Arteta is not “moving toward” four CBs. He did it for most of last season.
He'll fit so well since Arteta is a disciple of total Football

Should be an upgrade to Zinchenko on the left. Hopefully Timber comes back stronger. But Arsenal still need a 30 goal a season striker.

Primary concern has to be cover for Saliba and Saka, and arguably a creative right footed AM, before a 3rd striker. Last thing we need is another 2-3 months without Saliba fit to play in the right matches.

I think jules is really blowing the Zirkzee thing out of proportion. He’s 22 he’s got plenty of time to break into his national team
Personally, if i were any Top team in Europe, I would do anything to sign Bastoni from Inter Milan. He is a generational defender you can build a team around.

Man Utd fan here, Calafiori will be a great signing for Arsenal. He is great with ball and more versatile than the more expensive Branthwaite. If Arsenal sign a striker like Ivan Toney or Isak with Calafiori... I think that puts them in the drivers seat next season. I am really surprised Utd did not inquire about Calafiori while talking to Bologna about Zirkzee.
Gab is making a lot of excuses for Kross and suggesting his intent when you don't know.
Absolutely loving our defensive options and back-up with this signing. Different combinations we can try and plenty of competition. Savvy signing by Edu and Arteta.
I love it, pushes zinchenko to 8, where I think he’ll thrive
What? Jules wearing a 2014 WC Germany jersey?
I’m hoping we get an Odegaard challenger! If he goes on an injury break who fills the role? I’d have an AM and a wide forward.

Trust me guys i always got a deep feeling of certain players making it. I am a United fan and i was so excited for Bruno, Martinez signings the most and they turned out perfect.

They aren't just defensive signings. Everything starts from the back including the attack. The reason Arsenal are able to maintain pressure on the opposition and create so many chances in the opposition's box is because of how technical their defense and midfield is. Able to maintain a high line and distribute/carry the ball where necessary. Left side of defense needs bolstering. Zinchenko was never a defender and our tactics have evolved so we can no longer afford to cover for his defensive frailties. Timber also isn't a left back and will have a more prominent role in midfield going forward possibly being a longer term replacement for Partey. Kiwior is good but not great, he will need time to develop and is more useful in CB than LB. Tomi is also good cover on the left but is better suited on the right, therefore he is better cover for CB or RB where his passing and overlapping abilities are better utilized. Therefore clearly Califiori is needed.
Arsenal will no doubt spend yet another season winning nothing whatsoever.
Saliba Madrid?
