ucas Neill claims goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer deserved to go to a club like Arsenal after Fulham's decision to block his dream move.[LNB] The former Blackburn defender, who is now plying his trade in Turkey for Galatasaray, says Schwarzer would have benefited from such a switch.[LNB]The Australia international put in a masterful display to help the Socceroos secure a 0-0 draw in Friday's friendly against Switzerland in St Gallen.[LNB]"He is the ultimate professional," Neill said.[LNB]"He deserved to go to a club like Arsenal.[LNB]"But equally he will thrive under Mark Hughes at Fulham."[LNB]Schwarzer refused to comment publicly on the issue in the post-match press conference as the 37-year-old felt he might say something untoward.[LNB]"I would rather not say anything, I would really rather not say anything because otherwise I might say something wrong," he said.[LNB]The Gunners had two bids rejected before returning with a reported £4million deadline-day offer for the stopper which was rejected by the Craven Cottage outfit.[LNB]Meanwhile, goalkeeper David Stockdale has shown some impressive early season form for Fulham keeping Schwarzer on the bench.[LNB]Schwarzer will have to wait until the January transfer window before seeking his desired move across London.[LNB]The long-time Middlesbrough keeper said the current Australian camp in Europe could not have come at a better time.[LNB]"At the end of the day, you have to get on with your work and coming away with the national team was a great relief for me really," he said.
