playing because Arsenal are loking to sell him.
Holding said he wants to leave last January so wenger
played him and now he's re payed us with giving the ball away over and over again for the first goal and we obviously need a proper defense coz our only central CBs are koscielny n mertesacker so van
dijk should of been our first target along side lacazette but wenger thinks monreal n kolansinac are CBs we would of won this game by a lot of goals if we could defend but being cheap won't allow that

Dijk and also a No - nonsense top DM that is strong physically, fast, can score goes, take - ons opponent, Tackles, wins Ariel duels, Intercepts

play as DM, CM, RB and even CB if convert) Would do.
In terms of signings: GK - in: either Pickford / Lafont out: Ospina (don't want him to leave but it seems inevitable) RB: in: Mario Gaspar / Hugo Mallo / Karsdorp / Pereira / Cancelo, out: Debuchy and Jenkinson CB: in: Van
Dijk / Manolas / Tah / Keane, out: Mertesacker, Gabriel (keep if we
play a back 3), bring back Chambers LB: in: Mendy / Kolasinac / Bertrand, out: Gibbs CDM: in: Nzonzi / Bakayoko / Danilo Pereira / Carvalho / Tousart / Diawara, out: Coquelin CM: in: Isco / Jorginho / Keita / Weigl / Kovacic to
play the santi role, out: Ramsey, Wilshere Winger: in: Lemar / Douglas Costa / Lucas / Zaha / Balde Keita - someone who can beat a player, out: Walcott (scored quite a few goals this year but does not impact games the way someone at their prime should) Striker: in: Lacazette, out: Giroud (only for a good offer though, he's a decent super sub, however if Sanchez stays we may not need a first choice ST)

playing CB which our teams look for, but this is one who's not small and he likes the physical test.
when per and kos
played together kos was always having to cover behind per for the over the top ball into space, and yesterday he wasnt gabriel was tracking across to help kos and likewise it looked like it could develop into a top partnership However i do not think per will stay on the bench all season, as captain / vice captain wenger wont allow it Is it me or ever since the WC and retiring from international football, does mertesacker look less motivated to
play, he isnt even trying to run back whenever the ball is
played over him and he is always taking the easiest possible option Hope that we can sell per in the summer and buy van
dijk but i very much doubt there is a club out there that will want to buy mertesacker
