Yup, but still ultimately proof you can play well in a one off game isn't proof someone can do that week in week out for years.
I think he can, I think its madness that we haven't played him more, like I said earlier the fact that he both wouldn't have started if the woeful Gervinho was fit, and this was his first prem league start are unbelievable and PROVE that Wenger has lost his god damned mind. Chamberlain looks effective(so far) for essentially all his time on the pitch, goal or no goal, he's doing the right things with the ball, attacking, not scared to go foward, creative, intelligent on the ball, pressures the opposition well and wins the ball or holds on to it well. The other issue is, Utd can buy Young, will likely get 4-5 good years out of him........ by which point Chamberlain will be desperate to leave Arsenal and Utd can buy him then.......
He is, categorically better than Walcott, he's almost certainly better than Gervinho(being his first year in a new league, new team its POSSIBLE Gervinho might come good), the fact that we haven't given him games is just retarded.
Same thing with Wilshire, he wasn't any better after being at Bolton than he was a year earlier in preseason with us, he is miles ahead of Song, at the time we still had Denilson, Rosicky, Diaby and Nasri and he was better than ALL of them. We didn't play him for a season and played worse players instead.
You've got a deep seated, completely unfixable problem when for over 5 years you simply drop "better" players for guys who are worthless week in week out. It started with Hleb, worthless worthless player, Pires proved himself game after game, goals, assists, creativity and genius that Hleb never once showed, yet we take off our second best player and leave on a worthless twit in a champions league damn final, and that decision cost us two players, one very good and one exceptional. It's only gotten worse since then.
I mean, Fergie's had his injuries to cope with and that means sometimes you play crap players, that's life. But what would most people do if Fergie dropped Giggs of Scholes to play Gibson every game for 2-3 years........ what if he dropped Nani for Obertan, etc, etc.
Wenger is completely mental, not least because Walcott is a runner, not a football player and Chamberlain plays the "old" Wenger way, direct, pacey, intelligent, talented and creative, Theo doesn't.
