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!
yeah thats the thing with him, he is actually a solid defender, has been since he got to Dortmund, but there is nothing particularly stylish about him He looks like a big rough tough guy, but he's actually a good mobile defender and can carry the ball and can pass.
He hasn't had a great season, but people for sure need to look deeper than just this season when it comes to Sokratis. I trust our defence more when he's actually around. We are sort of in that situation where we have a couple very young central defenders, so I would not be in a hurry to see him go, but if he won't sign a new deal, then that's how it is.
