Dalbert

ARSENAL have made a "big offer" to sign Nice left-back Dalbert, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.


Doesn't make sense as we already have Kolasinac, Monreal and Gibbs, so it's probably nothing

Looks like Gibbs is definitely off then and Monreal will be a centre back

Don't mind this signing. Could do with another left back. Only have 3 atm. 4 if you include that pubber we bought last season from non league.

or just a rumour. I think Wenger still rates Monreal as a LCB, LWB backup

I honestly think there is a chance kolasinac plays left centre half. He mentioned he can play there. Monreal back up for both lwb and lcb? This kid starting lwb?

Or could be garbage link but I think the above could be true.

could be, but Wenger was talking about Kolasinac's ability to play LWB, LB and LCB in an interview. He didn't mention him being able to play as a CM. But everything is possible with Wenger. He likes changing players' position. The famous "play a striker as a winger to develop" comes to my mind.

That's the issue as Gibbs DOESN'T want to be cover.

He's fine with it, mate. He's been a back up for the majority of his career at the club he loves.

The fact is he's on 70k a week and we're struggling to move him on because of that. Palace and Watford are both very keen on him but both can't pay that sort of money on a left back.

We're rumoured to of even lowered his value to attract more teams.
