Shame we couldn't keep him. He was decent enough going forward but reliable in defence. The trio of him, Mascherano and Carra worked really well. Replacing him with the more attacking but less defensive Johnson affected the balance of the side with Carra being pulled out wide more. We really missed Arbeloa, more than you would think for a player signed and sold for modest fees.Originally posted by Imy View PostCan't remember, but why did we sell Arbeloa?Never knowingly optimistic

I remember him marking Messi out of a European game.
I like Johnson, but he cost £18m plus very high wages, Arbeloa was much better value and was flexible enough to play in all defensive positions.
We've sold badly and not replaced well.We come not to play.
