Rubbish source but..
Yes saw it earlier he basically quoting English press

They cost minimum 60M. Leicester wanted Dunk to replace McGuire and Brighton quoted them 45M plus. He’s 29 next season, doesn’t make sense to invest that much in an older player.We should buy a premier League ready established CB
Luiz, Sokratis, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers.
Next season Saliba.
We aren't buying a CB.
The money needs to be out into the midfield first
No Arsenal fan who has watched a match in recent memory would argue we couldn't use another quality CB. But we won't spend any limited funds we have reinforcing that area when, if we lose Xhaka we will be short in midfield.But the players we have in the middle even without Xhaka are better than our CB's. Holding is the only class CB out of those 5 and he's hardly played since coming back. Ideally we can spend big on a CB eg £50m and get Xhaka replacement in the summer.

But for injuries, I think we are ok at CB if we continue to defend properly as a team.
I thought we were ok if I'm honest. I saw one shot on target until the Leno error. Thought we marshalled them fine. The way we kept kicking it back to them to recycle and attack again towards the end was our but that was not defendingDid you watch us defend properly yesterday?

Cheeky 2 year contract offer for Thiago Silva please

This is a rubbish post. Thiago Silva is one of the best defenders this decade and is still playing at an extremely high level, as shown by PSG's defensive record with/without him over the last 12-18 months. Won the Copa America last summer conceding one goal throughout the tournament, not sure there would be a better player for someone like Saliba to learn from. A player that isn't particularly tall, relatively quick but not rapid yet has the 3rd highest percentage for duels won this decade, absolute master at reading the game. Anyway we have no chance at getting him, he'll either extend at PSG or go back to Milan/Brazil.Yeah, let’s have the chuckle brothers back in action. Luiz - Thiago. The dream.
In the PL or general? Sure there are, it’s another thing identifying and signing them. Our club has been poor at that in recent years.There must be some options that are neither 20 or 29 surely??

Klopp got Matip for cheap, signed Robertson, signed Gomez. Arsenal sent Keown to scout McGuire at Hull, he said he told the club that McGuire is the best English CB in the league, yet we didn’t sign him.
We picked up Sokratis instead of Soyuncu. Signed Kola just because he was at the end of his deal and free I think, signed Luiz who was told by Frank he won’t play ahead of kids like Zouma and Tomori.
Only hope now is that Arteta and his team are able to guide Raul and Edu in signing the right players.
