For Mustafi? At this point I’m starting to think it would be so low that you might as well keep him and have him as 4th choice.

For Mustafi? At this point I’m starting to think it would be so low that you might as well keep him and have him as 4th choice.
There has to be a defender bought in the summer, and I'd rather have the likes of #gulp# Shawcross in the team, than him. Surely he's got a release clause when they get relegated.
I assume Boateng and Hummels are before him in the international running. Even Howedes must be; and he's nearly dead.
Mustafi will end up being another one running his contract down in the stiffs.
Agreed. I am not convinced that Tony Adams could hold a back four together in this side.
That said, some of the mistakes are still, to some extent, inforgiveable. But then these current league games are among the most pointless we have played in years, with a major focus elsewhere. I wouldnt judge anyone solely on these games.
Cazorla obviously needs replacing (Meyer on a free makes sense - Minsilat was at the Shalke game the other night & they have confirmed he will leave in the summer). This will also cater for Wilshere if we assume that he's leaving on a free.
Agree on Cech - Maybe Ospina can do a job?
Monreal has been strong for the most part this season. However, Kolisinac can't move his feet so I would suggest we look for a longer term replacement (Shaw/Rodriguez?).
Defenders are clearly an issue but I understand that Evans' preference is to remain up north (cannot fathom why). Manolas would be great, though.
West Brom will need a replacement for Johnny Evans...that’s Mustafi’s level.
Pretty sure Mustafi was just clearing the ball for the 1st goal yesterday.
Man thinking he’s Maldini or Frank De Boer all of a sudden lol
How about Harry Maguire from Leicester? Always seems to play well when I see him play. Or is he not sophisticated enough for us?
Not that it matters. Do we really trust a manager who bought Mustafi, Chambers and Holding to buy the CB we need?
That Golovin chap did look very useful and as much as I'd prefer we didn't buy another smallish no. 10 sort of midfielder, Golovin alongside of Ozil and Mikkie behind Aubameyang feels awfully good. Although I've never understood why Wenger doesn't play Ramsey as part of the 3 given how much he likes him and his view that good players find ways to play together. Or perhaps I just haven't been watching enough of us this season. Has he ever played two of Elneny/Wilshere/Xhaka farther back and Ramsey/Ozil/Mikkie behind a striker?
At the back I'm not sure where we start. Remember, we not only generated a profit in the summer transfer window, we didn't buy a single defender if you don't consider Kolasinac a defender. :shrug:
