I wanted him on here for years, he was obviously ****ing quality. Even when they got relegated to the Championship you could tell he was top class.

Kolasinac is very good at one thing, and pretty bad at most other things. In the long run, that's not viable. However he could be a pretty good back-up LB to someone who is a better footballer. Only problem is his wages are pretty high for a back-up.
Kolasinac as lw better not be considered a serious option for the remainder of the season, I'd rather see any of our other attacking options there, including youngsters.. Offensively he's fine as a fullback where cutbacks are all that's expected of him, but when you want anything more out of him his limitations as a footballer becomes painfully obvious.
We have to rebuild the whole squad and he's a player who could fetch a decent fee. He's too limited to be Monreal's successor. We need a new first choice to bed in next season.

Between Eboue, Bendtner and Diaby I think Kolasinac is my favorite wide forward!

Would love to sell him & get Chilwell in his place. A pipedream at this stage but we all have ours

While people are whining about us lacking creativity(which we do) I really think that Kola has been going under the radar. He has been doing very well to help us out with his wingback play. Been playing very very well offensively.

I think the problem with our squad is most positions are filled with players who would be very good back ups... or who would be fine if the other 10 positions were sorted. Mustafi would be a good back up, Xhaka would be a great back-up, Torreira would be a great back up, Mhiki would be a good back up. Iwobi would be a good backup...

At the beginning of his time here he did k ow how to shoot. Scored on his debut. His a few past the post. It’s disappeared like it always does

Still Pining for Wenger
Mustafi would be a good back up at Everton. Torreira is a first team player.
The problem with the good back up philsophy is that we've seen it time and time again at Arsenal. Players are brought in and its assumed that they're good enough to "do a job" and that isn't an unfair assessment.
Its just that at Arsenal, the back ups need to be good enough for the first team as well. I don't know what it is, because Barcelona, Chelsea and the rest can get away with a small first XI but at Arsenal, the entire squad comes to bear every season.
Case in point. Flamini was brought back to be a back up but made 60+ appearances for us across two seasons, 30 apiece. The corporal played 20 times in two separate seasons for us.
Just look at this season, Lichsteiner was brought in to be a back up and now Bellerin is out for the entire season and since the former isn't good enough to start every week. We're up the creek with no paddle.
We either need to fix our injury problems and rotate better or the only players we need are players who are good enough to start.

Nothing Wrong With Me
I agree but surely Torreira is a starter, he just needs better players around him.

He has good potential, players still develop even in mid 20's, he could improve defensively, offensively he has stood out as a top performer with our wide options lacking.

Just reading through the original posts, thought id'e bring this up, seems quite the contrary to many peoples opinions.

Perhaps, but I don’t know if he would walk into the other top 6 teams.

My point is that we have a first XI that isn’t good enough for what we as fans want - that Kola, like most of the team, should be a good back-up option, not starting for a team that wants to finish in the top 4. Injuries don’t matter because even if no-one was injured we would still have players who aren’t good enough for top 4 plying for us.
