Has Chambers played (for us) in the midfield before?

I expect LA to know this.

season.

But I would suspect that given he is neither Arsene Wenger, nor Steve Bould, nor maybe Boro Primorac, nor indeed Mathieu Flamini nor Calum Chambers I doubt he is fully aware of who will line out in the Arsenal first 11 this evening.

Well done to all concerned mind you.

I went to Coventry once.

Sheaf has trained with the first team a few times and was on the bench against Sheffield Weds.

Anyway, i expect Arsene to have Willie Carvalho signed on January 1st.

A late Christmas present for us all.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Sheaf and also Chambers if indeed he does get the nod tonight.

Might be better to get someone in used to playing at that standard rather than the Portuguese league.

Unless there was pre-defined contract clauses which allow a fixed fee. A selling club can take us for a ride in January if circumstances dictate us as being ‘desperate’, a scenario which will unfold based on results between now and then.

Us being taken for a ride in the market simply will not occur.

You are as likely to see Kim Kallstrom v2015.

January so if we're still within a few points or top then i think he'd maybe buy one. A loan deal (or nothing) if we're in the race for 3rd/4th.

The lad was never going to be able to play all 44 games so him being absent will always have been envisaged, and covered. It has now happened, perhaps for longer than ideal.

If however Arteta is showing that he simply cannot be relied on any longer for fitness then the summer decision that no further strengthening was needed may be revised.

[Rich]

I do not.

However none of us are getting any younger and injuries do appear to be continually or repeatedly catching up on him.

An injured footballer is no use to anybody.
