What if one of the plans to utilize White is to put him RB for now which allows Tierney to push higher up and White pushes inwards to create a back 3 when Arsenal attack.

£10m more but that doesn’t make the sting any less
At the time, the signing made sense because Wenger wanted someone with a bit more experience that could immediately slot in for Mertesacker/Vermaelen but they got it horribly wrong. Especially when you consider that So’ton bought Virgil for £15m the season before.
He’ll fit in well for us because we’re hell bent on playing out the back...I just don’t know if he’s a £50m player right now.
I’m taking White over Ake and Mings everyday but the amount these decent-good CBs are going for now is irritating. To me, if you’re spending that kind of money on a defender, we should be seeing be a Virgil type of impact on the defence. Spending £50m on a CB that you know won’t lift your defence instantly just seems like bad business because bringing in a DM to protect our back four is a more pressing issue.
White can play DM
2 players in 1.

If he’s a Bellerin replacement, I’ll pick him up from Brighton Pier and stop for Cod and Chips from Bardsley’s myself
EDIT: Saliba’s also played DM and RB if we’re going down the utility player route
I really want Lamptey or Aarons though.

Then Holding or Saliba is our starting RCB. Arteta doesn't seem to want with Saliba and Holding can't pass or defend.
I gotta ask why not buy Lamptey if you're looking for a RB.
I'll wait and see but this regime is very scattered gun and short term in their thinking.

I'm just offering a tactical option that could be used. Especially when Xhaka leaves who drops back into a LCB position from midfield and his replacement is a more mobile midfielder which looks like it will be the case.
Lamptey was primarily used as a RWB before the hamstring injury (had to have surgery) ended his season. I think his height is a concern for any team who may want to sign him and play him at RB and after all he is still developing as player. Lets see what he can actually do in the position for a run of games before saying he is a good option to sign. If you have Lamptey as RB your basically telling teams to launch long balls to his zone of the pitch for the big lad to win unchallenged headers.
Regarding Saliba I think him not having pre season with the club and going to the Olympics is probably why they want to loan him out. Even tho keeping him might be a better solution because with no Europe there is more opportunity to coach and develop him. But with the no Europe less games and he needs games. Now people can say bu-bu-but Forfana he played for Leicester and look where they ended up and he looked quality. Yes he did but lets not forget It also helps that he has Morgan and Evans in training and games guiding and teaching him as well. Who do have Arsenal have to do that? Saliba isnt even 20.5 yet. The expectations for the lad are absolutely bonkers and what happens if stays and plays and gets bullied by the likes of Antonio, Barnes, Benetekkers, DCL, Deeney and others Arsenal fans will turn round and say we should of sent him out on loan.

After going 15 without a win and my strikers not scoring since week 1, it's time to:
Milan was keeping Donnarumma's older brother around but that didn't helpDidnt know he had a brother
So that means he's staying at PSG then
I remember when New York Red Bull signed Digao, Kaka's trash ass brother, hoping to get in Kaka's good graces

Chelsea signed not one but two of Hazard's younger brothers
Most people know about Thorgan but Kylian was also at the club for a couple years playing in the development squad lol

Go to PSG where you are guaranteed trophies and stay in a country you were brought up in since the age of 2
Go to Ole's Man Utd and be benched by McFred.

Camavinga is basically if you combined McFred in one person but he still isn't what you need in midfield.

I like Bissouma. I think he works for what we would need in midfield assuming Ndidi is ungettable.

Bissouma works if you keep Pogba and make Pogba the main passer from the 6. Just think the need for a sitter/screen/disruptor and a passer was always more needed and important than signing Sancho.

Holland doing Holland things. Got to take your chances when you're on top of the game. Even in the group games they weren't taking all of their chances.
IDK DeBoer didn't start Weghorst. Him and Depay were working well in the opening 2 games.
