Young CB's usually don't work out at big clubs, when we got him he should have been loaned back to Southampton. Djourou, Senderos, Zouma, Jones, Smalling all became underwhelming. And even the like of Varane and Stones make mistakes. All the big clubs play older, experienced CB's and playing Stones for Arsenal right now would be a mistake.
CB is the one position where we should stick to buying 23+ aged players.
I haven't watched much of him, but Smalling has been getting rave reviews over the last 12-18 months.
