Given isn't a better option than Szczesny. He suffers from the same problem Almunia had, that he is a great shot stopper but has weaknesses in dealing with crosses and set-pieces. Commanding his area and settling the defense. Buying him would get a whole lot of nothing. Szczesny is much better at crosses and set-pieces and can command his area. Since he became no 1 the defense has been a lot less jittery (today excluded).
Reina is better but I would rather we stuck with Szczesney, he isn't at all bad and is very young. Yeah, he will make slightly more mistakes than an experienced keeper but he is already a decent keeper and will only get better. Might as well let him get the experience and we have a top keeper for the next 10, 15 years!
