Such a good signing on paper. Career derailed by another Stoke hitman. He's done here but we can't get rid without back up for Bellerin. Both FB positions need sorting next year.
For me it was his attitude. He thought once he was fit, he should just walk back in to the team because he was older than Bellerin. We've got so many injury prone chicken hearts who won't fight and he's another one. We lose so much with him in the team. He's no longer good defensively,is easily out paced and offers little in attack. I was terrified when he stood in for Bellerin. Yes to loaning Chambers and yes, Jenks may not be good enough.People despise him and I don't know why, other than he's stroppy ****. Maybe it's his first name. Loan Chambers, sell Jenkinson and keep Debuchy is what I'd do. He's solid.
Yes, of course [we are listening to offers for Mathieu in January]
When he had the opportunities to play when Bellerin was injured, he got injured. So I cannot do anything about that and I gave him last year the opportunity to go to Bordeaux on loan, but we had nobody coming in for him over the summer period and there are some things that are not true in this article.
We never blocked him going to Fiorentina, nor Espanyol. They had no interest in him at all because we checked that, so you have to take this article with a little distance.
on claims Debuchy was blocked from going to Manchester United…
They have never made an offer for him. It’s completely untrue. It’s sometimes surprising to hear things like that.

“I hope that’s not surprising to you,” Wenger said of his decision to prevent Debuchy from joining United. “It’s true. I stand up for that. There was nothing shocking in that.
“If Man United wants to buy a player‚ you loan players out to clubs who do not have the resources but not to direct opponents. I was surprised, yes [that United tried]. I can understand it but I found it logical [to block the loan].”
