Not sure he constitutes a ‘talent’ anymore, but Shaw has been very good this season.
Kieran Tierney
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
He's performed very well recently but needs to improve on his final ball basically. I believe Digne still tops the lists when it comes to assists this season by defenders despite only playing 9 games and I think since he signed for us he has the most chances created out of any other defender.
Him and Saka are going to be key players in this Arsenal rebuild.

He's a left back, played nearly all his Celtic career as an attacking left back. Playing left centre back for us handicapped his natural attacking game.
Tierney will be left back, Gabriel will be left centre back, with Mari his understudy.
He seems the type that will only/mainly be swayed by progress and ambition on the pitch, if you show intent to get back to the top he'll stick with you but if you keep hanging around 8th place for the forseable i can see him eventually getting a bit restless (ala Torres at Liverpool). Although he's too professional to ever show it i can't imagine he would have been very happy finding out Rob Holding was getting a new deal.
As for cover, we have a couple of LB's looking for a new home
Rob Holding is one of his friends in the squad so I'm sure he'd have been happy that he is staying.
Okay yeah I thought so, I hadn't known that he had been made to play LCB at Arsenal much during his time there.
I really liked him as a LB too at celtic.
Did you mean to call pepe a youngster? He's 25
Yeah, and a captain at an early age with great mentality. Shame really.
I still remember certain posters replying to me saying 'what the feck has he done for us to sign him'
Not sure what that dig at Holding was meant to be but yeah he is one of his mate in the squad with Bellerin so i don't think it is something that he's too annoyed about.He seems the type that will only/mainly be swayed by progress and ambition on the pitch, if you show intent to get back to the top he'll stick with you but if you keep hanging around 8th place for the forseable i can see him eventually getting a bit restless (ala Torres at Liverpool).

I'm sure signing Marcos Alonso would go down well
Because i imagine he wants to win the league his talent level warrants at some point (in my opinion he's a title winning left back), something which friends or not is highly unlikely to happen with Holding (and Bellerin now you mention him) playing regularly.Not sure what that dig at Holding was meant to be but yeah he is one of his mate in the squad with Bellerin so i don't think it is something that he's too annoyed about.

Preparing the post Lacazette, signing a #10 and a real attacking winger (or making Pepe work) are far more important to Arsenal competing for the league. I don't get the shitting on Holding who would be a solid rotation option for any club and even more so for Arsenal who will lose 3 or 4 CB in 6 months.
Hat-trick of own goals incoming...
That’s still such an awful team though. I would rate Everton and Leicester higher.
Think his importance to them in final third shown by how rubbish they've been tonight.
Was he injured, if not why would you drop or rest him. Same with mari. Why change when you are just slowly getting those wins.
he had a muscle injury supposedly.
Unfortunate for them he's injured, he's their entire attack. They look clueless playing out without him. He doesn't seem particularly loyal to Arsenal, always comes off as a very passionate player who just wants to succeed. Wonder when he asks out, although Arsenal would probably ask any club in for him for a ridiculous fee.
Whenever he doesn't play, you can tell Arsenal miss him.
Will be a huge loss if out for a decent amount of time.
