Maybe Welbeck can play there. A defensive ST and an attacking CB!!

Never mind that Mustafi wasn't particularly good last season - he's still better than Holding and Chambers. We also need sheer numbers if we're going to play with three defenders. Our centreback options will be Koscielny, Holding, Chambers and Per if Mustafi goes. Per played 45 minutes last season. Holding made 9 appearances. Koscielny is one soft knock away from requiring season-ending surgery.

Elneny played at CB all pre season. Wenger was planning for thisb
So recruitment got Mustafi wrong.

Someone pointed out Wenger is selling all his statDNA players. Only Holding and Elneny left.

Hurting the club over a personal grudge. Classy.
Wasn't statDNA his idea?
How do people know who the statDNA players are anyway? And it's not like we wouldn't scout them too. I don't buy it personally but who knows, there has to be some reason behind this madness.
Won't make any sense unless we buy a quality center half. We have been poor at recruitment for a while now. There has to be some reason that Wenger doesn't seem to have confidence in some of the signings we make after they arrive. Mustafi is the second best center half we have. It must be something other than just footballing ability.
Rumours the reason Mustafi is leaving is something to do with family issues. Nothing to do with Wenger wanting him out, he has to be replaced though.
Why would family issues mean he has to move to Italy?
Mustafi's family deeply disapproves how Arsene has run this club... Can't say my family feels any different to be fair.

This is quite normal on FM. Lewandowski is homesick. Goes to Real Madrid.
Maybe they just didn't settle in London.

Sounds like bollox. If it was that you'd go back to Germany, not Italy.
When was the last time we sold a player because their family wants to leave?!
I really hope if Wenger sells him it's for footballing decision and nothing more.
Maybe he shagged a teammates missus
We're talking about Mustafi not John Terry.
If Mustafi does have an issue then fair enough you sell him but you have to replace him.
Wonder what the atmosphere will be like at the Emo next if we sell these players don't add to the squad and lose to Liverpool
