Richard Kiel was over 7 feet tall. And now he's dead.
Exactly. Not so clever now is it.

Cannavaro is 5ft 8.
Just sayin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And one of the greatest readers of the game ever? Mustafi is as good as Cannavaro now?
Don't forget Cannavaro partnered the likes of Thuram, Nesta, Materazzi etc.. all complimentary partners.
Mustafi hasn't an ounce of Fabio's talent, so very weird comparison
It's funny all the fun poking at this article. Same fans will end up in tears mid-season. Remember when Gabriel looked a good signing .
Another LaLiga recruit who's flopped miserably and he actually had the characteristics we needed, Mustafi is awful and will fail at Arsenal I'm certain.

As I am sure you are aware the (valid) point is that a good centre back does not need to be a colossus.
Maybe AFC should start scouting the NBA?

As we all know Mr Wenger avidly reads these posts for hints and tips. However, I think we need to stop playing with his mind as he'll be all a befuddle and do himself a mischief.
Does he sign a Big un' or Little un' ? It's all so confusing

It would have been had I made one yes.
Other than that top post as always Inventor.
Hey Inventor - apart from when Valencia get hammered by Real or Barca on Sky when have you actually seen this bloke play?
I mean if that's the only time you seen him then surely it is unfair to compare his performances against the best players of a generation (Ronaldo and Messi) to how he will fare against the likes of Lukaku, Kane and Troy Deeney?
Don't stress you won't even be lucky enough to get Mustafi
Holding and Asano are as good as it's going to get
Have seen quite a few clips of Mustafi and have commented on other threads that he liked to win the ball early like Kos.
I've probably said this hundreds if times now but God knows why we aren't in for Virgil Van Dyke. Why did we decided to take a punt on that shower of chit Gabriel for £10Mil when we could have got VVD for the same amount of money.
Wenger really had lost the plot when it comes to CB. Seems to love getting short CB (apart from Per) in the last 5 years. Verm, Kos, Chambers, Holding all 6ft1 or under.

No but you need to be an exceptional defender if you're undersized which Cannavaro was and Mustafi isn't, you also need the perfect partner to thrive.
Kos won't be that for Mustafi who is not a great defender as it is.

Yes, he's nothing special at all. Wenger going with the cheap option, Gabriel-esque signing that won't take Arsenal to the next level but will do a brief job

This. None are special in the air either, in fairness Gabriel is probably our best aerial defender but his rashness and poor reading of the game diminishes that.
The type of defenders Wenger goes for these days is why we see opponents get in behind so often and Cech is not the quickest off his line.
If we were set up to press and play a high-line I wouldn't mind these types of players but Wenger has implemented no style of play in recent years therefore our pairings have to be perfect and complimentary all over the field.
Kos-Mustafi is a disaster awaiting. We don't even have the forwards that'll allow us to outscore teams when our defence falls apart either. A horrendous season awaits
I also actually think Mustafi would be a good signings for us. He was one of the best defenders in laliga last season so I defo wouldn't be peed if we signed him I just wanted us to sign VVD.
In an ideal world I'd sell Gabriel and Mertersacker and buy Mustafi and Van Dyke. In a more ideal world I would have snapped up Alderweirad for £10 measly Mil before he went to Spurs but our manager couldn't see what plenty of others could.
Gabriel is dog sheet. I think chambers will eventually be better than him
Sky Sports completed a review on Mustafi which (along with other comparisons, and his stats) suggests he'd be far from awful:
