Brutally true.

The Jury said:Well it depends on who Wenger rates higher, doesn't it?
For all we know (and its the only explanation I can think of for not letting Bellerin play RB so Chambers could play CB) he rates Monreal a better CB than Chambers.
Would that be beyond the realms of fantasy for Wenger?

Chambers plays RB, because he has more experience than Bellerin.
redwhiteAustrian said:There's no coincidence in the fact that Kos is more comfortable as the left CB in the centre of defense. That's one of the reasons why his partnership with Verms didn't work, but the one with Merte does.
I for myself, don't think it's necessary to have a left and a right footed CB, in contrast to Wenger who often stated that.

I'm sorry but I don't buy this at all. Mert and Kos had a phenomenal run together at the back and are both right footed. Why would Wenger now suddenly want a left footed centre back?
I don't know how Monreal was even considered an option anyway, he is not a centre back. We had Isaac Hayden and Ignasi Miquel available in pre-season too. Why not take a longer look at them? They are centre backs, again Monreal isn't.
Chambers has more experience at RB than Bellerin but not by much. He arrived here having been a back up to Clyne at Southampton. Chambers is a better centre back than anyone else who is fit and available, and that is a position of the pitch where you pick your team first. A talented but rookie right back playing in his best position is much less risk than a back up left back playing out of position in the heart of defence.

Glad someone is seeing sense on this front. But even then I think you have it slightly wrong but looking in the right direction.redwhiteAustrian said:Wenger wants one left and one right footed centre half, and after selling Verms, Monreal is the only other option, as we already saw in pre season.
