Good morning, afternoon, evening fellow Gooners! It's Labor Day over here in the States, and I'm spending mine on my computer with Sky Sports News streaming on it. I'm glad to see that we are going after the likes of Ozil, Viviano, and Ba, but I still feel that we are short of defensive cover. I would have been happy to have seen us go after Sakho or Alderweireld as cover for both the center back and fullback positions. They both are versatile enough to play either position. Sakho cost roughly 12 million and Alderweireld was a mere 6.1 million. Maybe a last second bid for Ashley Williams will be made today? Our back four of Bac, Per, Kos, and Gibbs has played well, but how likely are they to last the year? TV5, Monreal, and Jenkins are decent back ups, but we could use one more. Come one Arsene!

Sagna will probably just be 3rd choice CB while Verm is out, with Jenks and Flamini covering the RB position.
However I'd definitely like to see us sign an extra CB.

Sir Digby-I agree that Flamini is useful cover as well, but I wouldn't mind having one more CB not named Sagna. I like Bac filling in for us, but then we're without our first choice RB.

Saying that, a DM who can cover CB or vise versa is probably the ideal player. Any out and out defender will know full well they will have to play second fiddle to Kos + Mert, as well as Verm when he's back.
