Good club for Dibling to go to…personally I’ve been underwhelmed most times I’ve seen him…but there he can alternate with Jack / Alcaraz etc

We need a quality RB. 
Have done for 4 years. 

Right back is like a weird sort of genetic malady we have had for 25 years now.

MON used to buy them and discard them (Habib Beye for example) and play left backs or midfielders there (i reckon 75% of his substitutions involved a midfielder moving to RB - remember Reo-Coker playing there? And usually done to facilitate Steve Sidwell coming on).
Unai seems to see right backs as vitally important to how we play, but then buys them and bins them all the time (Ned, maybe Garcia by the looks of it, maybe Fort coming in) whilst persisting very often with Cash, a mediocre one.

You're right - I was thinking about this earlier today. Guilbert and Ned seemed to completely fit the bill for what we wanted but both have been binned off. KKH could definitely have done a job but has been sold.

I actually think Emery is still seeking the elusive CB-come-RB player that arsenal have created with Not-so-White Ben.

Guilbert, KKH or Ned, none of them were good enough for where we are now.

You say that - and it's your opinion - but the RB position is still pretty ambiguous, it seems.

I really think selling KKH will come back to bite us….hes quality
