Sokratis Papastathopoulos

Cool. Koscielny is who I would partner him with. I think Sokratis is slightly safer than him though as Kos had a blunder in him every so often.
So, yeah. That’s pretty much it.

Correct answer.

He’s surely a goner. He doesn’t get picked in a back 3 and Holding gets on before him as a sub.

We’ll be lucky to recoup half of what we paid for him.

He does strike me as a guy who wants to play, so if he isn’t in Arteta’s plans, I hope he accepts slightly lower wages but playing time elsewhere.

This is his last chance. If he gets picked and shows he is a better option than Mustafi and Kola(in terms of what Arteta wants) then he may have a chance to stay. If not, his days here are done. He mentioned before that once he doesn’t feel needed he’ll go.

Here’s what he said:

I feel like he’s already had his chance. We have Mari and Saliba coming back next season as well. Based on what we can see right now, he’s currently 5th choice with those two not even in the picture. Playing Kolasinac and Mustafi ahead tells you he doesn’t fit in with the ball playing requirements and/or isn’t rated as a defender.

Good to hear he would leave if he didn’t get playing time. Should be a relatively simple transfer to sort out if needed

More than argue, Gallas is substantially better, Arsenal fans just don’t like him because of his antics.

Any footballer that is required to do this is not a footballer

And that’s fair enough, I don’t even disagree we could have gotten better value, I just don’t think the Papa deal is blatantly bad in comparison to what the current market serves up.

In reality 17m for any person who kicks a round piece of rubber around on some grass is a fucking waste of money lol

No. Don’t you come in here now and make it seem like we have the same view.

I like Sokratis in the “serviceable player with good hustle” way, not the “best CB in the Emirates era” way (which is ridiculous).

Best thing he did was call out Salah for the diving shithead he is at Anfield last season

:papa:
