I think we'll see him slot in sooner rather than later. At the moment, I would wager that Skrtel/Coates would be a strong CB pairing.
Unfortunately, I hear that Arsenal are closing in on Per Mertesacker, who, in my opinion, is one of the best CBs in the world. That would be bad for everyone, but, then again, considering the rest of their defence outside of Vermaelen, shouldnt be too bad.
