Szczesny... a Gooner for life.

Wojciech Szczesny has no plans to move away from Arsenal because he cannot picture himself playing for any other club.
Szczesny is Arsenal’s recognised number one goalkeeper after breaking into the first team years ago and is just 12 games short of making his 100th appearance for the club.
At just 22 he has a long career ahead of him and the Polish stopper cannot imagine moving away from the Emirates, declaring himself to be a Gooner.
“Ever since I signed for this club, I’ve become an Arsenal fan,” Szczesny told Arsenal Player.
“It feels like it’s more than me just playing and doing my best on a Saturday afternoon. I feel like I have a much bigger part to play at this club. It means that little bit more to me.
“I think there’s a lot of players in this team that are genuine Gooners. You’ve got people like Carl Jenkinson, there’s Jack Wilshere, Emmanuel Frimpong – a lot of young players who really feel it’s the biggest honour they could have, to play for this club.
“I think that’s very important for the future.”
Szczesny came in for criticism in the early days of his Arsenal career but he has grown in confidence and he is determined to continue his progress.
“I think I improve with every single game. I get the experience that is needed for a young keeper, so it’s important for me to play as many games as possible,” he added.
“I don’t think about playing for any other club. I see my future at Arsenal Football Club. I committed to coming here at the age of 16, not to then leave at the age of 24. That’s not how it works for me.
“I think coming over to England at the age of 16 was the most important decision of my life and probably the best one, to date.”
