It would be nice to be linked to a player that's not shit at some point this transfer window.

Skriniar, De Ligt, Pavard, Mukiele, Upamecano are some of the more obvious names. There's no particular shortage of impressive young footballers in the world.

I want Diallo

Sokratis + Soyuncu - Mustafi is honestly not great CB business. Who is the starting CB combination for next season? Sokratis feels like good backup (and constantly injured) and can't really throw a 21 yr old with no PL experience in the deep end immediately. Feels a little weird to not buy a Manolas-type CB who would be an instant starter.

please don't this squat looking motherf'er be our first post wenger signing. that would be more of the same mustafi bullshit signings.

Sokratis is terribly average, and that's overrating him already based on how bad he is past 2 seasons with Dortmund.

Everything about this signing is Squillaci 2.0.

It was all going so well for Mustafi till the last stat 😆

Clrnc

Swear our scout bought him based on everything, without selecting the last stat 😆

I really don't like the idea or structure of buying players without input from the manager. I know we're acting in a difficult summer and a reduced window, but I think it should be down to the manager to ok his own signings.

Narrative now seems to have changed to us having moved to Sokratis as a target since Soyuncu is too expensive for us. Only at Arsenal.

Mustafi is actually very talented but lacks concentration.

I wanna be linked to someone who isn’t shit

Not really and I bet no one had even heard of the latter here till he was linked with us.
