My worry is that since Hector broke through in 2014 the club have sort of got complacent and neglected the RB position, the last time the club really invested in a proper RB was Sagna in 2007, since then it's just been back-ups and the assumption that Bellerin would always be long-term first choice.
I'd put Bellerin in the same category as Walcott, got some great qualities, great guy, fantastic representative for Arsenal Football Club, but missing key attributes. I just don't see him developing, his ACL was 2 years ago, you'd think he'd be making strides forward by now. He's just missing too many attributes you'd want from a Champions League RB.
Problem is I can't see the club actively wanting to move him on. He's vice captain, probably good friends with Arteta, unless someone randomly came and offered 30m my guess would be he'll stay.
I look around see players like Mazraoui, highly technical, could play the Cancelo hybrid fullback/midfield role very well, and that seems more like what Arteta wants, and what Bellerin is struggling to do. But my guess is we'll prioritise other areas.

I'd honestly give Cedric a chance at RB once Tierney is fit. I just don't see what Bellerin is good at for a fullback? Defensively? Meh. Offensively? Meh. Atleast Cedric has a quality pass on him and can beat the first man with a cross.

He’s a decent fullback, but considering the way we play probably worth upgrading. Was watching Ricardo for Leicester and yeah that’s an extreme example but Bellerin is miles off.
Even Cedric is offering more in the final third.

I don’t think Bellerin was poor yesterday but he looks a little short on confidence. Got a few lucky ricochets yesterday which could’ve easily been problematic for us had they not fell kindly to him
He started the season really well and he’s had a little dip. He’ll be back though- quality full back is Hector.

You're wrong, no?
Not sure what's more important than replacing our worst starting player. I was once a fan of Bellerin, especially at the beginning when he was an explosive FB which I really liked. The player he is today has nothing in common with the player he was 6 years ago.
There is no other area in our team where we have a player of League 1 quality, a semi-professional player that has no interest in football other than taking money from it
He’s better than Bellerin for what he’s good at but I don’t know if he would be useful for us considering the situations our RB seems to always be in; surrounded by a few players.

3 games of Cedric at RB and this discussion dies anyway
say yes
forum master baiter
Still disappointed that nobody has just come out and called the refs a pack of cheating ****s yet, but this is enjoyably saucy from Hector.
**** Wolves.

Yet another banned account of Jury
Was a good choice of pic but his words let him down. Whereas Xhaka took down his original potentially aggy image and said words that alluded to us being fvcked over. Would have preferred if both went full 'YOU C*NTS' and left it at that.

And they'd have nothing to lose. Worst thing would be like a 3 match ban. Best thing would be that it'd spike a debate and people would finally start talking about the fraud that is going on. this isn't normal. 13 red cards vs 3 to the next in line like wtf??

the FA will have him in to explain that tweet as well... just wait 
Don’t worry Kanye got this.
Hurry up Kanye! My head keeps spinnin’, can’t stop having these visions, I gotta get with it..
He pissed me off today the amount of time he go to opposition box and make wrong decisions. Actually handled Neto very well before red card.

Terrible going forward
He’s been doing pissing me off recently performance wise but you gotta love this, gives the fans some voice and at least shows to us they are angry about the officiating too.

Don't care about his show, he knows exactly that it will end up on Twitter and that's the only thing that he offers these days. I'd rather have a quiet guy who does his job on the pitch, not this fraud

Considering 90% of Arteta ball consists of getting to it the fullbacks pointless crosses.. at least start a RB who can cross the ball
