Gabriel looked amazing from the videos on you tube..... This guy will be another one who looks the nuts on you tube but in reality he's as scattey as the rest of our centre backs
No chance we will spend big on a defender. Priorities must be in order. And going big on a defender is not this summer, it is next summer.http://www.football-italia.net/85027/bayern-€40m-koulibaly
According to that Bayern tried to sign him before going for Hummels. Looks like he may be quite expensive. Could be a long summer.
When Kos first arrived he had a similar start to his Arsenal career. Gabriel has lots of potential. The only thing holding him back, and AW has hinted this, is that he's struggling/too lazy to grasp the language. There's a useful defender in there somewhere.Gabriel is awful he really is... He's just a ticking time bomb if people are happy for him to be one of our two centre halfs going forward we as fans must of been brainwashed... He only has pace which covers many of his flaws!... He is just another mediocre player not good enough for us to mount a serious title challenge I would have benatia in a heart beat for 15 million even if it's for 2 years

Having said that, he's far from the finished article and can't be relied upon for consistency based on what we've seen of him.
What the hell is it with Arsenal fans draging their own players through the mire ?
Gabriel is not **** for ****s sake - he may currently not be the consistent wc player you want but he has crazy potential and he has shown it several times. I dont wanna be Chelsea, City, Manu and co who replace these kind of players straight away and try a new set of players for crazy money.
There is an endless amount of Arsenal players who got lambasted by our own fans and then went on to become fan favorites.
It's not even like we were bad defensivly this season, we have not been perfect but we lost the season up front.
Actually same goes for Giroud. There is a reason why he plays for France in the Cup. He actually is an amazing second striker for us.
It would be madness to sell him if we dont buy 2 class strikers this window.
He gets all the hate because we so desperatly want to see a lightning quick and agile striker up front (so do I) as it could fit in really well with alexis and Özil in behind.
However this does not stopp Giroud from being a very good striker with a lot of strengths.
I would even go on to say that a Giroud with more agility and insane pace would already make him a wc player.
It's not forbidden to call for some changes and some mayor purchases to help our current set because we bottled our biggest chance to win the league in years. But I recommend to at least give some respect to the players who are already here especially as they are most certainly playing for your team next year...
He really didn't. Kos was somewhat error prone but he was always an excellent defender right from the start.
Gabriel is a walking disaster. He's absolute pish and I am genuinely fearful every time I see his name on the team sheet.
Oh wauw! That's much better!
This is so wrong. Kos was bashed much harder than Gabriel due to the fact he played for Lorient(much smaller club in stature than Villareal is at the moment), and many people here thought he would not make it in a million years.
Gabriel still has a lot of credit from me. Fast, fearless and a bit crazy, he has the atributtes to dominate a lot of strikers in our league.
