I'm still furious when i see that. Why would you remind us, why? Wonder if the Refs are just against Wenger or AFC or completely blind.
Edit: good read tho.

Watching Bellerin play last Saturday I could help thinking is he taking giant strides towards fulfilling his immense potential? Is he improving both defensively and offensively. Part of me tells me not as fast as we would like to think.
Most of us love the boy so much we would happily turn a blind eye. Considering he spends so much time flying forward, his numbers are not that impressive. He needs to start weighing in with goals and assists. Right now opposition wingers don't bother to track because firstly they can't keep up with him, secondly, he doesn't cause much damage to justify the effort.
Watching him and Gibs pick up some worryingly high positions when the ball was with our not so good at kicking goalie made wonder if his defensive awareness has improved since his breakthrough season. You would expect them to work in tandem, one goes the other stays just in case play breaks down.
There was an incident in the game where both him and Theo were chasing after a long ball. Common sense would have said one stays behind just in case opposition defender heads the ball clear, pick up the pieces and attack again.
The boy would benefit from detailed micromanagement in my opinion.

Our full backs are this high up the pitch because of instructions not because they are stupid. This will change with new manager.

Bellerin is a good player, one of the better RB's in the division.
But he's definitely overrated on here(shock! all these great players yet we do nothing every year). Would like to see him toughen up a bit, show a bit more in challenges. Team needs more character.

his improvements and developments he made in the first year of breaking into team were immense
he's be due a bit of a plateau to be honest.
but even so I think he's been one of our best players and has also been pretty consistently playing with knocks and injuries this season

The least of our concerns - fantastic talent.
However, we do really need a bit of actual competition for his position. No, Gabriel the centre back is not this.

Debuchy was great when he first arrived. Seems a motivational issue now.
Could never understand how their salaries are not motivation enough, mind you.

The guardian reporting that Bellerin would consider a move to barca if Wenger was to leave at end of the season. Not sure what to make of this, but all these reports of players possibly leaving if Wenger does are not very reassuring. The club is supposed to be bigger than the manager.

Oh for god sake Özil Bellerin Alexis and Wenger in one summer is really unfair.
Can understand Bellerin leaving us if Wenger left wenger is the guy who give Bellerin the chance and made him one of best right backs in PL.
He signed a six year contract, he's going nowhere.
He's ours.
For life.
Or until he's 27.

Don't think we would have to worry about bellerin leaving just yet. He just signed a 6 yr deal and I'm assuming the club wouldn't be stupid enough to sell him. Would be a case of appointing a good manager capable of convincing him to stay (with good results or otherwise).

I'm sure, if Arsenal will hire competent Wenger's replacement, we will have very good chances to keep our best players.
There's no quotes at all in that article btw. Barca are desperate for a RB and The Guardian, who're usually a good paper, are putting 2 and 2 together.

Sell him if any of it is true.
Get another £50m to go with the £100m we'll get from Alexis and Özil.
Buy Mbappe.

sell all the team and buy Mbappe IMO.
Sure he wont be the only one with his eyes on a move when Wenger exits. Its a strange concept being loyal to the club after the individuals you are close to move on.
If you can get more money & play in a world class team like Barcelona go for it.

Anybody who's openly putting Wenger before the club can go.
**** Bellerin, **** Alexis, **** Özil, none of them have won us a league title, all of them have embarrassed the club on the biggest stage.
