Here's what some Schalke fans have to say, pulled off of Reddit...
● "Kolašinac is known as the muscles of our team. Defensively he doesn't take any **** and keeps his man in check. Also good at tackling (see goal-line save vs Pulisic) and in general he's a joy to watch.
Offensively he's been amazing for us. We played a 3-5-2 for the majority of the season and having him as a wing back was a godsend. His crosses land 99% of the time and often gets in positions to score yet he prefers passing it (needs to be worked on).
He's our 2nd best player after Fährmann I'd say and he'll be a true reinforcement for Arsenal. Congratulations on getting him.
EDIT: One more weakness that probably can't be fixed is that he often gets into confrontations with players who are looking to start ****. Could possibly end up with a card sometimes especially with the personas in the Premier League."
● "I would add that he took a huge step forward this season. In the seasons before he was performing quite inconsistently and played pretty wild. He tended to get out of position on defense due to over-aggressiveness which cost us from time to and time and wasn't able to deliver much on the offensive end. But he vastly improved during this season, especially on offense where he has been a focal point for us.
His improvement this season is also probably why you're going to get him for free because nobody could really see it coming. So congratulations on that. You're not only getting a great player but a great character, too. I think he will fit in pretty well in the PL because of his physicality and dynamic playstyle."
● "He's great! Arsenal is very lucky. I never watch the Premier League, but thought of watching Arsenal just to see Özil. With Kolasinac there next season, I may indeed start watching!
Kolasinac's strengths literally includes his strength; he's such a strong player physically. Great going forward. He strikes me as creative, and unafraid (which I guess can get him into trouble with a ref, but still...I'll take bravery over timidity -- a man over a mouse -- any day of the week).
Definitely above average performances this season; I'd say top five of the squad.
As for any unhappiness with the transfer: I'm so sad we're losing him, but he deserves whatever his talent warrants him, so if he can find success with Arsenal, then more power to him."
● "The guy has got passion and power. He will clobber any idiot who talks about bottle. He should thrive in English football. Great being physical, look up how he demolished pulisic.
Best LB in bundesliga this season and certainly an upgrade on Monreal."
Pretty positive reviews overall.
