Can you give me an example of an inverted fullback?
In the video it was said that Guardiola used Alaba and Lahm as inverted fullbacks in Bayern. Those are close to ideal for it.

No mention of Arsenal in his article. Bit weird for the club to be leaking to Ornstein that they’re still in the race for him when from the Ajax side it sounds like he’s only going to Utd. Maybe they’re trying to sign someone else, or maybe they’re running up a dead end like they did with Raphinha.

Ajax media will want to move to utd its very clear. It's really getting too wierd now.

Alaba and Lahm have started out as full backs and moved centrally to CB and CM later in their careers. How does that make them inverted fullbacks, and how are they in any way comparable to Martinez?

Watts say Lisandro very open joining Arsenal.

I hope we know what we are doing here a expensive LB/CB when we still need a goal scoring Winger and number 8.

If we manage getting him for 40M that will raise our spend to 120M really hope we have enough money for winger and CM trying to sell players will help that @EDU

£40m on a 5'9 Cb so that he can play left back...it's ****ing ridiculous.

The last time we took such a risk was Petit and he cost £2.5m

Shouldn't be spending that kind of money on a player who isn't going to be starting in a position where were already stacked with players.

While I would like to see Tielemans sorted first, its not necessarily bad to spend big money on a versatile player like Martinez. He will play a lot considering injuries on Tierney, and he will surely play cb at times as well. Quality players, backup or not, will cost money. Especially when other clubs are involved.

We need to see Martinez for what he is..

(Arteta wants us to be the team in possession) To do that, we need to beat highpressure, thus we need technical defenders who are good on the ball with a lot security in combinations – this is who Martinez is.

If we have the ball, it's difficult for the opposition to score.

Find a defender who is as good on the ball under pressure with as much security in the combinations?

Add to that good at one-on-one defending

And call Edu

Pretty clear. But where does he play for 40m? And please don’t say LB or substitute XYZ. He is not coming to be that type of player.

Player told Ajax to allow him to leave. Both Arsenal and utd made 45M€ bids.

I hope this saga over this week it taking really long
