The guy on SSN last night said that we were supposed to buy this guy in the summer. We had the agreement in place with Malaga for the fee, and that was to give time for nacho to learn English, but the injury to Gibbs and santos being dogshite forced us to move his transfer forward.
So if it weren't for Gibbs we wouldn't have bought anyone.
Gibbs being out for 2-3 weeks, then 4-6 weeks and possibly 8, but more realistically until Christmas means this was beyond essential.
Yeh it was.
Just a shame they forgot about the other 3-4 places that were also essential.

Arsene Wenger says the signing of Nacho Monreal does not signal the end of Andre Santos' Arsenal career: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-arc...mportant-to-us … #AFCvSCFC

Would be world class WUMming to keep playing Santos anyway and leave Nacho on the bench.

Tbh , Santos is not a bad player as people make it look like . He is not a good LB but as a LW he can be a good asset for Arsenal . He is not an automatic starter but for a thin squad like ours he can be valuable asset when we have an injury . I assume you will not use your emotions like many to assess the situation . I know many fans hate Santos because of the Van Persie situation and his current loss of form . But when he scored the equalizer against Chelsea I didn't see people coming up with comment such as " Santos out " . He made a mistake and the fans showed they were not happy .Now he deserves a second chance at least till the end of the season .

DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
No, I don't think he's a bad player at all, but I have massive doubts over his attitude and professionalism.
