Arsenal have continued to struggle defensively under Unai Emery, having conceded fifteen goals in eleven Premiership fixtures and Former Spurs manager turned pundit, Tim Sherwood resolute that the Gunners have managed to recruit the wrong Chelsea central defender, despite signing David Luiz for a bargain price.
“Their problem was obvious to everybody. Not only the people who go to the Emirates, the people who watch Premier League football know that Arsenal cannot defend,” Sherwood talking to Premier League Productions.
“It wasn’t a hard job to go and find better defenders than what they already had. An easy job, just go out and do it. Try and patch it up, find something.
“Gary Cahill, he was an obvious choice. We’re talking about someone who’s a Premier League winner, a leader-type character, and they end up going and getting David Luiz.
“Now, I agree, good value [for] David Luiz, but go and find someone better.
“They needed to do that, they haven’t done it, the recruitment’s terrible, and at the moment they’re getting results that they deserve.”
Gary Cahill joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer and multiple pundits habe made it a point to talk about Arsenal’s mistake in signing David Luiz over the Englishman.
