Welcome Sead Kolasinac. Signing has been announced.

monreal as a backup is our lb option sorted, but by going 3 at the back i guess kolasinac will be brilliant in the wingback position.

Yep looks like Monreal will back up Kolanisac in the LWB position if he's not playing LCB. With Chambers back, strength in depth starting to look very good, even if Mertesacker retires and Debuchy/ Jenkinson leave.

How has Chambers been doing at Middlesborough? Do you guys think he has a future at Arsenal.?

i saw middlesborough play all the top 6 teams and in 12 games i think he was their best defender. although i'm not sure how consistent he has been for the remaining games, but i reckon he will get a chance.

I watched a few games specifically to see how he was doing. 2 games looked very solid,1 game a couple of errors but generally thought he looked like a decent deputy. As he can play rb too, I'm guessing he'll come back as cover for CB and to replace Debuchy / jenks.

I agree Lakes. He and Gibson worked very well together and I expect Gibson to be the subject of interest from some premier league clubs this summer. Chambers was equally as good (statistically better, actually) and if it wasn't for him, Gibson and Valdez, Boro would have been relegated way earlier in the season. Sadly for them, their RB and midfield was utter rubbish.

Jim that's my thinking too, Chambers as backup RCB and backup RWB is solid. Hope we don't blow big money on any more defensive recruits, we're very solid in that area.
