Sad to see him go had the potential to become a world class CB and with Koscielny getting on in age he was the closest thing we have in terms of natural replacement.

Transfer fee was a joke though any other team would have got at least double what they paid for him.

Should have been replaced. If kos and mustafi are both injured we’re screwed!

He is right though. Was dropped despite being beastly for a past it Mertesacker. Never recovered. Didn't do himself any favours by not learning the language either.

Two of our best players Sanchez and Ozil can barely speak English and Tevez spent his entire career in the UK knowing none at all.

If you are concerned about a players English more than those football ability you need to get a grip lol.

Alexis & Özil can speak English

U can also get away with being an attacking player and not know the language, not a defender where communication is key otherwise u make bare mistakes

Which Gabs always did

If only he stayed on for one more season I feel like he could have been a world class defender under a manager like Emery

Actually agree with you. When we signed him I was dating a girl from Brazil and I said you watch your team, he’s going to be something in the future. Still think it.

I maintain that selling him was stupid for the simple reason that we didn't replace him
