He may not have been relied upon much at club level so far this season, but Matt Turner played a key part in helping the USMNT reach the last 16 of the World Cup.
The 28-year-old has only made four appearances for the Gunners since his arrival in the summer, all of which have come in the Europa League. After somewhat of an unconvincing start to life in north London, Turner began to find confidence with each start, making some smart saves and looking more composed with the ball at his feet.
However, that didn't stop many from questioning his decision to move to Arsenal, with former USMNT shot-stopper Brad Friedel claiming Turner is “too good of a goalkeeper to be sitting on the bench.” Friedel’s former teammate Eric Wynalda also weighed in on the matter, suggesting Turner should move clubs after the World Cup.
