Is he the beast I’ve been wanting? We need a nutter, not another ‘footballing’ centre back!


Hmmm how many career yellow / red cards does he have I wonder


95 yellows, 7 second yellows, 2 straight reds
392 apps.

For reference Koscielny has 58/2/6 in 451 apps.


Excellent

His father said he will sign for Arsenal 100%. Should be done by the end of this week.

All those people said early this week so this not being confirmed yet gives me hope we saw the light.

Mourinho wants him and he knows his defenders so I'd take him based of that alone

This defender is good. I have seen him some times and I think he is quite fast for a defender, also he is strong in the aerial duels. I think he could pair with Mustafi and create a solid defensive line. I know Mustafi is not people's favorite but I think Mustafi is not bad at all. In fact, I think the problem was the lack of tactical practice in Arsenal's defense. Koscielny is people's favorite cb and he is really below average to me and he usually make a lot of mistakes. I believe Kos (32) must be the new sub and go for Mustafi (26) and Sokratis (30) in the defense unless they sell Mustafi to bring somebody else. I do believe we have to sell or loan Chambers and Holding (this guy is horrible for me, every game I've seen this guy is a pain in my %!"#"!) if we want to get Soyuncu and Mavropanos as back ups.

I heard they havent announced it cuz they still in process of printing his name on the Arsenal shirt. Hence the long contract negotiations time. Imagine having to sign that name on 100 pages would take a few days

Feel sorry for his new English Doctor ...........

Imagine trying to compose yourself whilst reading that name out in the waiting room and not looking like an ignorant Trump supporter.

You know damn well that's a three strikes and your out attempt name.

Also, Troll Force one if he says in his first interview that he finds being referred to by his first name as disrespectful and would prefer commentators to use his surname

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink did that.

That is amazing though, I think you should do it.

As of today I wish to be known and addressed forth with as "UFGN of Hackney".

Not quite the same ring to it though.
