Also Oldage, why are you lamenting over Maynard, if it’s true he’s going to reject us for Mansfield, whereas a player like Freddie you slate? You question his attitude, yet he chose to relocate to Plymouth and repaid Adams’ faith with 19 mostly outstanding goals in a struggling side!
You also rated Macey, enough said! :facepalm:

Still do Oldage.

As did / does Arsene Wenger among others in and around Premier League clubs.

Time is on his side.

Not really Justin, he's nearly 25 and just had a poor season at a relegated team. Not many fans would want him back next season and that is in League Two. I'd probably say he is a Conference to League Two level keeper with some glaring flaws in his game. Arsenal invested a lot of time in him but he is clearly nowhere near what they require from a third choice keeper. His Arsenal background proves nothing except they thought he had a lot of potential at one stage, the fact he was on loan at Argyle in the third tier and got relegated shows that they realised his level towards the end.

Wrong Knibbsworth.

When he signed for Arsenal from Bristol Rovers there were lots of Premier clubs after him. Everton wanted him, lots of Championship clubs too.

Why?

Height, athleticism, distribution, shot stopping. The modern goalie. Massive potential.

Initially in 2013 he signed a 4 year contract with Arsenal. He played for the first team and was in and around the first team squad.

He impressed enough to sign a new contract with Arsenal in 2017.

You can’t place his level judged only by a season on loan to a club having a disastrous season, one which saw a calamitous, constantly changing back 4 in front of him. A nightmare scenario. And you can’t make him a scapegoat for what happened. That’s just weak, ignorant, or both.

He definitely has a bright future in the game.

I'm sure Everton won't be signing him now Justin. Let's see where he next ends up. More League Two than Premier League I expect.

Distribution? I don’t wish to be unkind, but... yeah.

The game is littered with players who were sought after at a young age, it doesn’t really mean anything once you get into your 20s and it becomes clear what your actual level is. Macey is now nearly 25 and coming off the back of a poor season in League 1, so it would be a massive surprise now for him to play at or above that level consistently.

Keep on topic please folks. If you want to discuss Macey, go and create a thread on the football forum.

Choosing Mansfield over Argyle at the moment is... weird.

That has to be a pure location thing.
