Debuchy is a real loss. He has looked very good and would have gotten even better with games under his belt.
Monreal, for me, is no more than a squad player, and so whilst he won't be missed par se, it is one less squad player available for us. But hey - not to worry, Arsene addressed these type of issues during the summer.
Agreed on Debuchy. Have to admit I was totally underwhelmed when we signed him but he's pleasantly surprised me. Doesn't back down from a battle & actually seems to relish it, surprisingly strong in the air and his energy and purpose up and down the flank has been great. I was a fan of Sagna's but Debuchy's been a breath of fresh air to be honest. Still, at least we've got plenty of cover in defence...

Agree completely. I was pretty disparaging about the signing but based on those few games he's proved me wrong.
