The absolute scum who wanted us to lose, to hasten the exit of Wenger...

Of course he does, that at the most basic fundamental level is his job and some of these new players will be "wrong". No manager or recruitment policy at any club has ever had 100% success.


My hastily knocked out shopping list was aimed at replacing players such as Lichsteiner/Koscielny/Monreal who may not necessarily have been “wrong” but where age dictates they are replaced or perhaps a Mustafi who may in fact be wrong.

Mustafi is very wrong, sw.

He's won the World Cup. If Pep had paid more than thirty million for him, he'd have won the Premier League too. After all, Manchester City's backs are mostly all "wrong" as well

Well perhaps one could argue that his full backs are but then the modern full back is not programmed to be a defender first and foremost, and in the attacking sense both Walker and Mendy are fierce weapons.

Centrally both Stones and Laporte are of the very highest level in the PL.


Mustafi is more Otamendi than either of the above.

Right. Point is, maybe they wouldn't be if they played for us?
