Ben White is a good player and in time will prove to be a good signing, but he's not really what Arsenal needed right now. They need a commanding centre half to lead the line like van Dijk or Ruben Dias. White for me is more like a Gomez or Stones to play alongside that centre half.
Also how do Arsenal go from wanting Xhaka out, to a few weeks later having him line up as the captain in their first game of the season and now supposedly offering him a new contract?! Shambles.
If I was an Arsenal fan I would be wondering why the hell we had just sold Joe Willock.
Very bizarre decision. Young player, scores goals, loves the club and would give his all for the shirt. Yep let's sell him for 25m. Whoever is in charge of Arsenal's transfers (i think it's Edu) is useless.
When you compare: Seaman - Adams - Campbell - Viera - Henry
To: Leno - White - Chambers - Xhaka - Aubameyang
It's laughable really. I've been saying this to Arsenal fans for years, and they've said no their spine is fine, they need better attacking players!
That's been their problem for ages. Imagine Adams & Keown sitting there watching that shambles last night. They'd still get a game before Chambers now! There's zero fight in that side and they don't seem to care if they win or lose.
Arsenals problem isn’t Ben White. Spend £50m on a centre back and stick him next to Chambers is asking for trouble. They have so many players stealing a living - Pepe is a classic example. He’s no better than the bloke they just sold to Newcastle.
somehting big club armchair fan boys will never get. Worth remembering when we muddle through League one as more meaningful than signing £50m players
This is the old boy I mentioned on the previous page, the thought of being at The Valley in 10 years with my son and in a similar situation, makes me well up just thinking about it.

Brentford whipping Arsenal in the Premier League - brilliant.
Then they finally do spend big on a CB, and they get Ben White, who was a reserve for the England team.
It's like Armando Iannuci is writing their recruitment strategy.

Just seen the score and logged on to see what happened. Surely that is the worst Arsenal side for about 30 years?
What on earth has gone on at that club. Wonder what the Wenger out boo boys are thinking today.

It's great.
The manager looks clueless.
They are a shambles - long may it continue.
somehow got top flight job by being assistant to a good manager.
The pass from Pogba for the United second was sublime.
