Trossard is currently at a higher level and will have more of what both Martinelli and Saka lack, consistency. He's simply better than they are. Silly fanboyism to dispute that.
Hopefully Martinelli has a higher ceiling than him though. Less convinced Saka will, but hope he does.
So I see you’re back, genuine pity. I find NQ with his excessive negativity on literally everything in existence more easy to tolerate than you.
The absolute heaving garbage you talk with absolute authority, a thin disguise as to what a waste of skin and organs you actually are.
What crosses my mind is Why do you even support Arsenal? You hold everything English in absolute contempt, yet lack the principles to even actually stay and fight for what you think should happen with Scotland
We’re signing Jakub Kiwior.
A big Polish centre back. 17.5m.
One for the future, obvs. Guess we’ll need a bigger squad with the CL to probably factor in next season.
Yeah just seen the story on The Athletic.

For me this suggests two things
A) Arteta regards Ben White as his first choice right back, now I personally think that’s a shame because I think he’s better as a centre back but he’s also had a fantastic season so no complaints either
B) That leaves Saliba and Gabriel needing cover and Holding just doesn’t cut it, I like the guy personally but he’s too slow and technically not good enough. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go before the window closes
Agreed except i think White's doing a very good job at RB though yes, he's a good CB too
Holding is a bit of a behind the scenes leader so I can see him sticking around till the summer. He definitely needs upgrading on though and I guess that’s why we’ve bought Kiwior in.
Aye, I love Holding. Probably my favorite player, currently. Obviously not a great player but he offers much more. People like Tierney and Turner have spoke about how he's the one who welcomed them when they arrived, offered to drive them to training and all that kinda stuff. Just seems like a genuinely happy, good guy. Priceless in a squad, even when not contributing on the pitch.
Ok, probably after the DM position, this is our weakest spot in the team in terms of drop off in quality (White has won me over playing RB and would only want him moved to DM worse case scenario, not back to CB).
Good that we have someone else beside Holding, who though I have a lot of time for, is clearly to slow and not technical enough to play Arteta ball.
I've never seen this guy play, so can't really judge him, but personally not sure the EPL has a track record of getting the best out of CBs coming directly from Serie A (if anyone's got good examples, please let me know).
Really not sure what to make of this signing, I would definitely had preferred a CB who has EPL experience for sure.
Lets see how it goes though.
