Sol had everything. Strong, quick, excellent anticipation and reading of the games, great organiser. Hasn't been a PL centre half was good as him since.

Was he the one that looked like a pub player against united? And got Ole the job permantly. I'll always be a fan of his, but i never want him in an arsenal shirt.

Maybe people dont talk about him as much as they should because of all the flashy brilliance in front of him. Like barca defenders recently, even if they have a great game its messi, iniesta xavi ect that are mesmorising to watch and burnt into the brain more. Sol was insanley good though.

I really like Gabriel Margalhães at Lille. French journalists said we made a move for him in January but Lille wanted €30m and we didn't have the money. Reports say he was our first choice before Pablo Mari and we'll move again for him in the summer. I saw a fair bit of him towards the end of last season when I was watching Pépé and he really has a lot going for him: 6'3", very quick, agressive in his marking, agile and quick on the the turn, good left foot, doesn't dive in or do daft things. Hope he really is on the list.

More promising news about him Ricky: https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-le-psg-pense-a-gabriel-losc-492287
It's not very promising for us if PSG are in for him.
Tierney being linked with Leicester with reports we are willing to cash in
Tierney, Saka, Kola. 3 into 2 doesn’t go. Unless Saka goes forward
Saka’s an excellent left fullback
Too early to bail on Tierney. I'd ship Kolasanic (as he's on big wages) and invest that budget into our midfield.
somebody has to want kolasanic on those big wages.
I like Kolasinac and have a lot of time for him.
For me, I hope he's one of the first players out of the door this summer. I like his hustle but his defensive game is not even close to being good enough.
Neither is his offensive game to be honest. Absolute idiot who can't even look up when he passes or crosses. This one still makes my blood boil: http://onemoreinthetolly.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=4267&pid=893031#pid893031
Genuinely can't stand players who play with their head down.
Yup, he drives me mad in the final third too. He's not anywhere near good enough full stop in my view for what I want Arsenal to be.
I like him personally. Got a great touch, has the ability to take the ball in his stride as good as anyone and the timing of his runs are also good. His crosses are hit and miss but he also gets into more crossing positions than anyone else thanks to his strong points.
If he goes he goes, definitely worth cashing in if someone is willing to buy him for decent money.
This summer I want to see something like this
Out: Sokratis, Kolasinac, Elneny, Mkhitaryan, Ceballos loan not renewed,
In: Gabriel, Grealish, Gueye
——————-Leno Bellerin—Saliba—Gabriel—Saka ————Gueye—Xhaka —Pepe——Ozil———Grealish ————Aubameyang
I'd like something along the lines of:
-------------------Leno Bellerin--Saliba----Mari----Saka -------------------Ndidi ----------Ceballos--Grealish ------Pepe-----Volland---Martinelli
As in Kevin Volland, really?

Xhaka has to go. Today reminded us of why.
Agreed with others that Kolasinac is not good enough.
Why did today remind us why?
