I think the position AMN wants to and/or is willing to play is speculation. I wouldn't read too much into it.

It's more likely that he chose us because he is more likely to play or because Arsenal pushed him our way because we're not a rival. Southampton's right back - Kyle Walker-Peters - only has a very short term injury so AMN would not have been guaranteed to start there even if he was happy to play at right back.

If it is true and he does want to play in midfield, he's a better player than Livermore, Sawyers and Gallagher anyway. He can only improve us in any position, but I'd like to think he would replace Furlong.

Regarding next season's worries, I think they are very valid. Clearly we will be losing lots of players, not only loans but also those out of contract - Bartley, Ivanovic, Gibbs, Townsend, Robson-Kanu, Grosicki, Edwards and more. It will be a complete rebuild, Swansea style. Probably a case of selling a few (Johnstone and Pereira most probably) and using some of that cash to rebuild. There's potential for us to go into freefall if it's done badly. The only saving grace is that players like Ajayi, O'Shea, Grady, Grant are good at that level. The jury is out on some of the other youngsters - Field, Harper and Kipre - but they are out on loan to prove themselves. And presumably while they are loaned out with a view to a permanent deal, nothing is agreed yet. So we will have the potential to keep them - should we want to - if we go down.

I think it's probably a good thing they are out on loan and getting football. Because we're not too sure how they are progressing atm. Particularly Field who has been injured for most of the last year.
