He is better than Pablo Mari that’s for sure.

Best defender at the club including the waste of money Ben White. Says it all.

Rob Holding was legit playing really well at the time, including FA cup final against Diego Costa.
PS - Rob Holding > John Stones
Holding is the epitome of an Arsenal CB, he’s bog standard.
We’ve got eight CB’s, either here or on loan, who are all average, all over paid and who no other club wants.

That Wenger quote was from August 2016, he appeared in the cup final against Chelsea in May 2017, there’s no connection between the quote and that FA Cup Final performance.
Ah technicalities wechnicalities
Holding would never have the season John Stones just had in his entire career even if he got to play two of them lol

We, as fans, need to stop celebrating mediocrity. Balding wouldn’t make the bench for any of City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, United or even Leicester. He was a starter here last season.
Have you seen the state of Leicester’s defence?
Nearly as bad as ours with Holding in.

The Bolton Baresi still doesn’t fill me with confidence, even in a game like this.

Looked brilliant today. Far better than Mari.
Not a bad squad option at all. But that’s what he should be, a squad option.

Poor tonight. Worst performer. His hair transplant make Rooney’s first look elite.

Has he actually had a hair transplant?
Yeah, you haven’t noticed? 
Rob Balding is no more. He’ll have a full head of hair by next year.
I thought he just shaved it short

Same. It looks bloody awful if it is a hair transplant.
Baresi has better hair. Even now.

I think with the transplants, they often shave it down so they can do all the grafting. So perhaps in Rob’s case it will grow back out.
Rough for a 25 year old to have hair like that though.
