I don't care about this thing enough to argue about it. We can't know, but we know what Arteta has done, and said about his methods.
It is also likely they have learned from the Guendouzi incident.
With Auba it's impossible to hide it. With AMN it is not.Auba's corpse is not even cold , it's a stark contrast in situations and it's clear it has *very little* to do with AMN's GF. Arteta's own words prove that.
It's not a reach. We know Arteta doesn't play players who are not okay to be humble, and complain about lack of gametime.
He wants players to be ready when the opportunity comes, and not cause any kind of problems in the meantime.

I can't think of a good reason otherwise to drop him totally after the MotM, but you're free to explain it in any way you like.
I'm not arguing that this is the sole reason. I said "pretty sure it didn't help" as an additional point. Not sure why you guys make such a big deal out of it.I'm not the one arguing that a player was dropped because something his girlfriend did a good while after he had that performance, you are. He featured and trained with the team after she did so, unlike when AMN asked to move in the summer, where he didn't even train with the team.
I just gave you quotes from the manager himself proving what has happened, but you're more than free to believe in whatever you like!

Like I said, I don't care much about this. There are some reasons for him being dropped after the MotM performance, and my guess are some problems behind the scenes.
My guess is as good as anyone's guess. It's really weird, so what is your guess?
Thanks, I think that's another reason. Finally the out-of-proportion argument can be stopped.Simple, Mikel just doesn't rate him much, at least in midfield or as a "pure" rb. It happens a lot in football.

I would not entertain the idea otherwise than what I know about Arteta's methods, and that I would personally play AMN every time (especially after the MotM, until he makes bad mistake etc.) over Elneny, especially as Elneny's contract ends in the summer. (I have always criticized AMN for his lack of focus in midfield role, so there's that too.)I mean, your guess contradicts everything the manager has said and done, but glad we can agree to disagree!
