Comparison between Sokratis/Soyunku, our boys and VDV. Sokratis has the least mistakes and second best aerially after VDV and best tackles success rate wins a much higher percent of his duals than Kos/Mustafi. It’s not listed here but Sokratis gets dribbled past 0.3 times per game, Kosceinly 0.6 times per game and Mustafi 1 time per game. He has also been playing in an open attacking system and in the CL.
Right now I think we badly need a defender who doesn’t make mistakes, isn’t getting skinned and does win the ball in the air. He sounds exactly what we need.
This isn’t one of those players that gets linked to us throughout the whole window, only to then sign for Everton or someone on transfer deadline day is it?
Apparantly the chairman of his former club has been quoted in saying that he will join Arsenal. Why he might know something you might think; they will receive 25% of the transfer fee. I’m wondering what the hold up is if this truely is happening.
