Is he even any good? Never played in the league for Arsenal unless I’ve missed something?

Sounds a bit risky signing someone who’s only really played in the MLS to be our number one.

edit - I wish beesfan was still here to explain how losing Raya to Arsenal’s bench is actually a good thing and shows why there the best club in the whole world.

Never seen him play - have those that are gutted by the prospect of signing him actually seen much of him?

I would have expected that he must be half decent with his feet for Arsenal to want to pick him up

In fairness Brentford have already replaced Raya, they got a deal sorted for Flekken in May and aren't scrambling around for a first and second choice keeper with less than two weeks to go until the first game of the season so I'd probably leave that one

Always been a fan of Matt Turner. Excellent with the ball at his feet too.
Was going to ask what he like with his feet.
A lot of our issues with playing the ball out, is due to our keepers poor distribution.
We need all the help we can get in that dept

I am sure people can’t read.

Taylor in the Athletic said we will sign two ‘keepers last week.

Favs tweet says we will sign one between Henderson and Turner. That doesn’t mean we are only signing one ‘keeper.

And I’d be absolutely gutted if we went from Henderson and Navas last season to Matt Turner.
That's a weird way to take Fab's wording 😂. Think you're alone on that one.

I think it's pretty clear what he's saying and it's not your interpretation.

I had no idea they’d already replaced him, beesfan can stay banned then 🤣

They replaced him expected Raya would go to Man United, then he didn't and they are desperately trying to offload him club to club now.

“Nottingham Forest will sign only one goalkeeper this summer between Matt Turner and Dean Henderson.”

I honestly didn’t think it was difficult to comprehend but clearly not. Forest will sign one of Henderson or Turner not both.

Tails and Danny Taylor have issued articles via the Athletic saying we want two goalkeepers.

Percy said we are looking at two goalkeepers.

I think it’s pretty clear the plan is Henderson or Turner plus another, but interpret it however you like.

Probably something to do with XG or whatever that bollocks that is.

I agree that we'll sign 2 keepers. 100%.

But that's definitely not what Fab wrote 😂.

I don't see Turner as a downgrade on Henderson in the slightest. I'd say they are both much of a muchness. With Turner being good with the ball at his feet and his shot stopping. I wouldn't be opposed to either of them and the more the farce continues with United I'd be more inclined to get Turner in.

Do you rate Turner then?

The Arsenal fans definitely do. Apparently he was great in the cups.
 
Going against the grain here, certainly on Twitter at least. But remember watching him play for the USA in the World Cup and thinking he looked like a good keeper.

Could do everything you want a modern goalie to do, and some good saves.
