You want a guy whose best position is LCB (Gabriel) and maybe DM (Partey) the most? Looking at our team, its still the attack that worries me, not the defence.
I'm really struggling to see the plan. I thought we wanted to raise the level by signing 2 or 3 starters/difference makers.
The Vieira signing is nonsense the more i think about it. You could have used that money, signed Tielemans, and then you'd have instant cover/competition for both Xhaka and Ødegaard. Or even used the money for Vieria/Martinez and signed De Jong to a starting LCM but also a player who can play both the Partey and Ødegaard role.
They thought Vieira was too big of a top talent not to bag before he's only available for City/Liverpool/Real/Bayern/PSG. They think Vieira can play as an 8 or 10 too.
The last time we did that our not so brilliant manager sent that talent on loan to Marseille for consecutive years and didn't let him to play a single game for us.Too big a talent who plays in either Ødegaard (23) or Saka (20) position. I'm all for signing talent, but get our priority signings first, 30m is a lot for a talent. Where was this last summer when Olise was going for 8m!?

LETS GOOOOO @OnlyOne
Look… it’s sorted guv.Who's our RB depth?
The kid has an assist every 100 minutes.
True, he is smallish. But he out jumps most. Rob Holding is tall but Martinez can likely dunk over him. Size won’t be the issue for the player.He is a midget. If we want him as cb I really hope United gets him
Please don't tell me we're about to "intensify our efforts" to sign him also.
LETS GOOOOO @OnlyOne
He may well be a talent, but he's not ready now. Like i've said in a previous thread, generally, talents from Liga NOS would be wise to go to a smaller European club before their next move, like Bernadro, like Pedro Neto. Don't make the same mistake as Fabio Silva, Renato Sanches, Trincao etc...The kid has an assist every 100 minutes. Let's just hope Vieira is Cesc or RVP level potential. In that case 30m is small fry for him. Orny is saying the club thinks Vieira can play as an 8
That's sort of what I meant - playing as our deepest defensive midfielder / DLPNah, he can't play that advanced... Not in a 433. He could in the Partes role but that's all. We all know Arteta wants him as CB to cover Gabriel and his nonsense "only a leftie can plan as LCB".
I also have a funny feeling about this transfer. Apparently highly regarded, but very small for CD. If he comes, Saliba or Gabriel will surely leave - or what? I think this transfer raises more questions than Answers. Spend the money on a CM, that’s where I would put my money.It's funny that most of the fans wants Martinez but nobody knows where Arteta would play him....
Would he start over Tierney? Would he be backup to Gabriel or start in front of him? What about Saliba/Holding?
Or would he just be back up CDM or start with Partey?
I still think Zinchenko+Tielemans makes more sense and they are PL proven but let's see Arteta/Edu's plan....
Saliva moved to Cb, white to RB or the other way around. BNC will likely impress in pre season also.Who's our RB depth?
We didn't get 4th because we lost both Tierney and Partey. We couldn't rotate them out as we didn't trust those below them.You want a guy whose best position is LCB (Gabriel) and maybe DM (Partey) the most? Looking at our team, its still the attack that worries me, not the defence.

The Vieira signing is nonsense? Picking up one of the most creative young players in world football for a decent fee is nonsense?
