Haven't seen much of him this season but read somewhere he's statistically been the best defender on the league.

With Mertesacker no longer a guaranteed dtarter we could do with someone that tall in defence.

The only problem would be the price. Southampton conned us into paying 16m for Chambers. Imagine how much they'll want for VVD

Wish we'd gone for Alderweireld last summer, I think Spurs paid £11m for him.

We should have got him before he went to Southampton. He is too expensive for Wenger now.

Ramböue

Arsenal have 'laaaads a mannny...!'

But to work until you're dead. For a room and a bed. It's not the reason I left Mullingar.

No one would look great for us under Wenger.

Swap deal with Ox

Much rather keep Ox and swap manager.

I'm sure Wenger will authorise a swap with Koeman.

Actually, if the board tell him we're getting Koeman he might think it's Kingsley Coman - He's that mental

We were very interest in him but we chose Gabriel like complete idiots. He was bossing it in the SPL so they only question was if he could make the step up. Stuggled abit at first but knows hes used to the league hes looks very good.

Don't know why we didnt take a punt on him, only cost like £12Mil and hes 6ft4 beast with pace. But what the fak do we know.

Also was peed we didnt go for Alderwierd in the summer, he also only cost £11Mil and he was an absolute rock for saints last season on loan from Madrid.

Alderweird and Kos would have been an immense partnership. Hope we take a punt of Virgil though as hes looks class too and hes only 24.

Hmm, VVD seems like a decent enough defender but think at the price Southampton would want there will be better value out there. Don't think he's that good to be spending £25m + on him.

Alderweild was a real miss yeah, probably the best CB in the Prem atm

If Stones is rated at £40m+ then £25m sounds reasonable enough for him. Not that Wenger would pay that much for a defender but given the lack of quality CBs nowadays and our desperate need for one I think it could be worth it.

Who would be better value?

"Who would be better value?"

Laporte

He'd cost £35m+

He has a £40m release clause so no chance Wenger will be in for him. He will most probably stay at Bilbao but if he does move it will be to one of the Spanish giants or Manchester City.

Saints want Oxlade back so offer them £15Mil for VVD and give them Ox on a 1-2 year loan deal.

Perfect deal for all parties involved or is that too simple?

Unfortunately that makes too much sense to become reality.

I wanted him at United whilst he was at Celtic, thought he would be a good partner with Smalling.

Still like him, looks very solid in the PL.

I'm a huge fan of Dijk, I love Dijk

When was the last time Wenger brough in 'experienced Prem defender' don't tell me Chambers

He was a player I really wanted us to sign when he was at Celtic, but I fear Southampton won't let him go for anything less than an absurd fee.

Has everything a defender needs, and would provide us with some much needed physicality at the back, IMO.

Reid is doing well at West Ham as you can see by there position. He was available on a free as well lol
