eds please tell me Debuchy to Arsenal is not true, the lack of ambition shown with that signing would be awful.

{Ed027's Note - seems the interest is real. Surely you don't want us to sign a young right back which would effectively ruin Jenko and Bellerin? Debuchy has already replaced Sagna for country for the past few years and is proven in the PL

Buying Debuchy actually to me is proof we are shooting for title. Debuchy is experienced and already better than Sagna. Aurier maybe turn out to be a better players in 4 to 5 years but right now Debuchy is a better option.

Would be a quality signing, a player that is keeping Sagna out of the French starting line up.

I would be quite pleased with Debuchy. Always thought he was too good for NUFC (sorry geordies).

Experienced, knows the league, etc.

With Aurier you could get Sagna, you could get Eboue.

Bigger concern is Vermaelen. Strongly against selling him at all let alone ot Man Utd. It disrupts our defence too much to let both players go.

Particularly, when our 2 starting CBs are not getting much rest over the summer. One early injury and we are in trouble.

I like Jenko/Bellerin but what are the odds they actually become world class? Jenko is already older than Aurier and Aurier is clearly far far superior.

If we want to compete with the best we need the best, Aurier could become something seriously special here & I'm gutted that it looks like we're missing out.

Bellerin could still develop, he could play in FA/Carling cup games as well as start when Aurier gets injured and has to leave for African cup of nations.

I suppose debuchy would be a decent signing, imo I don't really rate jenkinson so I don't see him as a long term replacement for sagna, although I do admire his passion, but bellerin I haven't seen much of so if he will be as good as you see he is a player like debuchy would be ok I suppose not to hold him back
