I can put an end to the CB speculation ladies and gentlemen, the top class, experienced CB we want, nay need, has found his way to the Emirates.
Francis Coquelin has been training at CB in the US, he's revealed.
Joking aside, there's all chance that he's just playing there in training to make up the numbers, but it would worry me if we decided to try to convert him, instead of buying.

D do you think he will make him captain as well.

On thre plus side he was never a DM but turned out to be a fantastic one when asked to play there.
I doubt he will be as good a CB as he is a DM but I've a feeling we're going to find out :-)

He's too small, I can't see it happening. Pretty confident we'll buy a CB, even if they aren't of the highest quality.

Thing is Lime, our Cb's haven't been the tallest recently, except the BFG, of course!
Vermaelen, 6'0
Koscielny 6'0
Gabriel, 6'1.
Coquelin is 5'11, so he's not a world away.
Plus I wouldn't be surprised to see people start bringing up Cannavaro being like 5'9 and one of the best Cb's ever.
I hope we're going to sign a CB, a Manolas or Musacchio.
The more likely is Vermaelen back on loan or Coq at CB.
