Mavropanos seems to be getting hugely overrated now and I’m not sure why. He had 1 good game here before getting a red card in that game, Wenger Emery and Arteta all deemed him not good enough so at best he’d be a backup...which we don’t need more of.

At this point, Gabriel is hardly even good enough to be a starter for a team so desperate to get into the top 4. As I said, Ben White would be a big upgrade so I really don’t care what crap we have already filling the backup spots, White would take Luiz’s spot.

We invested a decent amount into Saliba and Gabriel so let’s develop those two, bring in a cheap experienced centre back to replace luiz.
Then sell at least two of Chambers, Holding Mavropanos to raise funds
It’s time we start doing things the Arsenal way and develop our own players, we spend all this money on this white guy and he ends up like another version of Chambers/Holding we are just setting ourselves back a few years again
Too many doesnt = quality.
Tbh all our centre backs bar Gabriel are trash and this would be a huge upgrade. We lost your boy Luiz and need a solid RCB so I have no problem with the deal.
Do think a CM is higher priority but happy if we get this done.Paddy wrote:saliba and mavropanos are not trash, the manager just doesnt like them.
thats on him.
What paddy said
Also to add Chambers is actually a good backup center back and versatile + HG, deffo worth keeping

Assuming we have a limited budget as usual, are you happy for us to spend the big money on White and go cheap in midfield/attack?
Because for me personally after watching us struggle to get into the box most games, I’d rather spend more money improving our attacking front.
Not saying it’s all down to our poor players as some of it is just Artetas crappy tactics, Allerdyce could probably get us player better football with the same resources

Why would better players want to sign for us? We're 8th in the table; at best, we could compete for EFL or FA cup. The manager is a robot running an outdated, unsupported version of GuardiolaOS.
Nobody else is even bidding for him, but Brighton know we're idiots and will come back with another offer.
