✍️ OFFICIAL Rob Holding (Out)

[HairSprayGooners]

Yeah Mustafi isn't going anywhere. Bloke won't be back into full training until later October/Early December. A month and a bit after that the next transfer window opens and he can openly talk to clubs for a pre contract deal. He'll be here for the rest of the season.

Chambers is the only one we can potentially see leaving, maybe on loan with option to buy towards the end of the window.

 

[Iceman10]

I didn't even watch the game in all fairness.

The other part to this is it would be another step up to play solidly in a flat back four than our current system, but we shall see. Arteta has a lot of goodwill behind him right now, and space to make his judgment calls.

 

[ClubLevel]

A lot of games this season following a heavy schedule at the back end of last season. Might not be too bad an idea to have an extra CB or two to keep the squad fresh and to cover for injuries.

 

[bingobob]

Makes no sense we would stop a loan deal happening. If he went there was always a possibility someone could get injured.

Arsenal transfer news: Surprise update emerges on £38K-per-week star

Arsenal could offload 25-year-old defender this summer

Not sure if this is likely, but here's hoping...

Look it's as weak as alcohol free budweiser, but here is a link to Holding being bombed out when White signs

Would be precisely what a well-run football club would do. Sell high when his value is not likely to go any higher, and very likely to drop, since he will be mostly a squad player behind White. Chambers and Marí would be sufficient back-up to White and Gabriel given our lack of European football.

Here's hoping, as you say. The Times is a good source, no?

 

[MaraDon]

Don't want him to leave, really liked him, both he and Chambers should stay

 

[truth_hurts]

I'll do backflips the day this mug decides to eave, really disike him. However, Chambers should stay

Excellent post

 

[Mudi]

Indeed should have sold him already when White interest was for real.

 

[Ash10]

He is an alright player but selling him now would be a good business move

 

[Alexs]

We should not be selling Holding simply because the club lacks the competence to sell a long list of other players first.

When Edu has sold Willian, Bellerin, Torreira, AMN, Nketiah, loaned or sold Nelson, worked out what to do with Balogun, Willock, purchased a midfield, a right back and possibly a striker all in the next 6 weeks, he can put his feet up on a yacht and sell Holding.

 

[TornadoTed]

I really like Holding but I think it is a choice between Holding and Chambers for who backs up White. I have a feeling Mikel would side with Chambers as he is better on the ball and can do a job at right back and midfield at a push.

? Cedric
White Chambers
Gabriel Mari
Tierney Taveres

Yeah even the Holding Hate squad has to admit there's more pressing matters than our CB with the most minutes last season.

You don't ask for much

 

[Riou]

Wow, Rob finally embraces his baldness, and Arteta wants him sold...life is harsh.

 

[truth_hurts]

Really thought a link was going to pop up. We live in hope...

 

[Ivan the Gooner]

He's surplus now, sell him would be smart thing to do.

 

[GDeep™]

He's surplus now, sell him would be smart thing to do.

How’s he surplus? White/Holding for RCB, and Gabriel/Mari for LCB. We’ll need to sign a replacement if he leaves.

 

[Ivan the Gooner]

Can't Chambers play there?

 

[truth_hurts]

Can't Chambers play there?

Yes and better than Balding.
