Without needing to regurgitate all the negative issues and incidents that have entwined themselves in AMN career so far, which culminated in his social media plea at the start of the season that at the time appeared to be signalling the end of his tenure at arsenal, I would go so far as to suggest a watershed moment for Arteta's managerial career regards the aspect of developing his man management skills and greater appreciation of dealing with personalities that may lack discipline, responsibility and professionalism.

In imagining that the subsequent 'cards on the table' meeting that followed was as simple, honest and mature as a young manager admitting to a young player that he's made errors of judgement and vice versa, the young Englishman now finds himself being cemented into the squad with good minutes of playing time and primed to replace Elneny as back-up central midfielder and probably also Cedric, Chambers and Bellerin as the go-to player for right back in the event of Tommy being unavailable.

With the now visible level of improvement to Saliba's all round game justifying the manager's concerns of him likely to be vulnerable to the rigors of Premier League football proving more than tangible and appearing to now be appreciated by the young Frenchman and growing his determination and enthusiasm to play a leading role within the squad from next season.

In recognition that Arteta has indeed made some man management mistakes during his tenure, that he has shown the character to both recognise and seek to rectify those errors now work to showcase Guendouzi as being a 6'2" dildo that happens to be good at playing football also.

The Athletic

Roma interested in signing Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles on loan

by James McNicholas and James Ornstein

Roma are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles on loan from Arsenal.

The versatile 24-year-old is believed to be on a list of players Roma are targeting for January but any deal is thought to be at an early stage.

The clubs are believed to be in contact to discuss a temporary move until the end of the season.

Maitland-Niles was close to signing for Everton on a temporary basis in the summer transfer window and Rafael Benitez's side are still keen on bringing the midfielder to Goodison Park.

However, it is understood that the preferred move of Maitland-Niles would be to join Roma.

Roma and Pinto seem keen to capitalise on the Premier League market, identifying players who have perhaps lost their way or are in need of regular game time to get their careers and international aspirations back on track.

A move to Roma appealed to Tammy Abraham in the summer and the same appears true of Maitland-Niles.

Maitland-Niles has recently returned to training after a spell out due to illness.

He would join fellow England internationals Abraham and Chris Smalling in the Italian capital, while former Arsenal team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also part of the Roma squad.

Roma, currently managed by Jose Mourinho, are sixth in the Serie A table — six points behind Atalanta in the last Champions League spot.

I can't imagine AMN is happy, we talked him into staying and he's played what 2-3 games this season.

I knew this would happen, he threw away the progress he made with his career at RB to chase a dream of being a CM.

The guy is like 5th in the pecking order, Partey, Xhaka, Elneny, Lokonga are all ahead of him at AFC.

I think he should def leave, his career is on the brink of collapsing.

Due to AFCON don't see him released in January. We'll be shorthanded in the middle.

That's not true at all.

Arteta has gone out of his way to help him, AMN has done all this on his own.

He's the one who insisted he only wants to play as CM even though 3 managers now have all made it clear he's not going to cut it at AFC.

........... do you want AMN as our starting CM?

Arteta got AMN an England call up at RB and AMN threw it down the drain.

Please tell me how El Neny is a better CM than Lokonga?

1 - WTF are you talking about

2 - If your on about my other post regarding pecking order that's not in any particular order, just stating they're all ahead of AMN.

3 - Elneny is a better CM defensively

4 - You're a doughnut, merry Xmas.

Cedric was great against Sunderland, not sure why he'd put AMN ahead of him?

He was set to leave and then they wouldn't let him. Then they wouldn't play him.
