If this is TRUE then Wenger must be suffering from senile dementia.
Yepes ' age is more than combined age of Chambers and Zalalalem.
He is old but its a short term deal, besides he was quite impressive for Colombia in the World Cup. Arsenal need cover at the back and with the transfer window closed its either free agents like Yepes ama Wenger promotes one of the inexperienced reserve players.
True but TV5 departure was anticipated and Wenger had the entire summer window to identify a replacement.He also sold Miquel,Djorou and loaned out Jekinson.
There are some rumours that Koz will eventually have to undergo surgery because achilles rarely heal on their own.This means Chambers will be fast tracked like Wilshere.He will then make a few errors as expected and the fans will be on his case denting his confidence.Saints who have a good history of youth dev thought he was not ready but Arsene thinks he can throw him into the mix right away.
Per and Chambers are also very weak on the left side as was shown in the Everton game.
Somebody is paid 8M pounds to ensure that the club is well prepared for the season.
