he is a good defender, and has been for a few years for us, but yeah he is not having the best season, but then he isn't the only one. We've had so much chopping and changing of the defensive line ups this season, we have used about 8 different central defenders, no joke, even Weigl played back there. It's been a mess.

But he is close to 30, I don't see how it makes so much sense for Arsenal to be giving him a big contract now. Plus he does tend to pick up a lot of niggly injuries. I would say money can be better spent! There are many younger central defenders in the Bundesliga for starters.

Would like us to try our luck with some players that don’t play in the Bundesliga.

I wonder if Wenger was right about this appointment adding nothing special to our set up or how we do transfer deals. Nothing feels better about it.

We learn nothing on the market.

Horrible defender this season and pulling shirts everytime.
An older Mustafi, nice.
I really hope all agent talks I would prefer 2 young defenders for 20-25M than 30 years center back who been awful

Nobody wanted the 30 year old Gabonese Walcott, but Sven brought him here and now everybody is happy.

I actually think it makes a lot of sense for Arsenal to bring in a guy around that age with great experience. They need to tighten up the defense now, while Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette and Özil are in their primes. To me, it makes no sense to only buy younger players who still need development. Someone such as Sokratis can help now.

Here's one thing to keep in mind about Sokratis: he's only been credited with one defensive error over the past four Bundesliga seasons. Man, does Arsenal really need that!
