I'd love Saliba to come and make good - selling that Bubble looks a bad movement at the mo - but why break the Gab-Ben partnership that seems to be starting to gel?

With Saliba, it becomes like every year we won a league during my lifetime, when we had 3 top drawer CHs of which we played two so we never had to worry. TA, Bould, O'Leary to Kolo, Keown and Sol.

If TA hadn't been banged up and we had the big subs bench we have now, we wouldn't have had to bring on David Hillier when Bouldy went off injured vs the Chavs in '90-1, and GG {him, not me} would have been Invincible before AW.
I liked AMN in there on Sunday, was impressed. I nice little chipped ball into the box early doors for someone to run on to was the sort of thing we don't see enough of when Sambi and Partey play there.

Not sure how Smudger rated him over White for MOTM but he certainly looked good. Midfield is looking better this season - hoping Arteta will realise Xhaka's limitations (like getting red cards!) and not stick him right back in the first 11. I'd prefer AMN or Sambi get a good long run there
