done it longer for us.

Maybe, but that could have worked the other way too, we may have seen Martinez's faults, rather than this great 12 or so game run at the end of the season, and elevated him to the best in the PL. We'll see by the end of this season.

All these Arsenal fans who love Emi so much...go support Villa ffs. It's been a crazy season and there have been crazy results. Villa are playing super well and kudos to them.
But ffs...let's stop the Emi love in. People are INCREDIBLY short sighted about how many games and points Leno has saved us. How much embarrassment he saved us when we looked like we did not understand the concept of defending under Emery. I have seen people on here blaming Leno for our lack of attacking intent...saying he can't play in this system and is poor with his passing and puts the defence under pressure. It's gotten ridiculous.
I will wager that at the end of the season, both Emi and Leno will have performed at about the same level. We could not keep both and keep them happy. They both should be starting at top teams. There was a market for Emi..especially with a year left on his contract and so he was sold so he could be guaranteed 1st team football.
I wish him the best, but time to let him go!!
