Arsenal need a world class defender – Smalling is NOT that man

If you were rating Smalling on a survey, you would tick the ‘poor to average’ box.

That is all well and good if you are a midtable side who are looking for a utility player, but for Arsenal, who still hold delusions of winning the title one season, that is not good enough.

The Gunners need a world class star and Smalling is far from that.

In fact, he would probably only add to the issues the Arsenal back four already have.
