I don't see AMN as the kind of footballer that will go to Italy to prove himselfThat bald headed fraud Gazidis is probably readying a loan with option to buy on us.
He knows how to speak the Arsenal lingo

Nah. The real problem actually happened way before that and that's trying to convert him to CM or more accurately if I'm not mistaken, DLP. In the academy and reserves, he was an average right winger at best. Trying to keep that profile of player to try and convert them into a CM or DLP is strange. Even stranger is the fact he got promoted to the first-team really early as well when he didn't even really prove anything.That said, I really don't want him to leave. I think he's very talented - more than a lot of people do - and I just think this could have all been avoided if they didn't try to make him a full back. I am the opposite to many - I don't think he would have made a good right back and I was always against the move.
I'd keep him. He can play anywhere. Utility players are vital for any squad. As long as he's fine with that role and understands he won't be in the first team every week.
Tbh I think Arteta could sell him just to prove a point to the rest of the squad and especially the young players. Arteta is still new to the job, every new coach needs to stamp authority and gain total respect. AMN could be one of those to be sacrificed i.e if you don't work hard enough for me we'll sell you.
What use is speed when the brain is slow in making decisions?We have such a slow squad, and here we go getting rid of one of our fastest players.
I would have loved to at least him at cm. It's been a long time since we've had someone with pace in the midfield
surely experience in that position would quicken that decision-making? There would need to be some time to adapt to the new position.What use is speed when the brain is slow in making decisions?
Even Wenger never played him there when everyone was fit.I do sometimes wonder why Willock and Guendouzi got the chances that AMN never did at cm, but guess we'll never find out.
Strange he never has the chance to build on that performance at Old Trafford all of those years ago.

All the four managers we've had in the past 3 years didn't rate him enough to play in midfield.surely experience in that position would quicken that decision-making? There would need to be some time to adapt to the new position.
Guess it doesn't matter anyway cos Mikel doesn't rate him
