I have a very real question for all fans regarding Sead Kolasinic.

We all want to see Arteta clear out several defenders plus some midfielders in order to (a) Remove deadwood (b) free up wages and squad space (c) raise funds where possible to but the midfielders we need.

But regarding Saed, who by the way is not good enough for our first team, moreover when we play 4 at the back, if we do get rid of him does that mean that AMN of Saka are then the back up Left Backs?

If we do sell both Kolasinic and Hector - AMN becomes the right back where he is covered by Cedric but who is the cover for left back?
Is it Saka? Is Saka happy to be a left back? Is that where Arteta sees him?

Just a question but one that needs to be considered.

Still Kolasinac no matter what. The guy is clueless. Have you seen when we played Everton last year in the league at home? If you want to see shocking defending see how Everton scored their first goal. I think he’s worse than Andre Santos.

the problem with Kolasinac is that he is a LWB, he doesn't do well in a flat back 4 because he isn't solid enough defensively and needs extra cover from a LCB. He can get away with being not that sound defensively however because he can easily body people off the ball. We should try to sell him for 12-15m, but the issue is he's on very high wages (100k p/ w I think) which will make him harder to move on unless we either take a lower fee or he's willing to take a pay cut.

In a pinch, I'm sure one of our left-footed CBs could fill as well.

He definitely makes my list of players who should be cut, ironically especially if we stick to the 3 CB, s as I definitely would prefer Saka as first choice back up. However, if memory serves we got him on a free, hence why his salary is high. Therefore I think it highly unlikely we will find anyone willing to pay both a transfer fee and maintain his current wages. I suspect a loan or keep until his contract expires will be the most likely outcomes, but either way I wouldn’t expect any transfer fee to be received.
