Zinchenko's contract expires next summer, so we need to sell him immediately or he's a Bosman. We know Tierney is leaving so I'm sure we'll pick up more left backs. Sometimes I genuinely don't understand how we have all of these injury problems.

I think we're actually okay at left back now and with Berta in, Arteta can't keep giving in to that addiction. Plus, let's be honest, Myles has made that position his own.

We do need one more defender though. Backup for Saliba, or otherwise general versatility man. Basically Tomiyasu but actually available. If Tomiyasu becomes available we could also just keep him but...

Just one more left-back, bro, I swear, we just need one more

Zinchenko actually is not a bad shout, but do you also have faith that he'd retain the ball? Methinks PSG would have nicked it off of him time and time again.

I don't think either of them would have done much and that's coming from the local Tierney stan lol

Like if anything you do it just so merino goes up top instead of tross

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 1 points 1 week ago

But Trossard is also our most natural finisher, so you need to keep him on in case he scores out of nowhere

I think Tierney would have gotten sent off, frankly.
