The point is the fact he is free is not a valid reason for discounting him as a good signing.

He kinda is though, he's not a household name everyone knows about, pretty sure most people hadn't even really ever noticed him playing if they did see him. I'm not realy bothered about that signing to be honest, we need to aim higher than him, he's a squad filler IMO.

Fake news!

We've had enough of experts.

If I don't see it on the side of a bus then I'm not believing it :sulk:

What GP said :lol:

Let's wait and see shall we. So far, in pre-season, he's looked abject defensively but pretty effective going forward. Of course he's now playing in a Wenger system, so defensively maybe abject is the best that can be hoped for.

Reserving judgment until I’ve seen him play. Granit Xhaka made Team of the Year for the Bundesliga before he came to us and I’m far from convinced he’s the right signing for us. No idea how Kolasanic will fit into our system but he has to be an upgrade on what we currently have.

Doesn't mean a lot, as has been mentioned Xhaka was in there and he's rubbish, Bundesligue has got one team in it, Bayern, Dortmund have some decent players too but the rest is poor, so hardly a glowing review!

Team of the season doesn't mean a lot in my book, one season wonders like Vardy made it into the PL team (a much stronger league) and I wouldn't want him.

Never heard of this guy and not convinced he's the answer to our problems either, probably another one of those full backs who can attack (hopefully he can cross because usually Wenger picks attacking full backs that get one good cross every 100 times they try) but can't defend for toffee that Wenger likes, won't help our defence though.

Personally would have signed someone more established so we know what we're getting, not this guy, but that's just me.

:lol:

You really are the poster boy for cognitive dissonance and goalpost shifting (one leads to the other).
"He doesn't count, he was free!"
"But good players can move on a free"
"He's a nobody!"
*GP posts a link about him being in the Bundasliga team of the year*
"That doesn't mean a lot..."
