Gary Cahill

With Holding out for the season, Sokratis out for a month and Koscielny with a dodgy face, Arsenal needs somebody. If anyone would rather have Xhaka playing center back than Gary Cahill, alright then.

Rather just go back in for Jonny Evans.

Only played 11 games all season for Leicester... Maybe a deal to be made that gives them profit on the free transfer but still value for us.

Not sure why people think Gary Cahill is so awful. He was a key player for Chelsea last season. He became the odd man out when Sarri came in and switched to a back 4, but he hasn't fallen off the face of the Earth. He's actually younger than Koscielny. He's been quite good for Chelsea this year in the Europa League. Here are the analytics for his last 1,000 minutes in the Premier League:

He actually grades out better than Koscielny.

The analytics are one thing but the eye test says Cahill is no great shakes. Would take him on loan out of desperation though.

One of the mods needs to change your custom tag to “Loves a chart”. @American_Gooner

Oddly enough, I was accused the other day of not understanding there is such a thing as analytics (because I don't think video games are the best way to judge a player's skill level).

In truth, I haven't been too interested in the charts since The Beatles broke up. But hey, OptaStats comes in handy sometimes. :D

He will do us a solid job which we need right now. The alternatives are xhaka/Montreal/lchtsteiner at cb with mustafi or mavropanos (if he becomes the star people think he may become- the jury is still out for me)

Wonder if we can't get anybody for CB if we'll just play Pleguezuelo? Apparently Ljunberg is pushing for a contract renewal and Emery seems to be a fan behind the scenes.
