A squad player... Bellerin and co can get rest from not so important games and avoid injuries.

Don't mind them. Ronaldo scored 8 goals in January 2020, while entire Barcelona team has not scored up to that.

That's the reason

Too many defenders now at Arsenal.
Mustafi. Cedric. Luiz. Tierney. Mavropanos. Sokratis. Bellerin. Kolasinac. Chambers. Holding. Ainsley Maitland Niles. Pablo. Saliba.
Just too many. 13 average/ lacking consistency players for a 4 man position1
Arsenal's problem is the lack of top-class defenders and if it is for manpower, the midfield is lacking manpower.

Haven't you seen the memo that UEFA is givng Arsenal special concession to play 6 additional defenders until the end of the season hoping that a matchday squad of 17 outfield players should stop the rot.

They simply cannot bear to.see the Gunners out of Europe completely next season.

Mustafi is injured, mavropanos & Saliba loan, Niles is naturally a winger, chambers is out for the season, btw every top club should have two players in each position

Only Chambers is out on a long-term injury.
The rest are pretty short.
Arsenal lack top defenders. We just have bodies at the back and few top defenders. Lets hope Pablo and Saliba should be better than what we have at the moment.

he is a backup for bellerin who is injury prone.

Soares will be used only for europa league for the time being.

Maitand Niles moved to midfield as either defensive or attacking to back up xhaka and guendoizi

Good player and good premier league experience but I don't see him as an improvement on Liechstiner or Tierney or even Chambers. Besides Cedric is a RB, I thought Arsenal's immediate need is at LB and CB
..... Arsenal has only one recognized right back and that's bellerin.... What happens when bellerin gets injured.... That's why Cedric was signed..... As an emergency back up to Hector
Re: Arsenal Sign Cedric Soares On Loan From Southampton by Martinelli35: 6:43pm On Jan 31, 2020
Let's not underate the shrewdness of these signings.pablo Mari was voted the best defender in South America last year and held Liverpool's fearsome front three for a over a 100 minutes before the lone goal that decided the FIFA world club cup.he was also once a man city player,despite he never playing for them,they must have seen something in him to have made them sign him in d first place.he is 6 foot 4,a good organizer and passer of the ball like Luis and a good reader of the game as well,also very strong in the air.he could improve this defence if he adapts to English football.As for Cedric Soares,in as much as he is coming in for squad depth,he is an accomplished RB.he played the whole 120 minutes in the 2016 euro final that Portugal won.has 33 caps for Portugal,played over a 100 premier League games,can play at left back,is adept at freekicks,strong in d tackle,intense and is regarded as a skillful nacho Monreal.and oh has a good cross on him as well,marauds forward alot.and would allow Maitland to go to midfield and add more manpower to the midfield.so many upsides to these transfers,the only downside being the uncertainty that comes with all transfers owing to acclimatization and injuries.but a low nominal fee paid for both shows the shrewdness of low risks/high rewards transfers as these.its nothing to be sniffed at.

Pls say what u know n don’t talk trash .
Luis,bellerin,Cedric n even tierney are all world class. Kolasinac n chambers are average , while saliba holding maitland miles are all potential world class.
Arsenals problem is a lack of the team defending together and not necessarily a case of poor defenders.

Arsenal need a total overhaul of the entire back line. So this signing is still a right one.

Thank you for telling them. But you shouldn't have. Better to let them see that it's good business on their own then explaining to them.
We paid 7m for Martinelli last transfer. With the way he's playing now, he's definitely worth 15 or 20m.
Pablo was best defender at Brazil. We all know that Brazilian league as the best attacking players in the world even those they are mostly unknown due to poor publicity of the league. They dribble, score goals and are very tricky.

Arsenal's problem is the lack of top-class defenders and if it is for manpower, the midfield is lacking manpower.

When you put it this way, it seems a bit harsh. I can easily dissect all this names. Remember this are short term fixes, hence the loan nature.

Mustafi (Injured/Useless), Bellerin (Injury prone), Kolasinac(Injured), Chambers(injured), Holding(Just returning), Luiz(suspended), Tierney(Injured), Mavropanos (loan), Sokratis (ok), Niles (Midfielder), Saliba (loan).

So you see inspite of the supposed number, we are actually short in defence. Even if in the short term, this temporary fixes would help for the remainder of the season. Also note it is very hard to get those outstanding qualities in the January market, and so let's give Arteta time till summer to find permanent solutions to his defensive problems.

They already have two LB then Saka, Rb was needed, they also signed Mari for CB

Their 2 LBs are injured bro and are also both injury prone especially tierney. That's why I said immediate need. And Saka is not a defender

Our present defence issues isn’t not Arteta’s making. I think Arteta has been excellent since he came in. But Arsenal has many numbers in defence but, sadly, rather average players.
