We're currently going into this season with the same defence that shipped 51 goals last season, minus Koscielnly who was probably our best CB (although he's on the decline now)
It looks like we're going to try and get the Tierney deal over the line, apparently we're only £2m apart so it should be one we can get done. But we need at least one extra CB, two would be nice but that's not happening.
We've also got Holding to come back from injury, and he was looking really assured at CB before he got injured. So if we could get Rugani, then we have some decent options when Holding is back too.
Once our back 3-4 are fit, we have
Bellerin...Holding...(Rugani)...(Tierney)
and back up of
Maitland Niles....Sokratis...Mustafi....Kolasinac
Yeah Tierney will be an Arsenal player eventually, it's just mad how long you've lot taken to get this one done.
Never really noticed Holding before so can't really judge him, can't be any worse than Mustafi though.
...mad ****.
