I don't think there's been a more talented bunch of players to have not won anything than our players from 07 until 11. Total Greek tragedy.

He’s still calamitous.

You don’t see it so much because Juventus are so great at defending.

You could probably stick Warwick Davis in goal for them the odd game and they’d still win.

Oh without a doubt. His keeping for mancs winner earlier this season had Juve fans calling for Buffon to be brought back.

He's better than what he was here. He couldn't get any worse tbf but if a quality keeper is available, Juve will be in for him. Read they might want de Gea

Courtois will probably be available at the end of the season.

Zidane has put Navas straight back in goal.

The season he joined us, we played lots of small games in training and we were like, “wow, we are going to win the league”. We didn’t.

Why would Juve want an obnoxious player whose best accomplishment is pissing off both Atleti and Chelsea fans?

Not that much difference in their goalkeeping abilities either. Courtois has regressed. Szczesny has improved.

I can see why so many people just love his sense of humour. And I can also see him rubbing some other people (Wenger for example) the wrong way.

To be fair, the whole Real Madrid team have regressed, and left Courtois exposed continually.

And I'd disagree that Szczesny has improved. He's being made to look good by a solid Juve defense.

Opening with an in-depth podcast interview with Wojciech Szczesny, our former goalkeeper discusses his time at the club and goes into detail on:

• That smoking incident at Southampton
• What he misses about playing for Arsenal
• Beating Tottenham at Wembley with Juventus
• And much, much more!

A new episode of 'In Lockdown' will drop every Monday and Thursday for the next five weeks, featuring exclusive interviews with a host of former players, including Philippe Senderos, Lauren and more.

Not surprised he has come good at Juventus and is now widely regarded as one of the very best goalkeepers in Europe.

It's also easy to forget that, along with DdG and Courtois, Szczesny was considered to be one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe. He only needed a single season to win the award for best Brentford goalkeeper of the decade.

Just like his passion, the talent was always present: WS didn't have the more authoritarian manager he needed to become more self-critical and mature.

^ Think Szczesny might be the only player who excelled after he left Wenger.

Most Wenger players see their very best under him.

Ironically, smoking may have been the smartest thing Szczesny has ever done.
