i need another center back as back up for laurent koscielny and thomas vemaelen i prefer the player to be under 25
 
Jores Okore is a youngster who becomes pretty good and is super cheap with his release clause. Papadopolous is 21M and also young (20?) but has low positioning and concentration plus he has only 14 heading at 6ft tall. I would advise looking at how much someone like Sakho would cost you, in my opinion he is a tank and does a great defensive job, on top of that he can play LB quite well making him very versatile. He is Left footed so would be a great back-up for Vermaelen.
 
Try and get Coates from Liverpool if you can, amazing player and they quite often let him go cheap?
 
Love Sakho, Does a amazing job whatever "Big" team i am.
 
Mertesacker got in the World XI on my Arsenal save. He was amazing for me! Just signed him for Bayern Munich (Same save, wanted a new challenge)

Hope you haven't sold him :/

P.S. I played with a line almost as high as you can get, as long as you have Verm or Kosc next to him to cover the through balls, his anticipation makes up for his lack of speed :)
 
Doria is more than capable of being a backup, even pushing for a place in the starting squad and has a ridiculously cheap buy out clause at the start
 
I picked up Okore 1st season and this season picked up Dede for 26m to rotate this season with Mertesacker before i sell Mert next season.

tbh, you don't really need to improve the CBs too much yet, 3rd season is when it will start to matter most.
 
Iñigo Martínez, Raphaël Varane, Kurt Zouma, and others that have been mentioned like Okore, Sakho and Papadopoulos.
 
Toby Alderwerield, Matts Hummells, Neven Subotic, Inigo Martinez, Victor Ruiz (had this guy for 4 seasons now for chelsea and when i signed him the deal included a clause of £40m after 40 league league goals as i was desperate to get him... there's me thinking he'll never get that and he's now 5 GOALS AWAY!!! gonna have to sell him before he gets those ;) so yeah if you want goals then go for ruiz :)
 
Wouldn't spend millions on a amazing cb who's going to be a back up, just wasting talent, Danny Wilson from Liverpool would be good, and he's British and quite fast
 
okore is a mistake at arsenal. he isnt good enough. he is a career 4th CB at arsenal.

Sakho is a great buy. I managed to snag phil jones in the 2013 summer window for 18.5 million pounds after unsettling him. Man U seems to have trouble keeping he and smalling happy, so get one of them.
 
shawcross hamuels and wanyama are the top three defenders in the game


sorry for the name if i wrote them wrong all goes to 5 stars
 
I know you were looking at Under 25's but Raul Albiol was transfer listed at 6mill at the start of my season. Was 25 or 26 when I bought him and wages weren't too bad either. Absolute rock when called upon & never complains.
 
Ezequiel Munoz.. i definitely recommend him, i signed him for 12 mil. € and he's amazing
