KOSCIELNY

The best we can hope for is Debuchy coming back in, or Bellerin doing enough to impress, so that Chambers can move centrally. Even that still feels makeshift.

I can't see koscielny playing before the new year

Wenger has seriously facked this up

We all know how this ends, Kos won't be seen again til next season and that is me being optimistic. I feel bad for him, it's Wenger's fault this has happened. He knew Kos had a dodgy achilles but played him anyway, rather then go out and actually buy a defender who could play instead of him. Kos will probably never be the same, career ruined because of Wenger.

Why can't we see chambers at CB and bellerin at RB for some games? At least we'd have players playing in their preferred position then. I thought he looked decent. Good enough at least to use against the lower teams you'd think.

Stop it, you're being too sensible.

Think we all knew Kos' injury would be more serious than the club tried to make out to begin with.

As already mentioned, not sure why, as he's recently been officially promoted to the first team squad, Bellerin hasn't had more of a run out, especially considering fellow recently propmoted defender, Issac Hayden, has been ruled out for 6 weeks.

Looking at all this makes the loaning of Coquelin who, despite probably being in the last few months of his Arsenal career, was still at least an option to cover the full back positions, utterly bizarre.

Agree, Chambers may be inexperienced but he is bless with more of the skillset required for a CB than Monreal.
I see it getting ugly with the fans at the Emirates if we are beaten by Manu in a couple of weeks

Koscielny will be dead within 18 months and that's be being optimistic

"In a long line of poor decisions he's made over the years, this is the most moronic of all. What a clown."

Sadly I have to agree Sheriff, despite his ability Wenger makes too many bizarre decisions to be a great manager.
