Everyone has problems in this position. Many have been slating Stones, Otamendi, Jones, Smalling, Cahill, Koscielny, Mustafi, Lovren etc. at various times in the last two years. About the only club anyone has something good to say about its central defence is Spurs and one of theirs looks like he wants to leave.
Also the 5-1, 6-3, 6-0 pairing that also lost 3-0 to Everton although aside from those we only conceeded 21 PL league goals that season, which was pretty good.
That’s because that team was set up well by Wenger. You could argue Arsenal we’re more a defensive team that offensive. But our execution going forward, both counterattacking and otherwise, was just excellent.
Aulas is a bitch ass to do business with. That’s why we overpaid for Lacazette. But I’m sure this will get concluded if the deal seems this far already. They just moved into their stadium and a €50-70 million fee will be more than welcome too acquire players.
Arsenal have been having back and forth conversations between Leno’s representatives and Bayern Leverkusen. These have progressed significantly and I believe we will put an official bid in for him in coming days. VERY positive signs. #AFC
