Nothing against him, just we all know Wenger was more worried about full backs getting forward than being able to defend. Hopefully Tomiyasu will offer more protection to the defence and allow the right winger more freedom to attack.

Cole
Clichy
Lauren
Sagna
Monreal

Some of the best to have ever played in this league. Not saying he hasn't picked some bad ones (Santos was definitely a winger!), but even the likes of Eboue was defensively solid, and Kola is clearly more suited to the defensive side of the game.

Wouldn't agree with your point, personally.

Cole, clichy and lauren were all wing backs rather than defenders, better at attacking than defending. Sagna was top notch tbf. Monreal was 'decent' but nowhere near world class.

Eboue was not defensively solid btw. Kola came in as an attacking left back, no idea why Arteta plays him at CB.

Bellerin's contract expires in the summer, so it's a moot point. He's not in the Mavro/Saliba category, he's an Arsenal veteran who we've seen play under several managers.

Spanish right-back Hector Bellerin, 26, has hinted he has no intention of returning to Arsenal when his season-long loan at Real Betis ends. (El Desmarque, via Mail)

Don't blame him

No, he's not in that bracket. He is in the Mkhitaryan, Coquelin bracket. Lol.
And off course I don't want him back.

Even Mkhitaryan and Coquelin play better with their current team. Just saying.

He couldn’t hit a decent cross to save his life when he was with us
