Another recent goalie acquisition, was a pair made for Fabianski. I can only assume these were a training pair, as he doesn't seem to use fingersaves for matches. Now with Swansea, these were made specially for him during his time at Arsenal. Interestingly, they had fingersaves at the thumb as well as the other fingers. This is something you don't often see this level of player using (normally just the four fingered reinforcements) and the thumb curve was very rigid and close to the thumb within the glove.
The fingersaves were pre-curved and fixed in (not removable), and bent in a way that it made it difficult to properly bend at the fingers to make a strong catch to hold the ball. However, this would be great in training and for fingertip stops to make sure the fingers weren't bent back during the save.
The glove cut was also rollfinger (a lot more 'roomy' than the Kenny cut). They were essentially an adaptation of the Bionic Uhlsport model.
