Ok pick any number of City CB's that were 40+, yes its still expensive but the chances of him flopping are pretty slim.

Seems like a great young defender with plenty of promise for the future, just like Nat Phillips who we should now be looking to sell for a similar amount of money.
Deffo upgrade on everyone you have at the back and he plays cdm as a secondary position rather than right back.

JIs he any worse than pau torres guy.
I'll be honest Varane doesn't look like a world beater these days either..

What like Ake?
Im not saying he will be a flop, i just think its pricey thats all but you certainly needed a cb and having the ability to play multiple positions is a bonus.
I guess in a way we could compare him to Rice as he's a similar kind of player but would be twice the price.
Ake had a fairly lengthy lay off with an injury.
White's a very good player. Whether he's worth £50m, probably not but if he's the player Arsenal want and you have a club under no pressure to sell then that's the price. I'm sure nobody thought VVD was worth £75m when we signed him and look at how that worked out. Obviously I'm not saying White's as good as VVD but sometimes it's better to pay more than someone's worth and get the right player than get better value on somebody that's ultimately not good enough.
The only concern I'd have with White is his size. He's not the biggest and it's no surprise that he wins just half his aerial duels. It's not as if Arsenal have somebody that could partner him and be that dominant figure either.

I’m more sceptical about this Lokonga guy we’re meant to be signing. Never heard of him in my life.

Hm.. his position is a bit undefined and is he going to replace Bruno?
Maybe I'm just too traditional in terms of wanting my wingers to have pace.
In my uneducated opinion, I’d be rid of Pogba and have him and Fernandes interchanging and free to roam.
The news of Pogba discussing a new deal makes me itch. I’m all for it if he actually bothers playing, but he’s like the Martial of midfield to me.

Villa shooting it down. Reckon they’re ready to negotiate a new contract.

Id sign pogba up on a record deal. Why we left it to now to negotiate is brainless.

Has he done enough to warrant it, or are you thinking of resale value?
I just don't get why he would. If he's not careful he's going to end up like Kane and never get his big move because he's priced out of it by multiple contract renewals and ultimately never win anything.

I think Bruno is more valuable to you tbh.
