Mikel Arteta has added yet another signing to his Arsenal squad in the summer transfer window. Jurrien Timber has joined the Premier League runners-up for €40 million from Ajax.
At just 22-years-old, the Dutch defender back brings impressive experience to North London with 15 caps for the Netherlands and 2 Eredivisie titles to his name.
Operating primarily as a centre-back, he can also slot in as a right back. Arsenal already have decent depth in their defence, so JJ Bull is here to ask the question - how does Timber fit into Arteta's plans for the coming season?

Arsenal are serious about their rebuild, and it shows in their defense. When Mikel Arteta arrived, the Gunners' backline was one of the worst in the top six. But now, it is full of young, big, and technically gifted players who can play in different roles. White, Tomiyasu, Kivior, and Timber can all play centerback and as full-backs. Timber, Kiwior, and Tomiyasu can also be used as inverted options. Tomiyasu can play anywhere in the back line: right-back, left-back, RCB, and LCB. And then there's Gabriel, who keeps getting better every season. With this new-look defense, Arsenal are making a step forward in terms of building an exciting squad. They have the potential to be one of the best defenses in the Premier League, and they could be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.

Yep, the depth added in our recruitment in January and this Summer so far has added some much needed depth. Hopefully Arteta can incorporate Balogun into the squad while keeping him happy with filling more of a backup role is key to strengthening up front which is an area Havertz wont/shouldnt be asked to cover. This is the key to genuinely challenging in the league and FA cup while going beyond the group stage in the champions league...not replicating the Manchester City method of squad management with more genuine starters sharing game time would be a big mistake. I know managing players expectations and egos can be extremely tricky but I'd love Arteta to have a proper crack at it.

Arteta played Kiwior in Zinchenko's role in the first game of the preseason and I think he would be a good fit there. Obviously he is not as technically gifted as Zinchenko, but he is more defensively sound. He will be a great substitute in the latter stages of the game to give Zinchenko a rest and protect the scoreline.

The real game changer is an option we didn't see by JJ Bull as an example: using BOTH timber and Zichenko as nominal RB and LB. That would allow Timber to take an RCB position in possession, or even slot in md on the right of Rice (with Zichenko on his left) as RDM if I may say. Saliba - Gabriel(White) playing CB. That would be a game changer as it would allow Arsenal to build up with a 3-2-2-3(box in md) with Timber RCB, OR with a 2-3-2-3 (Timber as RDM), (Odegaard and Haverz as AMs) and apply a staggering control of the game and a suffocating rest defense forcing opponents in their box

Ideally, your Center backs shouldn’t be dribbling, but if the defense is dropping deep and your passing options are limited, why not dribble up to force the defense to react? Timber’s decision making allows him to do that and get away with it.

@camdustin9164 10 ай бұрын

⁠@@martytu20in a situation where there is a limited passing option, the safest thing to do is to lump the ball up the pitch and start a counter press, your CBs should never dribble out from the back in any circumstances, especially when teams nowadays gonna press you every chance they get. Also, Timber doesn’t get away with dribbling out of the back since he never does it. Watch him a couple of time, he is very conservative in the defensive third and always looks for a safe option instead of doing something bold and risky. Only when he get into the final third he would show case his ability on the ball.

He will most likely play inverted Right back it would be the best position for him maximises his good passing in the final third and how he does like to carry the ball along with taking out his weaknesses like not being super strong and being quite scared to make those risky passes in his own third. It will also give Mikel a way to change around the team on the park pulling zinny into a CB and Timber into the box midfield and if he gets marked out change it around where timber plays as the right CB. It also may mean Tierney will stay Seen as Tierney is an amazing CB and good at getting up and down the park while play CB for scotland

I do think that Arteta may be considering Tomi as a Tierney replacement if we can buy another RB. We have been linked to more even though we bought Timber and this would make sense if White is going to compete/rotate with Saliba for CB. Sell Tierney for £25-30 million and buy Iván Fresneda for a reported £17 million (Release Clause) is between £8-13 million profit. I anticipate Arsenal to activate the 1 year extension (So 2 years left) in Tomi contract and sell him next summer IF he doesn't contribute enough. This would allow Arsenal to go for a top LB like Theo Hernandez as a big signing.

Honestly surprised Pep didn't try for Timber - I reckon he would be a good fit for the current City tactic.

Pep likes a little bit of experience in his defenders. Notice he didn’t buy anybody he wasn’t sure he could prop up into the team straightaway.. even Nathan ake already had some level of premier league experience before he bought him. However, timber is still fairly young when it comes to professional experience in football. He has a high ceiling but chances are pep would only buy him as a backup if he ever did. Which is why he has his eyes on Gvardiol who has way more international experience and plays in a stronger league too

@@vincentfadoju8531 I get your point, but two domestic titles under ETH; Champions League and World Cup is experienced in my book. Given City's ever decreasing options at right back, the fact that Timber is a natural wide/inverted full back who is happy in the centre and going forward, I just see him as a great fit.

@@jacobalexander4167 this is true. But Dias had top level experience from the Portuguese top flight. Benfica is right up there when it comes to champions league teams. And Ake had premier league experience as well as being an homegrown English player. He checked two boxes at the same time. I agree however that he would be a great fit for pep’s system. But if we’re being honest, pep doesn’t buy unless he needs to. And the only reason he wants gvardiol now is because Laporte might be leaving..

@@KZfaqStoleMyName759 I agree. He would look great in that City system. But he probably doesn’t think he needs it. Considering how well John stones is playing right now and they still have walker, akanji and Rico Lewis
