I think he was signed for a future 3 at the back. He's got the attributes of a wing back, as do Lewis, Palmer and Cancelo, plus a move to centre half would probably suit Walker as he gets a bit older giving us plenty of depth in that position.They may have a point.
I like the lads attitude and he clearly wants to be the best he can be....but as for his quality,where does he fit in?
He is neither good enough to be a left winger or a left back (the position he was signed for) in this side,so it does beg the question.....why was he purchased?
Why did we not find a player who could play the position now? or wait until one became available?

Could be totally off the mark though.
We'll see. He's just turned 22 and made a massive step up in terms of competition quality, how many players have we seen take a year to settle down and show what they're capable of in this team?I just cant see the required quality,and i think we have others that are better.
aJury is still out on him and the fact he didn't play isn't a great sign. He's not a good defender at the moment. He's rash and doesn't read the game very well. But in time he can change that, and going forwards/on the ball he's brilliant. He's spent the majority of his youth as an attacking player and his delivery is exceptional. To develop as a left back he just needs to train hard, watch others and take his chances when they come. When he has played, we've looked a bit too easy to bypass on the left hand side.
the 3 at the back myth. how many times did pep play it?I think he was signed for a future 3 at the back. He's got the attributes of a wing back, as do Lewis, Palmer and Cancelo, plus a move to centre half would probably suit Walker as he gets a bit older giving us plenty of depth in that position.

He was purchased because he clearly has raw talent but unless there is a huge surge in development he will be a player we loan out to a CFG club then sell on for a profit.They may have a point.

This 100%.Should have kept Zinchenko.
And he'll still end up playing more than Gomez will.Zinchenko has missed 10+ games for Arsenal and has fitness issues. There is no gurantee he will stay fit for the season
Long since I saw a good ball from that left hand corner delivered to the wingers. Not helped by Laporte injury.It pained me to watch zinchenko last night. Didn't have the greatest game but offers so much more than any of our lb options at the minute
I think that Gomez may suit to play the inverted full back role mirroring Lewis if Walker is back to the starting line. But perhaps Pep does not trust him enough.And he'll still end up playing more than Gomez will.
