Not sure if chasing someone who has been banned once for doping, Onana, is a good idea even if he is as good as has been said. In saying that it is exactly what you'd expect from us. Can anyone honestly see Arteta being able to lay down the law with him
I don't care if he was caught snorting a line of Charlie off Katie Price' well-used snatch, as long as he's good.
As long as he doesn't try that shit while he's with us.

That's the point though, as far as I have read his ban is only to be lifted in Jan 2022 so it's not like it is a legacy ban but one that is in place currently. I really dont want a potential troublemaker with recent history of substance abuse anywhere near the club no matter how good he is. The last thing we would need to take a chance on is a vital player like our goalkeeper getting banned for a repeat offence potentially.
David Luiz leaving Arsenal at end of season. 34yo told club today + they agreed. #AFC had not offered new deal & even if they did the Brazil int’l defender wouldn’t have signed as decision had been made to go @TheAthleticUK @SamiMokbel81_DM 1st off mark https://t.co/W00EY5VOlS

They reckon his 'mistakenly took his wife's painkillers." If it was a genuine mistake ( ) then lesson learned. Right?

I'll be honest and say that I cant bring myself to dislike or hate luiz - I know he made some major fcuk ups early in his career with us, but by the same token I think that he had improved and shown a level of consistancy none of the other centre halves have. It is a shocking indictment of our options at that position that I would even think that, but every single centre back we have yet to show that they are good enough (although I do have hopes for gabriel)
Luiz is a total liability and a proven disaster waiting to happen . Can’t believe anyone can say opposite mind up there are people on here that rate butter wrists still

It’s the right decision not to renew his contract but I reckon Luiz has been our best centre back this season.... which says a lot about how poor the others have been!
Gabriel, Mari, Holding and Saliba next season then, with Chambers as a CD/RB option as well

Exactly what I was saying - mari was anointted a star waaaay too soon imo, and lately (and esp v villareal), he has shown some serious weaknesses. Gabriel I still have great hopes for, but the reality is that post covid he has been very poor. Holding I like as a person cos he seems to have no arrogance about him, but imo he shouldnt be first choice for a club like ours, and seems to be the teflon man cos no blame ever sticks to him
Personally I would like to see saliba get a proper chance in pre-seaon, and then hopefully himself and gabriel can form a strong first choice partnership. Regardless of who starts next season though, if pep's cone boy continues this bullshit of rotating centre backs, then he should be executed not sacked
