Like I said, Tomi is injured and White may probably play RB till he comes back which makes selling Holding a big mistake
We have Cedric at RB

If Holding being rightfooted is what is worrying you, relax...he has played as a LCB during Wenger days. I'm not hyping Holding...it is what it is. The only reason White is starting ahead of him is because of ball playing ability. That's why anytime Arteta needs a solidity in the middle to close a match, he would bring him on. And how sure are you that Saliba will perform well in EPL? This one you wan sell Holding because of him grin
Arteta insists on having a leftie at LCB. That left leg is the only thing keeping Mari.

No way are we paying 35M pound for Zinchenko to be a back up, right?
Straight to first team. Tierney or Xhaka to bench. Both should agree who will go first. grin

Squad depth So far so good . Gabriel obviously needs a backup not named Mari while Saka needs serious competition and not Pepe the flop nor Nelson the perennial potential grin

That Holding is our best defender? angry
Nope.. that he can play Lcb.

Well, my thoughts is that selling Holding now is not necessary. I read he even paired with Saliba against Orlando and improved unlike when he started with Mari. He can be a good squad depth and can be sold next season or two. We need fill other crucial depth first

ESR is injured Currently and you know how his injury dey go. At least we have 3 players for RW. There is only Martinelli for LW at the moment.
Lol, then we'll use Martinelli till ESR comes back na. Abi na 4months injury ESR go?

A backup for Gabriel is crucial as well. This can easily be got without extra cost. Just sell Mari, Bellerin, AMN, Torriera, Pepe, Nelson and Holding. We can get a decent leftie CB and a RW to compete with Saka.

The listed players will hardly play with the level of talent now available. So why keep them?

I think Arteta sees ESR more in Odegaard role than Xhaka. The way he's signing Midfielders, ESR don turn winger. ..

When we didthave Saliba, he was the third choice on RCB. Now, he isn't. There's no point keeping a player we know won't play. Defenders are hardly changes during a game. And even if there's a change it is to add to those already on the pitch. Even at that, only one defender is added.

Balogun played there in Europa last two seasons with Lacazette as CF. Nketiah also aged there last season in one of his substitute appearance. In the last friendly, Nketiah played there when Jesus came in as sub.

Squad depth spy... Squad depth. I gave Man city and Liverpool as an example. I don't know why you feel we should sell Holding.

with Zinchenko coming in, are you still confident Xhaka will stay?
Partey
Elneny
ESR
Odegaard
Vieira
Sambi
Xhaka

Report says Arsenal needs to sell one of those before we can sign Tieleman.
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Jodera: 2:05pm On Jul 23, 2022
Ramsdale

Tomi White/Saliba. Gabriel. Zinchenko

Partey

Odegaard. Viera/Xhaka/Tielemans*


Saka. Jesus/Nketiah. Martinelli

Xhaka will always stay. Arteta loves him diee... Just forget. He might not start but you see staying, he'll stay.

In terms of that list, the person that might be affected probably through loan is Sambi

Zinchenko might bench Tierney in that lb role. I'm suspecting it. Elneny will always be a backup to Partey so his spot isn't in contention.
Even ESR know say him position na with Martinelli sef grin

You think Zinchenko is coming to play as a LB? Because he said in his interview that position is one of the things Arteta used to convince him.

Well, na still Sambi go enter loan or settle for Europa/Carling cup.

He'll never be above the pecking order among all those other Midfielders. ESR too will know say him no reach to compete there too grin

It will be Sambi Vs Elneny as Partey's backup. There is no drop of idea that he will go on loan.

ESR needs to stay healthy to compete in any role. He may be Arteta's joker this season.
