The Emirates, where promising young Arsenal defenders come to die?

The Emirates, where defenders come to die?

Rob Holding, was signed up from Bolton
And for 3mil he didn’t cost a bomb
His early games, in centre back he slotted
And he left the cup final with Costa in his pocket

But since then his ability it has waned
The quality he showed, hasn’t been seen again
How do you un-train defenders? It makes me cry
The Emirates, where defenders come to die?

Calum Chambers, arrived from Southampton
A centre back with promise and lots more to come
In his first season he looked class, the looked all that
He got the call up and earned himself an England cap

But since then his ability it has waned
The quality he showed, hasn’t been seen again
How do you un-train defenders? It makes me cry
The Emirates, where defenders come to die?

Sead Kolasinac, a freebie, from Schalke 04
The best left back in the Bundesliga last year for sure
He started with passion and he showed no fear
The fans were impressed and rightly did cheer

But since then his ability it has waned
The quality he showed, hasn’t been seen again
How do you un-train defenders? It makes me cry
The Emirates, where defenders come to die?

Hector Bellerín, came in and showed his guile
He came in at right back, with plenty of style
He replaced Mathieu Debuchy, a class international
Got called up by Spain, his talent unquestionable

But since then his ability it has waned
The quality he showed, hasn’t been seen again
How do you un-train defenders? It makes me cry
The Emirates, where defenders come to die?
