‘Szczesny Is an Uncontrollable Lunatic,’ Says Former Juve Keeper Stefano Tacconi

Further, Szczesny was replaced by Colombian global David Ospina, who did a superb job for the remaining Premier League and Champions League games, leaving the Pole to play merely the FA Cup matches, though the Gunners retained that title.

These are the words of former Juventus keeper Stefano Tacconi, who has criticised the Arsenal FC man, plying his trade on loan at AS Roma.

Szczesny moved to the Italian capital in the summer on a season-long loan from Arsenal, as Rudi Garcia looked for an adequate replacement for Morgan De Sanctis in between the sticks.

“He’s a good goalkeeper, there’s no doubt about that”, Tacconi told Gazzette TV (via Football Italia).

Szczesny has conceded 18 goals in 12 appearances for Roma and kept one clean sheet.

“But he’s an uncontrollable lunatic – he’s completely mad”.

“I actually wanted to stay and challenge him for the spot but after a conversation with Wenger it was obvious that I should be looking for new opportunities”.

The 25-year-old has been an instant hit at the Stadio Olimpico and has impressed with La Maggica, who are just one point behind league leaders Fiorentina.
