Bellerin is Arsenal's best fullback but I highly doubt he showed much more than great pace in their youth team and "how can Wenger be expected to bring through youth when French international Debuchy and the pressure to win games is there?".

Regarding my criticism of Slade in the transfer market, I reckon Slade may have found better players overseas than most of his predecessors. I'd take Manga (not at 5 million mind), Immers and Saadi are probably better finds than Ole's, Malky's or DJ's lots.
