Chaaay AFC Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 We keep getting linked to Sokratis Papastathopoulos and it's doing the rounds again today mainly from kicker. Apparently we only want to pay £13m as he is is going into the last year of his contract at Dortmund, but they are holding out for around £16m. This may just be a rumour because we now have Sven Minsiltat at the club, and he already has purchased a few of his old players. I'm hoping that's all it is because I've heard he is nowhere near the same player he was a few seasons back. Honestly would rather just give Mustafi another year instead of wasting valuable budget on another player approaching 30. Edit: Fucking Ornstein.... I have to say this is massively underwhelming if it does go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Sokratis is better than all your current defenders. £16m is nothing for a good CB nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If Unai Emery is happy to work closely with Sven Mislintat then I imagine this will be true given the Dortmund link. At 29 he's probably the type of professional Arsenal need in defence, however I imagine they'd like somebody else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Haven't seen a whole lot of him and heard that he plays with a lot of commitment and goes in for tackles but that's no different from Mustafi. Does he stick to the defensive shape of the team? That's what we need. His age isn't a worry as we need experience in that position as Mertesacker was basically out of the first team since 2 seasons ago and Koscielny's body is slowly deteriorating. Big fan of Chambers and he was our best CB near the end of the season. Hope Emery keeps him in his plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted May 30, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thats a good bit of business for that kind of fee, as mentioned I too think he is better then all Arsenal's current defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
