    see? Hummels will bring the best out of Ozil? lmao pardon me i had to laugh at that...what ? nonsense

    you know who would bring the best out of Ozil for real? Reus

    ozil have a confidence issue at arsenal. and why can't a defender bring out the best out of his team mates on the field? franco baresi done it at the back for ac milan, john terry done it from the back with chelsea, beckenbaur done it for germany/bayern munich. u will never understand.

    yes coz its nonsense...Hummels is not more of a leader and a presence in the locker room than Per...if you want the best of Ozil he needs weapons not ? Giroud...

    you know what helped his confidence at Madrid? Pepe or having Ronaldo and Benzema ahead of him?

    Good defenders are generally overpriced

    ask yourself why united who have more money than us and a bigger need for a CB aren't paying for Hummels

    real madrid a complete team when pepe is starting. ronaldo will do his thing but that defense have to be intact or else they will only have offense, and not win ? . peep real madrid this season. a solid defense brings better balance to every sporting franchise.
    what have they won this season? greedy ronaldo going for the pichichi award. its a fine line dawg.

    I'd rather we buy Manolas than Hummels

    but we are not buying a CB so this is a pointless discussion

    good choice in manolas. but don't front like hummels isn't quality. duke has a world cup medal. only thing he haven't won is champs league.

    Modric is the key to Real...Pepe is great (top 3 CB) but they can win without him...can't win without Modric.

    i said he'd improve us...but he isnt a 40m CB...25m and I would be interested

    for a club like Arsenal 40m can only be spent on special talents

    New rumor of the day. Gundogan passed a new medical exam at the request of Barcelona and looks likely to sign with the club.

    i'm old school. defense got to structured first and foremost. that allows the midfielders to tick with the forward line.
    you arsenal fanbase fixate on offense offense offense, not realizing a mediocre back-line (Over 10 years) will always get expose.

    These was some bad ? right here from the old Arsenal squad: Ashley Cole, Martin Keown, Mufukin Lauren, Sol Campbell, Kolo Toure.

    No current arsenal defenders can match any of those players. Koscielski slightly to lauren, and lauren was a bad mufuka. Solid enough to make the midfield and forward put in that work.

    Arsenal ain't winning ? without a solid defense, ever. Insanity is a hell of an illness.

    Always something about Arsenal with you. Arsenal this, Arsenal that, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal.

    It's clear as day that we need another CF and we've been saying the defense needs to be upgraded. Signing Paulista was a start, now we need to focus on a DM, which people having been calling for the last few years.

    You speak about past Arsenal teams as if they could be easily duplicated.

    They won the FA Cup last year and could win it again next weekend. You sure about ever? Lol

    Focus your energy on inter Milan, not Arsenal.


    This chat is filled with EPL fans so i rock with the majority respectfully. Inter Milan is dumpster juice currently but they will be back.

    The 8th richest football club in the only fixate on winning FA cup trophies? damn. i thought yall think bigger. you guys been playing champs league football for like 20 years straight and haven't lift the trophy yet?

    all i'm saying is arsenal can replicate that past arsenal team in defense. and why can't it happen? chelsea/city/man u all had great defense, on their to way to lifting the Premiere League, with the exception on chelsea lifting champs league.
    u can't knock me for being passionate about this football thing dawg. all leagues is welcome. i love the sport and the many discussion. i'm not even dissing arsenal fc. great teams are built on top notch defenses.

    i use your own arsenal team as an example and you catching feelings?? @northside7
    hummel presence in that locker will also bring the best out of ozil.

    You can't say ish like "will never win anything" and then turn around say "that's all you're fixating on?", when an FA Cup win is brought up. Don't engage in goal post moving.

    Arsenal and European Cup/Champions League is an odd subject that dates back for decades. A jinx probably. Then again if they won in 06 all of that would be irrelevant. We could win it next year.

    Many factors. Scouting, world class players available, wages, the price for a player, all have to be taken into consideration. Can't just throw stupid amounts of money at players like some other clubs do.

    so their(juventus) defense played no part in how that midfield attacked on the pitch? everything starts with defense. they made real madrid offense one dimensional on attack, frustrated. ronaldo being a quintessential ? boy bowed out.

    lol at he speaks the truth most of the time

    it's the same cliche's and ? ...he refuses to see anything wrong abt arsenal except defense...to him we didn't need to buy Alexis or Ozil and Giroud is enough to win the league

    no ? we would like to get a better CB, hell we need a new young LB too, but those are not the issues stopping us from winning...the are different ways to build a squad...we can win with our current defense IF we fix the GK position and control games in midfield (our strength) and put chances away...I would like to replace Per asap but its obvious Chambers is being groomed for that modern CB role in the team...and he's pretty talented just needs experience

    There is no need for a team like Arsenal to spend 40m on a CB wtf...especially just so we can build from the back...

    Co ? sign that second paragraph.

    Signing Cech would be a huge confidence boost and would strength the defense.

    The foolishness of spending £40m on a defender and not on a striker when a striker is clearly needed.
