Defensively, he will only continue to prove people right.Happy with this, can't wait to see Kolasinac at LB and prove everyone wrong (again).

and then be gone by the 2nd because thats when the window closesHe'll be here come 1 September. Mark my words.
We need to clear the deadwood and we have to take every opportunity we get. I do rate nacho but he is in his last year and if we can get a fee now, just take it.We have one of the smallest squads as it is. Mustafi and Elneny should go but we need to keep everyone else until at least January. This is a big season and not one to approach needing a player in an essential position should injury strike.
Maybe Monners is pushing for a move behind the scenes, knowing that a possible 3 year contract won't be on the table in the future so he has to go for it now.This couldn't have waited til January, why?
Great decision, one had to go with 3 LBs all expecting game time.
Kola will be an adequate solution before Tierney takes over.

I'm not against Kola at all, but for four at the back he's far away from being an adequate solution. That aside, Monreal is able to play as a CB, which is vital if we want to avoid using Mustafi.
I'm not convinced of his LB credentials as of yet, but we'll see anyway.
With three at the back, Holding still recovering from his injury and the age of Sokratis/Luiz considered, I would have kept Monreal around.
Playing three at the back is a non factor here as we’re not going to play it regularly. Holding is already playing U23 games so he’s not ‘recovering’ but gaining his fitness back. He’ll be available after the international break or around that time.
I’m not saying Kola is a great LB but I do believe he can do a job until Tierney is ready (as Nacho he can also play CB btw).
Selling Nacho and portraying it as a stupid decision is an overstatement imo. The guy was a great servant to this Club, has one year left and wants to spend his last years playing domestically I think it’s a reasonable decision to let him go if you consider we have two capable Lbs already on the books.
This couldn't have waited til January, why? Tierney would have 2 or 3 months playing time by then and hopefully settled in.
I think in most cases players, especially at his age, will opt for the security of an extra year in the contract since the difference in wages would probably be negligible.Yeah but he’d get a much higher wage because he could sign a pre-contract.
