I don't think there's any intention to play Pogba where you're envisioning. All through pre-season he's played as one of the two deeper midfielders. I'd be quite happy with him and Scott there. But it begs the question of who plays as the 10.

He doesn't fit with the way Ole wants to play so better to get shot even if it leaves us short on numbers. Greenwood is going to be massive anyway
Don't see why, better to get someone or use academy players who don't have a first touch like a bottle of lube.
As a Celtic fan I'm gutted he is leaving but he has more than earned the move. Arsenal are getting a quality player who I think will quickly prove to be an absolute steal.
He's not 32 and won't be earning £150k+ per week though. I just fail to see how signing a CB that's proven himself to be a liability a good thing.
Well we’ll have to wait and see how it goes. He’s not long term though. We have Holding, and Saliba will be back next year, so it screams of a signing to bridge the gap.
Stop-gap Prem experience and leadership to tide over a team that has two or three young centrebacks with promise, at a point where we likely have little ready money for a player that would really improve that position due to other recent purchases.
I am no fan of David Luiz, but he's a proven winner and £8m in a market where £26m only gets you an injury-ravaged Tyrone Mings… unlikely to see many complaints.

Edu and Raúl. The dream team getting bits done
Can’t wait to see how we line up on Sunday. Can’t even begin to guess.

I wanna see luiz standing next to guendouzi in the pre match lineup
There's plenty of more bad defenders that you can sign for £8m too. Somebody not being as expensive as somebody else doesn't mean it's a good transfer, just like Mings to Villa being a terrible deal isn't an excuse for signing Luiz.
The one area of Arsenal's side where they've continually struggled is at CB and it's because they've signed CB's that are absolute liabilities. David Luiz is a very good footballer that could maybe be useful at a side like Barca that have 90% possession but defensively he's proven time and time again that he's a liability.
When I had my stroke in 2012, it started with double vision. I’ll think I’m having another oneI wanna see luiz standing next to guendouzi in the pre match lineup

Our best 11 could have 4 new players! Gotta be pleased with that.
Much, Much better window than I expected. With Luiz, Holding and Papa, and Saliba coming next year, there’s really no need for Mustafi to hang around any longer.

Him leaving would cap off a great summer for us.
For once I'm genuinely excited for the new season to start. I hope Pepe starts!
