Sky sports reporting that he has arrived for his medical.

Can’t say I know anything about him but if it stops Mustafi playing it has to be this news. Surely
I’ve seen pictures of him with Edu at the airport, so looks extremely likely assuming medical okay.

Don’t know anything about him, but like Augie wasn’t impressed by his “highlights “ reel ( a few of his headers go backwards / sideways )

At City for 3 years never got a game. Apparently we are "splashing out" 7.5 m for him. If we keep him we get 5m back.

I’m not even ‘Whelmed’ at this signing! Straight out of the Wenger ‘Bargain Basement’ book..... :banghead:

If a Spaniard is even half decent he wouldn’t be playing in Brazil FFS!

Guess we're back to the same old Arsenal penny pinching on positions of need, I expect they'll splash the cash on some expensive less essential positions in the summer :banghead:

So you're from.Spain, you had three years at Manchester City where you were loaned out but never played for City and then you went to Brazil where defending allegedly isn't important, so what do you have to say that convinces us that you are now a Premier League central defender. ?
Say that in a Simon Cowell voice..

You don't have the intelligence or wit to be sarcastic.

But from what I recall you do like to have a pop at people when they are facing a personal crisis.

Let me educate you, the sarcasm was aimed at augies post not yours, for the simple reason I have you on ignore, and only see your posts when someone else quotes them.

Dunno whether I should be pissed out you for dissing my earlier post, or apologise for quoting someone else's post :lol: :lol: :lol:

What's this all about......is the thinking that if we sign enough cheapo duds then eventually one of them will turn into a bit of a find.

This seems to be a simple case of he's cheap but he's better than Mustafi so he'll do.

Tbh there is no evidence he is better than Mustafi, I know Mustafi is utter crap but this is exactly the sort of signing you'd expect a newly promoted team to go for if he was any good, I'll be honest and say I've never heard of him...... :rubchin:
