A Carl Tiler for the YouTube generation.

I'm guessing somewhere in between. https://twitter.com/jamesbenge/status/1486790239792291844The Arsenal fans don't seem that pleased and would have kept him till his contract ran out. Basically said he's solid and has played well the last 2 seasons, just not one of Arteta's favourites.
Free or £2 million depending on what you believe.
If it’s including salary saved … well that’s £1.5m there (was on £60k/wk), so guessing it’s basically a free transfer with us having to pay them £500k if he turns out to be a world beater.Not bowled over by the signing, but we needed a defender and he is one, so happy days. Even more so if he turns out to be good.

I think it’s a decent signing for what could be a free transfer

One of my Arsenal mate's simply replied with the mesaage 'he's trashed' when I asked if was still any good. They do seem to hate most of their players though.
Just the kind of signing we needed to put pressure on our CBs for their position...or something. If it's reserve Arsenal CBs we were after, I'd have much preferred Rob Holding.
