There are some things in football that have a sense of inevitability around them. Man United fans will disappear from all social networks when their team are struggling, Joey Barton will use those same social networks to criticise players who are better than him and Harry Redknapp will sign Niko Kranjčar. But one thing that seems to have become equally inevitable is that, every few years, talk of playing a Premier League game in strange foreign lands will resurface.
As reports suggest that Calum Chambers may be in line to 'solve' Arsenal's midfield human resource crisis, a conversation with 90 Minutes Online's Darren Douglas got me thinking about football's utility men. The Bird's Eye Potato Waffles of their trade, these are the chaps who'll 'do a job' anywhere.
