Also Chambers is both homegrown and has plenty of room to improve, he's still only 22.

Chambers was one of Middleborough's best players whilst Gabriel's best cameo was a few average games at right back. Levels.

Chambers best at Arsenal was one game at a charity shield game and another one or two at RB too tbf.
Gabriel is the superior athlete and bigger. That gives him the edge over Chambers for me.

People are being very harsh on Chambers. He went out on loan and had a very good season for a piss poor Boro team. Learned a lot from a defensive coach in Karanka whilst he was there and then had a good tournament with the English U-21s in Poland. Will be a solid option for us if called upon this season. We'd have a conveyor belt of players coming and going if we just gave up on them after a poor spell.
Want him to stay. He has learned a lot during his loan time at Boro.
Really useful option incase of squad rotation.

Rumours on Twitter that Jim White on talks sport radio is claiming Gibbs to WBA for £12m and Chambers to Palace for £20m.
I would be annoyed if this is true. Makes no sense selling two players who out performed Bellerin last season but we decide to keep Bellerin who is on a ridiculous wage.

Bellerin played injured for a majority of the season. Had an issue with his ankle.

You really think Gibbs outperformed Bellerin last season?
Sure Hector will have his head back on straight now Barce have a young RB better than him.
Hope we spend the 20m on Aurier problems & all.

OMG. 32 mp for these two. That's ridiculous.
If it's true though we should accept the deal, with that amount of money we can replace them.

I'm rather ambivalent about whether Chambers stays or goes. He had a good season at Boro and would provide good depth, but if Arsenal can get £20 million out of him they should take it. They have enough CB options and if they do go in for a top guy such as Van Dijk that would pay a good chunk of the fee. And truthfully it would probably be a good move for Calum because he'd have a chance to be a regular.

The thing is with Chambers he'll always be good at Boro level in a team that is set up to defend. He gets caught out for us when our backs are against the wall, he just isn't good enough and never will be.

Tbf he was only young and kept getting shifted about into about 3 different positions. Seems far too early to give up on him imo.

Of course Gibbs out performed Bellerin last season but granted that's not saying much.
Gibbs isn't a great player by any means but he isn't half as bad as some make him out to be on here.

The guy who played just 11 times in the league, most of them from the bench somehow outperformed Bellerin who played 33 times with an ankle injury. Seems about right.

On what are you basing your opinon on because I struggle to see how Gibbs out performed Bellerin.

Football fans are, as a rule, extremely fickle but ours seem to give most fanbases a run for their money in those stakes.
Memories are rather short and forget that Chambers performed quite admirably when called on during his debut season at CB. His composure and aggression were exemplary and his supposed lack of height never counted against him. It was only when he deputized at RB against Swansea during that 2-1 loss when Montero (who on that day would've made a fool out of anyone on that flank) gave him a torrid time. In that instance, he was tarred with the brush of failure.
It's amazing that Chambers is bludgeoned with the hammer whilst the walking calamity that is Gabriel is handled with a velvet glove. He deserves a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of his manager, he owes us nothing.
I honestly hope that Holding maintains his excellent form, otherwise he'll find himself on the end of a torrent of abuse from the experts that litter this place.

It was against Swansea, but other than that I agree with your post.

Don't get what people see in Chambers?
Slow, physical not great, poor in the air, position-wise not the best, ...
The only good thing about him is his ball-handling, he is very good with the ball on his feet.
We made a gamble back then and it was not a great success. If we can get a fee of £20m with a possible buy-back or sell on fee (25%) clause, that would be a very good deal!
