Hmm, thought Martinelli would go into the U-23 squad. Could work if he has the right players around him
This is extremely misleading. It's taken somewhat out of context from an article arguing that the best thing Arsenal can do is a Van Dijk type signing and goes on to say that if Arsenal can find takers for Mustafi and Chambers they will be looking for a center back. Here's the gist of Benge's argument (with which I agree wholeheartedly -- in fact, it's exactly the argument I've been making):
Seeing the chaos that Mustafi, Monreal and others habitually plunge themselves into one cannot help but imagine the benefit that having a truly elite centre-back would make to this squad, even if that meant having to make do without some reinforcements out wide.
