Player:Saliba
Would he work for us?

Or is he just another Sokratis? We need to try and buy an excellent CB not a good one

I watch Wolves a fair bit and I would be very wary of signing any of their defenders. They are really well drilled and often have 3 defensive midfielders in front of the 3 man defence. It is the system more than player quality that makes Wolves defence look solid in my opinion.

Boly and Castro Otto are the best of the bunch though for sure, also Vinagre is a real talent, he could be sensational in 2-3 years time.

Echo this, some players/units/groups of players just work well together, you take one of them out and they go elsewhere they often cant replicate, its why I never really want us to sign CB's from relegated or relegation battling teams, Lascelles for example, stands out when he has a good performance but people ignore the average or bad ones, Lascelles is a good player but we are a club at the top end of the table and need better, same applies to Boly, good but need better.

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
For the money he'd cost, I'd rather not. Dunk and Diop are the two gems from lower clubs. Failing that, we may as well just pin our Hope's on one of Holding or Salibah.
 

Arsenal Quotes

I still have an interest in training and development, in the stages that make it possible for players first to acquire technique (between 7 and 12) and then to develop physically (between 12 and 16), then to deepen their mental resilience (between 17 and 19) and finally between 19 and 22 to acquire what is critical, like the roof of a house without which all the rest rots away: intelligence and motivation
