Wonder what AMN did to fall out of favor so rapidly with arteta

Yup. We need to be aggressive about rapidly identifying whether players will start, provide depth or be sold for funds. This guy is in the last bucket
Seems like madness to me to sell Maitland-Niles while Bellerin is still here and would be our only remaining rightback.

Alot of journalists guessing Cedric will be made permanent since he is on a free
That seems like even worse madness to me.
None of the managers are warming up to AMN. So I don’t see why we should keep a player who is going to be underutilized. He’s obviously a physical specimen but there’s some disconnect with managers. We should rather find someone who is going to legitimately challenge Bellerin for minutes. That’s a better use of resources
Like the bullshit Southampton fullback that we gave a pity loan in January to grease up some agent. Seems like resources extraordinarily well spent for sure.
Two separate things. I have no idea what’s going on with Soares. But we should be moving on from AMN, Mustafi, Xhaka, Lacazette, Kolasinac and maybe some others. Terrible squad management.
Honestly I’d take Cedric as a backup right back if it means we have £20m to spend on a actual first team player.
Nelson can play right back, and I’m not saying that in a Wengery way
Personally think AMN is a better option for RB than Bellerin. There were rumours Bellerin was off to Atletico.
Ray, I think most of us have liked AMN. For whatever reason, it’s not happening with the coaches though
I thought AMN was having a good run at RB, then Bellerin came back and regained his place and didnt do much better. My feeling is we should sell both and look for a better RB.
Bellerin is probably too influential in the squad to sell at the moment. I really hope we don't sign Cedric for a backup though, although I very much suspect we have totally no funds and RB is not that important for Arteta as compared to so many other positions we need funds for
Right back feels important to me. It’s an element of why we aren’t seeing a full return on Pépé. AMN seemed like he could be a Kyle Walker like powerhouse, but there’s something the fans aren’t seeing.
Talking about AMN at right back is pointless if he refuses to play there long term.
Bellerin looked decent under emery. He may or may not be a spent force, but i don't want to judge him too harshly based on his post-injury performances
Honestly it can't be that hard to find a decent right back for under 10m from somewhere.
We just need 2 actual right backs. Rest of the focus should be on midfield, CB, and sorting out the striker situation.
