    Despite not playing in this tournament Holding is already the better player, largely due to his confidence. I haven't given up on Chambers and would try to keep both but if one has to go.....

    Funny old game though, innit. Chambers joined a squad that qualified for the Champions League every season and failed to convince; Holding plays for a squad that didn't qualify for the first time in ages and yet folk say he's done better.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Although Holding wasn't in the side when they were struggling and Chambers wasn't playing regularly in the side that qualified. So not that funny. Amusing, perhaps.

    Right. Fair enough; one struggled to get into a side that qualified and the other is considered a decent prospect for a side that didn't.

    Most amusing

    Fair to say that the relative performances of each player had little effect on the team's overall outcome that season.

    Holding has done better.

    I mean most people like him better.

    Nobody cares what I think, including me

    Could argue that Holding is further along because he played first team football consistently for Bolton before joining us. Chambers was very, very green when he arrived.

    Keeping both is a no-brainer imo. I think there is potentially a very good player in both.
