The Calum Chambers Thread

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

'The best things in life are unexpected' -Eli Khamarov

Welcome to the club Calum Chambers. Apparently had his medical yesterday and fee already agreed. I'm guessing it's just the picture taking at the training ground that needs to be done.

A solid right back who is a) homegrown b) has lots of potential c) is a Southampton academy player.

It seems the loss of Chambers has been the final straw for Soton fans, many could understand Shaw, Lallana and Lambert going but they didn't envisage Chambers leaving. Many believe he's better and more consistent than Shaw which is a good sign for us.

Debuchy for a few years then Chambers steps in. More importantly, Wenger splashing £12m-£16m on a backup right back, what the hell is going on? We finally have quality depth.

So do we see this kid being a RB or a CB in the long-term (or even immediately)? Obviously most of his experience for Southampton has been at RB so far, but there seem to be quite a few people who have worked with him who rate him as a future CB for club and country?

That's what I heard that he can play rb or cb maybe he is replacing Sagna versatility to add depth to both positions.

And, let's be honest, that versatility is probably vital right now, as I can't see us signing more than 1 CB this summer, and that's likely to be a replacement for Vermaelen, and not an addition...

I'm going to be honest and show my ignorance, i haven't seen much of this kid so i have no idea whether he's any good or not.

Seems to be like Southampton are in money troubles

Never even heard of him, not one of Southampton's star players, not sure why we're splashing out 16 million on this guy.

Great player, one of Southampton's star players. Great decision to spend £16m on him.

They would have won had the hero Neymar Junior not been savagely and brutally murdered.
