He confirmed that he's coming to Arsenal to a French TV station after the match yesterday.

7.9 million is the fee.‘Yes, I will be joining Arsenal for next season,’ he told a reporter from TF1 television following France’s World Cup exit to Germany.
Anyway, welcome Mathieu.
We may have had some doubts over his value but now that's he's our player (all but), it's time to support the guy 100% and defend him against naysayers.
Debuchy
Always rated him
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
13th best player in the premier league last season*
*according to the whoscored.com rating system
The fact he plays over Sagna for France gives me confidence that hes a generally underrated player, or, that Sagna is overrated. Which one?
Probably confirms that Deschamps is a bit of a pillock more than anything. This is the same guy who didn't start Kosicinely despite being the PL's best defender, instead preferring Sakho and Varane, the latter of which doesn't get too many matches sitting on the bench of Madrid. And who caved into the media pressure of dropping Giroud after the Nigeria game and starting Greizemann, in the process losing Giroud's hold up play and industry and Greizemann's off the bench impact.Originally Posted by ARightTouch
Sagna is the better player imho and removing the bitterness of his cuntish move, I don't think many people on here would disagree with that. However it's not that big of a gap and Debuchy should be able to do a steady reliable job there without needing to be babysat. In the meantime a more long term target like Bellerin can develop so in that sense it's a good move. Besides, there aren't many available instant-ready fullbacks who are as good as Sagna so you've got to take what's available at times.
Good post...agree with you about Deschump. As always i guess time will tell if Debuchy will be a good signing or not, id say hes got a lot to prove though which may be a good thing.
When we signed Sagna, he was part of the Auxere defence which conceded something like 60 goals and finished 17th (or something like that) and a lot of fans were skeptical but he turned out to be an excellent defender.
Debuchy wil be a perfect replacement and will offer us a bit more in the final third.
Debuchy, excellent defender and good going forward. The best right back playing in the PL today, by quite a distance. Outstanding hair, every bit as good as Sagna's.
Für eure Sicherheit
Good good. Hope every one is taking notes here. This is going to be the party line that the entire board will follow from now on.

His wife is also named Ludivine (like Sagna) but she isn't a looker though
