Which is good, because Per did not make the trip and we all know how thin we are at CB.

I think he'd actually be 3rd choice, and hell, maybe he ends up challenge Per for certain matches. I think if he comes, he's 3rd choice, which puts less pressure on Chambers. And perhaps lets Chambers play in the DM role occasionally?

Get Manolas done and if we can advance into CL group stage, I think we make a big signing that could be a DM or it could be a striker.

BFG is getting up there in age too, so Manolas might be #3 or #4 for a couple seasons or so. He might pair well with either Per or Kos too and be able to rotate often.

Exactly, chambers will be used mostly for cup matches at CB and we'll use Bellerin for RB in those ties. Chambers for now will be the back up RB where he was intended for. I hope to god Jenko tears it up at West Ham cause it's gonna be rough to get a game at RB the next few seasons...

Why does Arsene insist on playing Cazorla on the wing? He's too slow. Ox or Campbell would offer more IMO.

He has a good work rate and defends pretty well, he isn't fast but he is very capable on the wing. That being said he is better when playing through the middle.

That was extremely frustrating to watch. We're still the favorites with the second leg at home, but out offense looked so anemic. And I don't understand why Wenger didn't put in Campbell when we clearly could have used his attacking prowess.

Also, the second yellow on Ramsey was harsh, but Aaron shouldn't have grabbed the shirt like that, right in front of the ref.

Ugh.

Plus Arteta got hurt....

Buy a damn DM Arsene
