  He should give up to play internationally and just concentrate on playing for Arsenal. He is not better than Paul Robinson, David James, Scott Carson, Robert Green and Ben Foster and definitely not better than Iker Casillas, Santiago Canizares and Jose Manuel Reina plus look at his age. AW should really find a keeper now
