Looking at Arsenal’s defence yesterday we looked extremely strong, with yet another clean sheet after William Saliba’s addition to the Gunners back line.
And we still have Tierney and Tomiyasu yet to come to make us even stronger after their injuries, and Rob Holding waiting for his chances on the bench, so, to be fair, I can’t see the Spanish defender Pablo Mari getting much of a look in at all this season.
And it looks like he will get his wish for more regular game time after a successful second half of last season on loan at Udinese in Serie A.
Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Mari is “100%” on his way out of Arsenal, with both Hellas Verona and Monza keen on taking him back to Italy for the new season.
The transfer guru tweeted…..
Arsenal have received a new bid for Pablo Marì: Hellas Verona are offering permanent deal, Monza pushing for loan with obligation to buy in case they will stay in Serie A next season. ⚪️🔴 #AFC
Decision expected soon but Pablo Marì will 100% leave Arsenal.

Pablo Mari was useful when he played for Arsenal back in the dark days of Arteta’s first season in charge, but mostly due to injuries the Spaniard only actually made 19 appearances in his two years at the club, so he will be very happy to know he can go where he can play every week once again.
Good Luck Pablo!

The defense is frankley sorted ……Gone are the days of Mustafi Sokratis and Kolasinac…..But we need additions up front….Diaby Depay?!
Diaby Depay? More chance that I will be named the next Pope, so Nostradamus, you plainly ain’t, Pires old son!
Wenger wonders from his last years….
Great to see all the deadwood steadily being shifted to loesse teams. Not much actual money coming in return but hey. whats new about that. Not much!
And lest the accurate term “deadwood” should upset certain delicate souls, who seem to prefer players to the club itself, no less a journalist than the widely respected and award winning journo, Martin Samuel from the DAILY MAIL also used that term this very week.
Its called fair and free speech BTW!
And anyone who finds the word “deadwood” offensive , should be in the running for the woke snowflake of the year competition!
The term deadwood seems to be endless term. Yesterday so many fans were excited about arrival of Torreria, Mari, Auba, Laca, pepe but today they are deadwoods. Today we r excited about odegard, martinelli, jesus, white etc. Who knows tomorrow they might be deadwood too. So this is football. Fans need to have reason to have hope, they need to have reason for excitement. Rest everything is relative.
For the older readers of Just Arsenal
Deadwood is a town in the Dakota Territory in the good old USofA
It spawned a Movie called “Calamity Jane” who apparently lived in Deadwood along with Wild Bill Hickok.
The movie opens with Doris Day singing a song titled “The Deadwood Stage”.
Every year it halted at the Emirates to remove those players no longer needed by the club!!!!
PS: do we really need another Diaby??????
a
Dear Jon
MOUSSA Diaby let us be clear OK?!
Should we be ambitious or not?!
Spurs and Chelski are still ahead of us in termes of quality and experience let alone Man City and Liverpool …As for Depay truly gives you experience even though he’s reputed to be a “Bad Guy” but it’s a risk worth taken
A ‘strange’ signing by the disreputable Sanhelli especially after Mari was only brought in as a loan deal from January to the end of the season. Hmmm.
That said, he hasn’t been able to go to a higher level and is moving on so I wish him well
He’s been a bit unfortunate with injuries, but imo he’s a perfectly good backup CB at our level (we can’t have a squad full of world class players, it’s just not sustainable). He’s surplus to requirements now, but i wish him well.
Agree !!! If he had some more stability and time on the side who knows.
