As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Yeah, perhaps you're right. I just found myself yelling at him a lot today!!
But I'm just surprised that knowing as we do that Wenger likes his players to be nippy, athletic and mobile, in the absence of Gibbs teams are gonna exploit him as the weakest part of the defence
I think his unpredictable style, of which his purposeful forays forward are a major feature, are giving opposition wide-players a hell of a lot more to think about than in the days of Clichy.
The irony with Santos’ style of play is that it fools the opposition into thinking he can be attacked, in turn opening up space for Gervinho and Co to exploit further up the pitch. Chelsea fell into that trap, getting change out of Santos on occasion, but they sacrificed their defensive stability as a result and conceded five.

I think he may turn out alright once he adapts to the league, he's a likable player that's for sure.
If he steps up his fitness & postional sense, he could be OK for us, at least for a few seasons.
