I'm intrigued by this statement - how does a GK fit a playing style? Play as a sweeper in front of the back 4 as well? :D

I meant distribute better with his feet, and play like the team has an additional defender. Pep's "playing style" seems to be that every player is interchangeable, and can play in different positions, and that means the keeper needs to have as much skill on the ball as any other defender. While Hart is a great shot-stopper, his distribution is very poor. He generally tries long balls that almost always end up giving away possession, and doesn't seem comfortable playing out from the back.
 
It's a bit silly to compare a goalkeepers "Errors leading to goals" to outfield players.

Watched an interesting clip recently. Apparently EVERY player at Barca should be able to play in any position - including the GK, so he has to have great ball control, passing, etc.

Ok, now I gettit. Anyone remember the great Peter Schmeichel with that amazing arm-throw of his? He launched a number of attacks by slinging the ball out to a United player with amazing accuracy.

For £7.4 million it might be worth a punt.
I am also thinking about it.
But is there enough quality in the Palace team to give him some decent service?

They will build their attack around him so he should do fine.
 
We've all said this for years but if he sorts out his head he can be lethal for the right team. Arsenal need that kind of attitude and arrogance in the side, he just needs to tone down the actual antics.

Wenger is not the manager to turn him around imo.

On the other hand Wenger might just be the father figure he needs. Pretty sure we'll end up with someone like Remy in the deadline day trolly dash.

He hasn't actually been up to any antics since he joined LFC - Sterling got up to more
