I like him. Sort of hope we keep the 3 at the back formation for some games so Holding and Calum get games. Sign a left footed CB as well.
It was a very high fee for the little he had played & predominantly RB at PL level.
Hard road to break through here at CB with the competition & really hope he never plays a minute again for us at RB.
If we could break even or make a small profit to strengthen other areas would be all for it.
The only problem with Calum is the same as Mustafi; a little on the short side for central defence. I don't know why Arséne tried to convert him, because he would be useful at right back.
I think he was shoved into different positions because of injuries to our RBs etcWenger didn't convert anyone. Chambers was a CB when coming through the ranks at Southampton. They played him at RB and RW because he had the talent and coaches felt it would help his development.
Chambers from a young age was seen as a CB.
I missed that. Maybe Wenger just likes shorter centre backs. Most of them are just around 6' apart from MertesackerWenger didn't convert anyone.

Pers pace was defo an issue but his height & different style a big asset. Two undersized front footed defenders has never completely worked under Wenger.I missed that. Maybe Wenger just likes shorter centre backs. Most of them are just around 6' apart from Mertesacker
'Deals' don't matter to City. Deals matter to us. As far as they're concerned, they'll get the better players. What does paying £50m over the odds matter to them?We got Holding and Chambers for 20M. City will potentially spend 110M on Van Dijk and Stones.
Think I know who got the better deal.
I'm looking cash plus players. I think we've signed the better players.'Deals' don't matter to City. Deals matter to us. As far as they're concerned, they'll get the better players. What does paying £50m over the odds matter to them?
Wait and hope!I'm looking cash plus players. I think we've signed the better players.
Though we might have to wait for them to deliver while Van Dijk delivers straight away.
Most teams don't primarily target the goal with us, set pieces are the order of the day, zonal marking first before head height is our Kryptonite, oh and the odd abandonment of all sense of defense at the s***e moment too.Pers pace was defo an issue but his height & different style a big asset.

That's how football was, before the new money.Wait and hope!
We have an aging Kos, an inconsistent Mustafi and Gabriel and a young and unproven Holding for him to compete with. He's hardly trying to get into the Juventus back line.It was a very high fee for the little he had played & predominantly RB at PL level.

Thats kind of what I mean we are adding yet another right sided, light weight undersized CB. I hope we bring in someone to complement Kos preferably an imposing CB & ideally left sided. Its crowded back up wise without the starting quality.We have an aging Kos, an inconsistent Mustafi and Gabriel and a young and unproven Holding for him to compete with.

Unless you are Cannavaro I want more that 1.83m & mid 60 kgs. With the best will in the world that is not very strong or powerful for the position.What are you talking about with light weight? You do know that Chambers is very strong player?
