There are reports that Man City are willing to sell Nastasic to us for £5m. He has high wage demands of £75,000 per week, but is young, tall & promising. If we signed him & used Chambers mainly as a centre back, we would then need an additional RB & ideally a replacement for Monreal at LB. Ideally Clyne & Mings. Mings is a possibility, a young tall, athletic, English LB. I don't think it would be easy to sign Clyne, but I would tempt Southampton with an offer of £15m and tempt the player with a decent wage package. These signings would sort out the defence.

Signing one CB alone & getting Jenks back from loan should do us I reckon.

RB- Debuchy, Jenks, Bellerin
CB - New CB, Mert, Kos, Chambers, Hayden
LB - Gibbs, Monreal,

Obviously we still need a CDM but that bunch of defenders looks alright to me.

Lescott is joining in Jan, Chambers is going to be like a Petit long term, not a CB.Wenger is really hard over on this apparently. Poor kid was left sinking last week at RB but I really rate him in the middle.

Did not make this up, it's 5.00am and it's kept me awake.
My best friend told me this and he is spot on on pretty much everything including my golf course having a buggy ban tomorrow which is not good as I hurt my back the other night and don't want to carry my bag. I know how our team feels carrying out CBs

Someone else told me we are getting Pedro, but we can all read papers so take that for what it is.

That's all from me, expect to be asleep just as my 6 year old wakes up :(

I don't believe for one moment we will sign Lescott. However, Chambers is proving to have been an excellent purchase. I feel that he will ultimately be a centre back. He was not protected at RB against Swansea, which tends to be an oddity of Wengers post 2005 tactics, leaving his back four exposed without protection of his midfield. Once all our defenders are fit, I would like to see us try a fluid 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2 formation with Giroud & Welbeck up front. The four man midfield could include Chambers played centrally next to Wilshere, with Walcott & Sanchez played wide. Sanchez with his desire and workrate could cover Gibbs & Walcott may learn to help out Debuchy.

Hope you are right as I don't want Lescott.
