Amazing to see such salibarity among our fellow members in such times of fierce punpetition.
Didnāt give him a like though did you. Ya miserable sod!

Looking at him heād probably be our best CB. By far our best youth CB. A fast 6ā4 CB who tackles on the front foot without going to ground, knocks opponents over in 50-50s as if they were children, can glide past opponents as he dribbles and has inch perfect long passes.
Probably out of our league already then tbh.
I know its youtube and it makes anyone look good but for an 18 year oldd he looks damn good, hope we can manage to get him he will be a fucking beast as he develops his game further

Are our fans ready to accept the roller coaster ride of an 18 year old CB?
People are already horrible to guys like Iwobi and AMN, I find it hard to believe theyād moderate themselves when itās a CB letting in goals due to individual errors instead of a wing player dribbling out of bounds.
Even guys like de Ligt made mistakes when they were promoted into the first team and he is possibly a generational level talent.
Thatās why I donāt expect him to start that much in his first season anyway. If Emery goes 4-2-3-1 Sokratis and Holding are probably our starting cbās.
Iād be very surprised if Holding got a run out as our first choice CB any time next season. Not only is he not good enough but heās coming off the back of a serious injury and would need time to recover.

I felt we were doing brilliantly with him in the side before his injury and he was fantastic

Excellent point.
I think I have someone who can slot in next to Sokratis until Holding is healthy enough to playā¦

Couldnāt buy a clean sheet then and canāt buy one now. Holding is a decent CB but I find it hard to believe heāll ever be a fixture at Arsenal. Heāll be 24 by the time the season starts and next season may end up effectively being a write off for him.
Decent CB who should make for a reliable backup CB but I do not want to see him as our starting CB.

Wasnāt he supposed to be back for next season? Holding and Sokratis would be a transitional players until this kid is ready and theyād make a signing in the future. If these rumours are true I expect nothing from next season and Arsenal is planning long term.
He is but I think coming off the back of a serious injury sometimes you need to be prepared to offer a player a lengthy grace period before theyāre completely recovered.

I really didnāt think heād ever play again. Itās a shame his recovery and reintroduction into the squad had been overshadowed by the terrible league form to end the season.

It had twenty likes at the time of my post, and while he deserved my like, my saltier half didnāt think it deserved 20 :jakey:
Got no problem giving you one for calling me out though, takes bravery to dig out a fellow mod like that

About time we signed someone
We kinda need a decent CB now though. They can have Mustafi for the year instead.

Was just talking to a French mate of mine who follows the league closely. I know itās only his opinion but this kid is the real deal.
Iām fine with loaning him back, with Emery and Xhaka still here, we aināt doing shit next season either.
