Its not just the number of games though. Its the importance and quality of opposition and we saw that at WHL last season. 2 CBs injured at the same time and we're playing Holding in thr EL final.
I am Arsenal Till I Die you can always adjust and play Tomi or White at CB if the opposition demands it. But you don't want these guys playing Oxford away if it can be helped or in a League Cup game you're secretly hoping to lose.
wtf. I was only just done watching Trossard compilations
goon Yep, he's about as good as any other 4th choice CB which is all you can ask for.
Versatility really is the name of the game when it comes to squad building for us these days.
Love this kind of signing - admittedly had never heard of him until 5 minutes ago but the profile is exactly what we need to be thinking about if we don't want to get caught in bidding wars over more established players who aren't incrementally worth the hike in price.
Don Pacifico you didn't watch the WC? 😜
Segway Yep this looks like it might lead to Gabriel/Kiwior, Saliba/White/Tomiyasu as our CB options heading into the Champions League. Looks good. Holding may even sell fairly well, he's got two more years and his wages aren't extreme.
Be amazing if he actually can play midfield, but my guess is he'll just be the Arsenal, cultured on the ball centre half type we go for now. He's 6'3" in height or so.
Youtube tells me he looks like a left footed hybrid between Cannavaro and Ben White.
James I've never seen him play (apparently I have because he played all the games at the WC) but now that he's coming to Arsenal I can confirm he's better than Maldini.

hmm, don't see it myself
I wonder if Arteta thinks he can play a version of the Zinchenko role. I bet he does, since the guy's played across LB, CB and DM.
If he does, poor old Tierney's truly doomed.
Clrnc Just based on this video - which admittedly means fuck all - he doesn't look like a DM for our style of play
Mirth let's try again.
Him against the best Winger in the world currently.
He actually reminds me of Pablo Mari for some reason
Big Gabi backup. Appreciate that.
What is going on here?! I've been away for 2 days and we've signed 2 players 😱
Never heard of this guy. Hope he's good and able to show it too in what may be limited minutes.
Oh another CB, every window a new CB 😂
Yea, getting strong LB-in-the-mold-of-Ben-White vibes.
Clrnc Poland and Sweden are the last teams to watch imo, they turn everything into a borefest. Did watch Poland against Argentina, that's about it.
Clrnc Not really tbh. Not sure what it was as everything I read about the tournament (football specifically) sounded like it was great but I didn't ever get into it. I barely watched any of it.
Guardiola: I'd like my team to be a thousand midfielders.
Arteta: Si, pero tengo unas pequeñas modificaciones ... [uses a little broom to pull Pep's 1,000 Subbuteo figures into the defensive third]
Saka isn't in that video.
And yeah he looks a bit like Mari
