I think he just needs a decent haircut and some stubble to give him a more aggressive look......and then he's the complete player!

If it's a rupture he'll be lucky to return to full training before March.

There'd also be the possibility he won't kick a ball again all season.

He's still young - hopefully that'll speed up his recovery.

We have to buy a CB in January.

I dont have confidence in what we have.

Either too old, or too young, or too mistake prone.

We need a Virgil Van type defender to shape our back line. Always wanted him. Liverpool ended up getting him.

Have to spend big on a CB, not just for talent needed, but also for leadership at the back. Our defense is our weakest link now.

IMO, midfield was just as weak until Torr arrived.

Lb more important than cb in januari.

Koscielny and sokratis will kill it in cb meanwhile monreal is dead and the other guy cant defend

Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail provided the latest on the condition of the centre-back: "Holding has been undergoing numerous tests to determine the extent of the injury. But there is real concern that Holding could have damaged his cruciate. Arsenal are still to confirm the extent of the injury and will hope for positive news in the next 24 hours."

If this is true and Koscielny doesn't fully recover, we might need to buy someone in January or recall Chambers.

Wtf does cruciate mean? He could've been a little more specific and said if it was Holding's ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL.

Time to bring back Squillaci.

Joining Arsenal should come with statutory warning of a career threatening injury. It happens way too often. Eduardo, Rosicky, Diaby, Ramsey, Wilshere, Walcott, Welbeck, Cazorla, Koscielny, and now Holding.

I thought Mavropanos was back in training? Can't we use him?
