What Kos are you talking about ? Cos Kos was f***ing shit in his last few seasons for us. If you are talking prime Kos then, of course, Luiz is nothing compared to him. But I am not talking about prime Kos.

And tell me who from the current batch is better than Luiz. Which CB other than Luiz has been MoTM ?

Oh here we go.

So Chelsea palmed him off to PSG who could buy any player they wanted, they then palmed him off back to Chelsea who could also buy whoever they wanted and Chelsea palmed him off to us, is that right ? Who would have thought that 2 of the richest clubs in the world would be playing "hot potato" with such a shit CB when they could get any CB they wanted.

If that makes sense to you then you have given me a window into your world and I have to say, bloomin hell mate !

12/13 and 13/14 I think

Then we lost 6-3 to city where even garbage like Fernandinho scored twice.

Kos was never better than luiz. Mert was though

Ok so if we are talking that period then that was prime Merts and prime Kos for us, both in their prime were better than Luiz is right now. I have to disagree with you on that Ach, I thought Kos was world class at one point.

Problem is our club planners are confused. They want to invest in young players and reap the appreciation in their value. But our manager does not have the conviction or experience to develop young players. So we go out and buy guys like Mavrapanos and Saliba but don’t play them. Since there is no more money left to buy prime players we compensate by buying over the hill guys like Luiz. We see this again and again. We bought Martinelli but won’t play him. So we buy Willian on a free and play him.

Mavropanos still being mentioned as an option for us is commendable but we'll never see him in an arsenal kit again in a competitive fixture

Saliba is hated by Arteta so unless he's sacked, saliba is gone

I hope they do, can't be sure with Arteta though.

theHotHead wrote:Luiz is our best CB though, surely that is not up for debate ? Nobody has said he doesn't make mistakes, but he is the only CB capable of putting in World class performances, Holding is not a leader, neither are Mari or Gabriel. Luiz's distribution is miles better then everyone else's, you can't just gt rid of Luiz and have 2 "followers" control the defence.

And as I have suggested, it looks as though Luiz is better suited to playing on the right side of a CB pairing/partnership. You said is this how desperate we have become, we all know your stance on Wenger, you would have him back in a heartbeat. But if you are suggesting our CB situation is worse now than it was under Wenger you are sadly mistaken, we have better options now than we did under Wenger. Give me Luiz, Mari and Gabriel over shit Kos, Shit Merts, Mustafi, Chambers and Paulista.


Excellent post, couldn’t have put it any better myself

Quality as usual kept Harry Kane quiet who usually bullys our centre backs, passing from the back was world class
