Summer transfer joy and happiness

Bellerin: "So many people tweet me saying focus on the game (having seen me at fashion shows or whatever) & I am just like don't worry...I am a human being. I have passions, I have hobbies but equally, I am a footballer & thats my main focus" #afc https://t.co/8MvrZAiibp

We aren't going to spend a considerable amount on a back up right back either with at least 3 more pressing positions to address.....so we shouldn't we promote from within? If there was a natural understudy RB ready to play back up now I assume he'd already be in the picture but as there is not I see no reason why AMN can't.

I'd like to see AMN be given a run at RB actually. I've been impressed by him at LB and even though he has made some mistakes he has done quite well defensively.

Bellerin isn't a good defender himself and he's not even a good attacking fullback. Apart from running fast what does he do? He's been Wengerised. Safe pass, safe pass, safe pass, weak floated cross to nobody. Not even Giroud could make anything out of his crosses.

AMN is much more proactive in the final third, give him a chance.

Why on earth would you do that

It’s like turning on the air conditioning in your flat when there’s a raging fire in the corridor

We need players that have pace and are strong on the ball in central midfield and AMN is a central midfielder

:lol:

Football isn't a 40 hr a week job. Why can't people just accept he has the time to wear some tramps clothes and be a top professional.

When he over hits a cross into orbit it's not because he was wearing a skirt a week earlier.

Somebody plays well in one position for all his adolescence years and more. Wenger buys him and plays him in a completely different position.....Fans start blaming the player. AMN deserves a chance in the midfield. In a few years from now we will hear the kid refuses to extend his contract and we under why.

I actually think Bellerin can be the best right back in the world so am inclined to persist with him there. I just think that I can make my peace with AMN who I agree has been very good on the left as a back up right back, especially if he excels and it actually gives Hector some competition.

To be clear, I actually want to see AMN in midfield but I think he is good enough and young enough to excel in a few positions and to my disappointment, clearly Wenger is reluctant to play him in midfield.

We have Xhaka in midfield not Xabi Alonso and he still won't give him a go.

I think you need to check your facts on how many players are in academies, play 1 position and graduate to full top pros in that same position and actually stay there.

You will happily ignore the times Wenger has successfully identified qualities that were useful in another position because it suits your view but in reality young players positions are more fluid than you want to believe.

Wengers eccentricity should not be the new normal. He ruins players. take Kieran Gibbs for instance. He came through the ranks a a LW, he was excellent for us in an Emirates cup game some years ago. Wenger deployed him as LB did not coach him there and it stuck. 10 years and he is still a rubbish LB

So you think his actual issue is that he was a LW and not that he simply didn't have what it took to be a top player?
