Seems arsene's recent transfer dealings may be due to tighter regs on the number of foreign players in the squad. Chamberlain and Jenkinson obviously both English, Cahill and jagielka rumoured to be his favoured choices for centre back additions. Clichy leaving leaves door open for Gibbs. Then with frimpong, Lansbury and Henderson on the 1st team fringes to add to walcott, ramsey and wilshire we could have a lot of British players involved next season. This may be a reason why he plumped for chamberlain over mata or hazard, both of whom I would have much rather seen however. We'll see...
