    I can't be gutted for a player that wanted to leave.

    Chambers getting an absolute rim job from both commentators on ITV. Funny how they didn't even pay any attention to him when he was playing for Saints.

    I understand that you are unlikely to break up such a strong partnership as Lovren and Fonte, however there were times last year when we were short at centre back.

    In fairness he is playing central defence and having a blinder which is something he never did for us

    Possibly because we weren't in the Champions League with a 19 year old centre back.

    Just as long as we have a 50% sell on fee for when City buy him next summer, I don't mind.

    Sell on fees are a waste of time with Arsenal...they don't sell our players on :( Someone must want Oxo.

    And? We were in the Premier League with an 18 Year old full back.

    So we weren't on telly as much, for commentators to "give him a rim job" were we?

    He was mentioned. He's now playing at a higher level, and at a higher profile, so is being mentioned more. Not sure how that's complicated?

    What I find strange is, when Arsenal come in for a player we are so obliging. We needed to stamp our feet more, £16M looked poor to start with, by December it could look like daylight robbery.

    I never said it was hard to understand. I said I found it humorous how with us he was just another nondescript player, now with Arsenal he's England's centre half saviour.

    We couldn't say no, Chambers, Shaw, Prowse and Reed until his new contract all had release clauses. He also handed in a transfer request just to speed it along.

    But he wasn't nondescript. He was mentioned quite a bit, hand in hand with our other teenage full back, just with slightly less profile (because he has a slightly smaller profile). You appear to be looking back with whatever the opposite of rose-tinted glasses is...

    He would have went, but we could have got a better deal.

    If he had a release clause why hasn't the club said as much (or have they and I have missed it ) ?
