In answer to some of the posts there is no way I'd be letting Chambers go as he's both HG and a hybrid RB/CB/CM = convert him into an inverted WB as Bellerin will miss the start of the season.
In relation to VAR Zaha becomes a massive threat in the final 3rd, and was the most fouled player in the PL last season. Â As such then we shouldn't be looking to sell Laca.
Just wondering if Emery is looking at Zaha as a winger or as a forward in a 4123/wide 433.
Well done for changing your position in a hurry.
Good to see you abandon your "poor first touch" and "Alexis lose-possession" guy stats and find the more relevant "most fouled player in the PL last season".
That's what you gain by actually watching as opposed to simply reading figures. Stats are useful but should always be secondary as you are able to see the reasons behind them. Even watch compilations like Ricky's above do not show the incredible number of clear fouls that are waved on because they occur so often and are simply ticked off as lost possession by the bean counters.
As for Chambers as a wingback in place of Bellerin, are you Arsene Wenger incognito?
How did I change anything by commenting about VAR & him being fouled? Doesn't change the other stats and doesn't change my opinion that he is not worth the money and lacks end product.
As for Chambers as WB I said Inverted WB - so based upon what I've seen from MC that means the FB moves infield next to the DM / deepest CM to cover the centre much like the Brazilian Box 4 in their 4222. Further to this the WB then looks to play a supporting role through the middle rather than wide so as to provide numbers in the centre. Now considering Chambers won POTY playing CM/DM for Fulham last season it's not a huge leap.
EDIT - Actually there IS something that I have changed my mind on = my previous statements that there had not been anything reported re any talks/discussions or bids made.
