St. Etienne President said:“For the moment, there is no contract with Arsenal for Loïc Perrin. We have very good relations with Arsène Wenger and I think that if he was interested in him (Perrin), he would have spoken to us about it.”
Mastadon said:Never heard of him but reminds me of Squillaci for some reason. I'm sure Squid had a higher profile at the time.
If in reference to Van Dijk Celtic play with a high line they dominate games the way we do every week as teams pack 11 men behind the ball and try to hit on the break.ArsenesNO1Fan said:Maybe it's partly the mentality of changing to a team that defends less so you aren't constantly defending and you are employing a high line.

I think we have to be realistic we aren't signing an instant first choice Cb otherwise I'd be all over Pepe never mind anyone else as he is a monster and experienced and instant first choice material but we aren't signing him or Hummels or someone in that bracket.
We will sign the player that is good now, could get and should get better, is comfortable being third choice short term yet capable of breaking into or pushing the other two and within that the player who represents the best overall financial package. For the outlay of 10m Van Dijk ticks all those boxes for 5m Reid ticks the boxes though he is 3 years older and may be closer to his ceiling than Van Dijk. It will be a combination of the above factors that determines who we get.
