It is difficult getting a 4th choice CB as you want someone who can step in straight away so perhaps a experienced head would have done. I still think Ferdinand could have done a job for us, past his best but hates John Terry.

Anyway maybe we have a superstar in the youth team, who knows. The Capital One cup team will be interesting.

Also Wenger has said Bellerin is quality going forward.... hmmmm rather have a right back that can defend first.
Monreal at CB has to be suicide. If we knew it would be difficult to find a third choice CB, why sell Verm to Barca? He still puts profit over practicality. He’s now saying we need a bit of ‘luck’ to stay injury free. No, we need common sense. We sold Verm, sold Djouoru, sold Ginter .sold Miquel , Sagna walked and loaned out Jenkinson. I’m pretty sure a few posters will say they were all rubbish and that was the argument when talk of Verm leaving cropped up, but I doubt anyone would go as far as arguing Monreal is a better option for CB. If we couldn’t find a dedicated 3rd choice CB, why not bring back Alex Song? We need a DM anyway.
