Then there is the small matter of Matthieu
Debuchy, who has done nothing but moan since he arrived at the
club, and who even forced Wenger to send him out
on loan in January (and
left the Gunners without a proper backup for Hector Belleirn) because he was whining that he needed to play to get into the France team at the European Championships this summer.
It wouldn't make sense to play
Debuchy, as an injury would
leave him stuck at Arsenal as well as the
club losing out
on the supposedly # 8 million transfer fee or # 1 million
loan fee.
