(Not that I'm complaining mind you ) How long did he have remaining on his BvB contract? He only has one year left, I'm assuming he wasn't committing so they cashed in.

There's the answer then because I'm not having 29 years of age as a reason. No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted June 13, 2018 Administrator Share Posted June 13, 2018 From Sky Sports Quote Arsenal have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund for defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Sky sources understand. The transfer is expected to be formally announced on July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 It sounds like this will happen. Of all the players Arsenal have been heavily linked with or on the verge of signing, this looks like the one that's most likely to be successful in my opinion.

We are doing completely the opposite of wenger and signing experience which is what we need at the minute. We need to think long term as well but we do need a bit of a quick fix.

Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 On 6/5/2018 at 08:36, SirBalon said: Infact I'm surprised Klopp didn't challenge us for this one. I'm sure he's a fan of the player, having signed him once before and giving him almost 50 league appearances in 2 years. But he's also not really the sort of age Klopp likes to spend money on players for, at least for players that he expects to start regularly. The oldest players he's signed for us are Ragnar Klavan, as a 3rd/4th choice CB & Manninger as a 3rd choice keeper. I think a CB might be a priority for us once we've signed players for the more obvious areas where we need upgrading (a GK and depth for our front 3), but as things stand we've got a fat grip of cash we're looking to spend on someone to displace Karius.

Rick 2,271 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 This is a very good signing for Arsenal. Like @SirBalon mentioned, I'm surprised we didn't challenge for this. We do need a CB and this fella is quality at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
