10 Things Arsenal Fans Need To Know About Mathieu Debuchy

1. His Signature Secures The Long Term Vision Of The Club

With Sagna leaving, the club has a problem: in the past we have lost Vieira, but Fabregas was ready. Then we lost Fabregas, but Wilshere was ready. Then Wilshere kind of disappeared and became friends with the physio's and Ramsey showed up. Jenkinson and Bellerin: they are the future of the Arsenal right flank, but neither of them are ready to step up and own that position yet - they aren't quite finished developing sufficiently for the big stage. The chief benefit of Debuchy is that he comes into the squad ready made, having proven himself not only in the Premier League but also on the world stage, and at 28, he still has his peak years ahead of him. He will provide ample time for the young right backs at the club to develop and mature into the roles that the club have for them. Debuchy should be a great signing for the club, and one that comes at a very reasonable price considering the inflated market that he is in. What do you think of the signing of Mathieu Debuchy?
