✍️ OFFICIAL Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Out)

[Gooner416]

Btw my source who works for Arsenal's lawyers has got a new job ffs. So knowing that Mari was a permanent transfer is the only 'ITK' thing I contributed.

What a short, pitiful ITK career I had. kmt.

Mate that's okay... Dean only had the scoop when Frimpong was denching his sister but has made a career out of it.

I am moaning because our options now at RB are Hector Bellerin and Cedric Soares. That is bum territory.

If we sign a RB this window though, it’s good business.

Hardly good business having 3 RBs though.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Your backup Rb is going to play what 10% of your games?

Do you have a 20M asset play 10% of your games or do you fill that minor need with a cheap experienced player who most important of all, is happy to be a back-up?

AMN wants to leave and play, why are you moaning at the club?

This is the bottom line, we have 3 right backs and are selling one for 20mil plus profit.

It just leaves a bitter taste as imo Ainsley is a better footballer than Bellerin, which has gone against hin here as no one would touch Bellerin in this market.

 

[Red London]

Yeah I'm not totally against this when you weigh up the different factors like having enough RBs, and Arteta probably wanting to go back to a 4atb.

My issue with the transfer is the business side of things. £20m is a bargain. Should be 25-30 all day long if its Wolves interested. No doubt about it.

 

[Trilly]

Think Bellerin will play better than most of you expect tbh. The road back to 100% from an ACL injury doesn't end when the player is cleared fit to play.

 

[Token Yank]

Game's the same, just got more fierce.

Hardly good business having 3 RBs though.

Soares is a lost cause and can’t be sold, thanks to Don Raul but I’d look to sell Bellerin and keep AMN around. Surely Bellerin can fetch 20m as well, not to mention save on wages.

Bellerin been steadily getting quicker and sharper with every passing game. As many experts have said footballers get rushed back from ACLs far too quickly and they play games even though they aren't 100%.

Its why I kind of feel bad for Holding. I know he's nothing special but hes certainly not dog **** like some people claim here. He is in the same boat as Bellerin, gotta give him the benefit of doubt for another 6months.

Let's hope so. I like Bellerin and at least I expect him to be better than he was last season. I just wish he had better competition for his role - I know people have accepted Cedric as purely a back-up but I just don't like it, I wish we had a better player to challenge Bellerin for the spot.

 

[SK Lation]

On paper Soares is a solid signing. Pretty much like Debuchy was a solid signing on paper until his leg was broken.

Weve picked up a vastly experienced PL , international defender in his prime for relative buttons. There are worse things to be annoyed at.

Debuchy was one of the best RBs of the PL at the time we brought him in. To compare him to our portuguese bum is insane.

 

[KrissKringle]

Bellerin hasn't even had a full season under arteta but people want to play AMN ahead of him in a 4 at right back

Bellerin has been a bum for the past 3 seasons, so you're trippin' balls my guy.

It's not bum territory, it's just average, a small fire to put out.

Meanwhile our midfield is an Australian forest fire. Have to prioritise unfortunately.

His biggest limitation is how poor he is on the ball, and that's not going to change if he is fit or not. For this season though I'm hoping he can regain some pace and is just relatively solid defensively.

I'm not your guy, your opinions make me want to wet myself and parade around my street shouting I'm from cuties and my dad's Gdeep.

Looks more of a heroin addict than footballer

The thing is with Bellerin, if you check his player thread most people accepted what you've just said and saw that he was getting better and better. The run in the FA cup final is probably the fastest I've seen him move since his injury.

With Holding I think he's crap because his issues aren't physical, to me he just looks like someone who will never be comfortable playing out from the back but yeah...probably worth giving him another half a season as well if we can't sell.

I never asked you what you're fetishes are, you weirdo.

Atleast he's not bald I guess...?
