This is all horseshit. So the situation is that we're in for a LB because first-choice Gibbs got injured last night? If Gibbs didn't get injured I highly doubt we would've been looking at a LB considering the mess in other positions. You don't buy long-term solutions on the basis that someone's injured for a few weeks. In Gibbs' case, his injury record is worrying and I think it's good if we do get a LB...but I'm highly sceptical of the quality - we've been through the last minute bargain bin signings before. Santos was one. Lets just say Wenger's record recently hasn't been good on that front.
This!
I thought i was the only one and didn't want to comment till i saw how things panned out, but your post resonated with my thinking so ...
Hunter says we have always been on Monreal's case, wanted to sign him in the summer but couldn't wait any longer now given Gibbs injury.
Not all last min signings are bad, Monreal has been quality for a few years now
