Antonin Kinsky

[Raziel]

But it’s his shirt right now. Are you saying that once Vic is back in the next couple of months Kinsky should be no.2? Or are you talking more broadly that he would be ok as no.2 generally?

It's not his shirt on the back of 1 game. If Vic takes another couple of months to get back, he (Kinsky) will have an opportunity to make his case (he's the #1 in Vic's absence).

My expectation is barring Kinsky being miraculous in the interim, Vic will still be seen as #1 and Kinsky will probably be ok with that.

He's been brought in as competition for #1 spot, something Forster/Austin never were.

Vic is a very good keeper and likely will see the competition as something to push him and both of them.

3 Cup competitions, and especially number of games in Europa means there is room for 2 proper keepers. I'd suspect Kinsky would be ok with being #2 and getting cup games for a year or two, if in two years we want to sell Vic and look at the progress of Keeley/Gunter, that might be a thing.

If he proves to be as good a shot stopper as Vic then he should be no1 as he looks better in every other department already. Of course it's only one match but we should be able to see in the next few weeks if that is his real standard.

That's a pretty ringing endorsement

 

[NickTB]

Bigger picture is this now gives us time for Vicario to actually recover correctly and fully instead of having to throw him in prematurely

 

[El Guepardo]

Im interested in seeing what he makes of Arsenal’s corners. If he thrives with those too then wow that truly would be next level.

For sure there are different tests for him to face. Corners and being crowded being a big one. But also consistency over time, dealing with having made mistakes. Still quite a bit to prove with regards to shot stopping and handling over time.

But so far so very good.

As important as the endorsement: full alignment in what we're building.

So it seems Daniel Levy travelled to Prague on New Year's Eve and spent 3 hours sealing the deal himself.

The legendary broken fax machine let him down yet again

Yes, but what has he done for us since then?

I mentioned that on page 7, keep up mate

Looked very good again today. Some of the long passes he hit were inch perfect.

Good to see him organise players at corners as well.

He looked a bit dodgy with some of those long throws, think he went to punch one away, missed and it hit the post but will have to give him some games before we can decide if it is a trend or not. Otherwise agree he looks a good buy

He was fouled for that one.

I've seen a few people mention that particular incident as an issue despite it literally being called a foul by the ref, because it was a foul. Sometimes you've just got to shrug and wonder, our GK getting fouled isn't some kind of weakness, he's got 2 clean sheets in 2 games ffs what do people want?!

What do they want, something to moan about.
It's pathetic.

 

[Grays_1890]

I like what I have seen of this lad, looks a proper find. Thought he was composed in what was ultimately a mess

He missed it because he was pushed, and rightly got a FK.

 

[totalspurs]

Early days, but I've noticed is that he has a calmness in everything he does... which is a really great attribute to have as a keeper IMO.
