"Arsene Wenger doesn't play Gibbs cos he's English"... really..?

I completely agree. Theres not much more to add to your question. Other than Arsenal need another centre-back, and I think they should sign Mamadou Sakho. Only 20 years old and fast becoming one of the best defenders around. Great leadership qualities, can also cover left-back, and he's French so Wenger's gotta be hot for him.
