In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
This guy was in the year below me at school. We all thought he was stupid only coming in once a week... oops. Although he has absolutely stuck it to our headmaster who told him that he wouldn't amount to anything! So congrats on that, and all the money and living the dream I guess!
He will be a liability if he has to play in any big matches for Arsenal this season though. He's not there yet with his awareness defensively because he's only recently been converted to that position, occupying centre mid or right wing for England U'19s beforehand.

Right-back or i will kill Wenger
I hadn't realised he was that versatile.
Neither did I. Can't see him getting in the team as a central midfielder though.
I wonder if this might accelerate Vermaelan's departure in any way, wherever it is he may end up.
Started out as an attacking midfielder, only really got shunted to right back as he got to his late teens. Think he'll end up as a centre half eventually, a good one at that.
Two impressive games at CB during the Emirates Cup for Chambers.
If we get Musacchio + Schneiderlin we'll have sneaked right in there.
Diego Costa, Fabregas, Felipe Luiz and Drogba in plus David Lulz, Lukaku and Ba out giving them an overall profit? Think they are well ahead of anyone in the transfer stakes. Going well for Arsenal, though.
Yes, those outgoings really do swing it for them.
feck
What's wrong?
He's an FM legend.
I want him as England's RB for the next 10 years.
He can be England's next 10 year CB instead!
I daresay he'll get a few games at RB anyway.
We've Stones and hopefully Jones or Smalling for the next years in that position
I like Flanagan but Chambers is even a bigger talent than Shaw imo....so i've hoped he would play RB for Arsenal after his transfer from Southampton
I think most of us thought he would too, especially once Jenkinson was loaned out.
However Wenger knows better, and our young RB Bellerin was mighty impressive against Benfica the other night (amazing really). Maybe he will be back-up RB. Though it was only a pre-season match, and the immediate query over him is his size.
I hope Mertesacker and Koscielny have a great season so Chambers must play RB
Bellerin was great against Benfica BUT they were awful the whole tournament
The match against City will be interesting
Shaw - Stones - Jones - Chambers
Doesn't look too bad for Englands future.

England have a lot of talent coming through. The question is will they all take the next step to become the player their talent alludes to?
and will they have a national team manager who can utilise their talent?
Huge praise. In what way ? Shaw is ridiculously good for his age.To be fair, the last generations defensive talent was pretty great. Cole, Ferdinand, Terry, Campbell, Neville etc
My mum lives in Southampton....so i have seen Chambers in a lot of Southampton live games (First team and youth) in the last couple of years
I think Sterling and Stones are the best english talents but then Chambers is next on the list
He has everything what a defenders needs and he's a very smart player (I love this players like him or Mata)
But his height is just 6 ft 0 in.....so i think his best position is RB instead of CB
King, Brown and Carragher too (A shame the first too were so injury-prone)
From what I've seen, shaw and sterling stand out.
Shaw has done more than Chambers. Both look terrific talents and I'm glad we got one of them.
