Chris Smalling, Johnny Evans what's the difference? Age fee wages I guess but both were or are not seen as Utd standard.
If people have changed their mind on Evans and he's now suddenly good enough for City then why can't the same thing happen with Smalling?
I see Smallings ability and why we might be interested but I also see his inconsistencies and huge errors.
If your Chris Smalling and want to improve your game and realise all that early potential then would you think Arsene and Arsenal given our poor defensive discipline and organisation is the place to do it?
Most probably a bad move for both him and us at this time.

I think before we spend any more money a another CB we need to look at why and how Mustafi Gabriel Chambers and Holding have all failed to become Kos regular partner and perform at a consistently high standard.
It's no good keep changing the personel without sorting out the underlying problem.
It's like keep changing a tyre on your car because they keep getting worn-out on one side but not getting your tracking sorted, Wether you buy a cheap tyre for £30 or the best you can get for £150 it's not going to sort the problem if you don't sort out the real problem.

Very true 62. In truth tho we need to replace koscielny as well. Am I alone thinking That? He's 31 and I swear he's carrying a few injuries he just doesn't look as sharp. Then again it's hard to look sharp in our back 4.

Hi 16 mate i totally agree age has suddenly caught up with Kos this season, as our main man and only really reliable CB for years he's had to work hard to try and compensate and cover for those around him so maybe that too has had an effect, but Kos brilliant as he has been is unfortunately coming to yhe the end of his career as a top quality premier league CB.

Burnley have a Top 4 goals against record. We have a bottom 6 goals against record. Go get Mee and Tarkowski. Mind you we would need Dyche too or AW will likely ruin them.

That's the thing SG mate, Arsene sees retaining procession as the best form of defence, it's how he sees things and is in his principles to play that way.
The problem is now that everyone and his cat has completely sussed us out everyone has a game plan that includes taking advantage of our defensive weaknesses rather than just trying to contain us and hang onto the point they started with they all fancy thier chances of getting 3pts against us now days.
