Nope.
Harsh a.f.
I have to be consistent.
I think heās got it in him to be a long serving defensive back up and squad player.
I hope thereās still a chance for him.
He was so close to scoring as well today haha.
He actually fits into Emeryās setup well cause he has pace, energy and a decent delivery. Heās the exact kind of fullback that you want bombing forward.
And exactly the type of fullback you donāt want to be relying on to get backā¦
Big fan of his personally but heās never been good enough.
Lad has the heart and clearly loves Arsenal, but heās a championship player at best. Actually his best footballing season wasnāt actually with us but with his first loan spell at West Ham. Iād sell him off and get some profit on him, I know he has a special place with the fans but heās not going to make it here or with any PL club imo.
Oh no doubt, Im just thinking thatās why Emery has at least kept him in the squad.
I think itās more that he was here, had no offers to leave and we had a spot in the squad. Big injury list aside he was never getting near the first team I donāt think.
Iām sure he wasnāt, but do you think heād be a worse option than Lichtsteiner at this point if weāre in trouble? I genuinely donāt.
One game and people back on the letās give him a chance ish.
Heās not good enough, heās been riding the pine for that reason. When Wenger gives up on you, youāre done. Sure heās a nice lad but one game against some dead opposition doesnāt much.
After heās secured every penny from the contract Iāll wish him well in the Championship.
No, absolutely given current circumstances there could be cause to use him in a real match.
Yeah thereās probably no debating that in most cases
Given heās supposedly in the top 30% of EPL earners makes him extremely difficult to sell.
thats why weāre in such a state, given contracts to bang average talent.
Yasss! And wear ur dog walking shirt šš
Has he actually had many bad games for us? I seem to recall him being okay, going on loan and being okay, going on loan and being worse, and going on loan and being not great, but I canāt remember thinking he was a waste of space when actually playing for us.
Yeah agreed, I was actually thinking that tonight. He never kicked on for the clubs he was loaned too, but heās never had a standout bad game for us and there have been games like City and Bayern where he actually looked the business.
I mean he wasnāt the only culprit and it was one of his first games, but he was a defender during the 8-2 iām pretty sure.
