If this new boy is indeed a cb then are we going to play a back 5 him white and gabs? Hopefully he is better than what we have.

{Ed002's Note - I would doubt the formation will change.}

Would be another strange signing, when you consider we have a highly rated CB out on loan. Also how many different CB s do you need to play before you realise that if they get no protection from the midfield in front of them then they all look poor? Playing 3 CB. s just means you sacrifice a midfielder, and get overrun even more than we do now. The best thing for our defence will be Partey and Lokonga actually playing together in CM, thanks to Xhaka ruling himself out for a few games. West Ham don’t have a world class Central defensive partnership, but they do have a very decent defensive midfielder sitting in front of them, we need the same.

Maybe Arteta thinks white is not good enough and wants to sign a replacement?

We don’t have a rock of DM to play a back 5 and hope MA realised that from the week.

White will also get exposed easily in a back 3.

He excelled in a back 3 - just not surrounded by our donuts.

Just think he needs cover until he matures and read the game better. He does tend to rush out and get beaten.
