Chaaay AFC Posted May 28, 2018 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.
Rick Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Sokratis is better than all your current defenders. £16m is nothing for a good CB nowadays.
Dave Posted May 29, 2018 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.
nudge Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Reportedly a done deal (subject to medical), transfer fee of €17m and a contract until 2021.

6666 Posted May 30, 2018 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.

Enjoy your thongs and winter BBQ's you kangaroo loving, flip-flop shagging mong. Sounds a lot more fun than queuing in line to purchase a license to use a butter knife - but then dying from a terrorist attack before getting home to make your toast sandwich.
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted May 30, 2018 Subscriber 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.

Panna King Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Having a medical today at Arsenal, his dad had already confirmed the transfer.
Moderator Tommy Posted June 5, 2018 Moderator Posted June 5, 2018 Sokratis will do well in the Premier League. Real fighter, awesome defender. Great piece of business for Arsenal, and Dortmund losing more and more of their identity.
SirBalon Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 He's also the typical type of player Unai Emery really loves... Lots of enthusiasm!
SirBalon Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Infact I'm surprised Klopp didn't challenge us for this one.
