Bbc reporting chambers for £16mil
Sanchez, Debuchy, Ospina, Chambers, Schneiderlin.
That's an 8/10 window for me at least, far more than I was expecting.

Chambers would be a great signing IMO, I feel sorry for Soton atm though, they are going to be losing so much of their team. I think Chambers has a lot of potential, is versatile enough to play in a few positions and young, £16 million seems a fair fee too.

Hopefully that figure is taken post-adjustment taking into account performance bonuses etc.
RIP Jenkinson

We were pretty cut up losing Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy in one window. Imagine if we'd also lost Sagna and van Persie at the same time.
This analogy currently relies on one of Fabregas/Nasri being Lovren, the rest are position for position, but I'm sure they'll lose enough players that the whole thing works out. They could also be losing Rodriguez and Schneiderlin, so add in Vermaelen/Koscielny and Wilshere/Song to that list.
It's not dog eat dog, it's a pack of dogs dragging someone down in the street and viciously ripping them to shreds in front of their family.
(That said, Chambers seems a good signing, and I'm sure I'll still be buying tickets.)

Southampton are a very rich club and aren't in financial difficulty so they don't need to sell. Its not like we're forcing there hand. The owners, for some reason, obviously think it wont hinder their progress too much. I would expect Koeman to re-invest the funds on players that will fit his system.
Its worth noting that Chambers isn't even first choice RB at Soton. Clyne has that position locked down, and the next RB from their academy, McCarthy, who will most likely be promoted into the first team, looks very promising from what I've read.

It's not as if the players are pledging their allegiance to Southampton.....
Money talks.

The only player that really forced a move was Lovren.
...and on the other hand they have completely mugged off Liverpool and United for Shaw and Lallana, getting way more than they deserved for those two, and they are also about to sell us their second choice RB for £10-15M. Why is everyone shedding a tear when they have the means to reinvest in better players?
Its almost as if people are claiming that the likes of Shaw, Lallana and Lambert are irreplaceable which is bizarre.
Who the **** is Dicky Law seriously? The guy is like some omniscent transfer dealing animal! It's most likely under £15m imo.
David Ornstein @bbcsport_david 10s
Chambers close to completion, fee above £10m, terms not finalised. Seen as versatile option RB, CB & more advanced if needed #afc #saintsfc

which is sort of unusual because Chambers is heavily rated over Clyne by many fans. He might be the second choice RB but the RB that wenger chose to buy for arsenal was him -- Chambers
they do have some other promising youngsters elsewhere though. I agree with your last sentence. They're easily replaceable

I reckon Arsenal need to make it more apparent between, Chelsea, planet of the apes?
Oh so one one of those things. Chelsea fans are quite interesting though, unique specimen

The elephant in the room is the fella who started the suggesting revolution crap, Well my grandad put a bullet between his head, left a shallow grave and then he went back to bed. Pointless people.

Did BconButty say Diaby was overrated because of his Liverpool performance?
Will say that I've seen Diaby live roughly 30 times and I'm very sceptical at the best of times but Abou Diaby is top top class though.
For most people recently it's the Liverpool game that sticks in peoples head. As if Diaby did nothing before that? Abou Diaby at his best is every bit as good as Vieira.

Bbc reporting chambers for £16mil
Is it just me who thinks £16m for Southampton's reserve right back is a bit extreme? Yes he could go on to be a great player but he's played about 20 first team games! £70m for Lallana, Shaw and Chambers, the premium for English talent these days is a complete joke.

[Inserts all Utd fans justifications for overpaying for Shaw]
I'm not going to pretend like I've seen Chambers at all but AW obviously rates him. I'm hearing he was a better prospect than Shaw and he has the potential to be Arsenal RB for the next 10 years plus he can act as 4th CB.

Not disagreeing about the English premium but Southampton fans seem far more annoyed at losing Chambers than Shaw which tells you something.

He played against us in the 2-2 at St Mary's and was pretty good that day. By all accounts AW has had his eye on him ever since he was promoted into the first team. A lot of Saints fans are say that there isn't much between him and Shaw as well. Both Shaw and Chambers will look like bargains if they are first choice for their respective clubs for the next 10-12 years.
Soton have made some serious cash this season, they don't even need to spend all of it to be back up to where they are now. They've replaced Lallana and Lambert with players who are just as good, if not better. Koeman seems to know what he's doing. But it's sad to see the player exodus at Soton.
Dark days for Jenkinson though, looks like it may be the end of the road for the Corporal. Debuchy for 2-3 for Chambers and Bellerin to slug it out for that starting position.
