Administrator Stan Posted June 13, 2018 Administrator 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.
Dave Posted June 26, 2018 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.

Eco Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 God, I thought this was Kyriakos Papadopaoapaodoapaoalus from HSV at first.
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Certainly can't say Arsenal are going after big names with Papasthathopolous joining.
bozziovai Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 excerpt from wikipedia Sokratis Papastathopoulos, commonly known by the singular name Sokratis coz who the fack could completely say his name ....

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. I'm quietly confident of the next few years

SirBalon Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I dont feel like an Arsenal fan this summer. What was Wenger doing with the money the old Smaug!
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 2, 2018 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 Posted July 2, 2018 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.

SirBalon Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 The Cristiano Ronaldo thread turned into a Pizza appreciation thread yesterday and the Sokratis one has turned into the Greek Kebab equivalent.
