Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Midfielder or in deNile?

Think he realized Arteta sold him a lie, but in the end it's his fault. If you want to be a midfielder but you're not good enough to get into this midfield you should move out asap

 

Hopefully we can still get 15-20m for him this summer...

Don't really see his value increasing at this rate, I've said it a million times but yeah, we should've sold him in the summer.

 

The similarity between niles and ox is that they are both shxt players

 

OK Unai

 

Emery actually rate him. I don't.

 

If he's not even gonna be in the PL squad should have just sold him

But now it's time to give him a go in cm till partey is back. Enough of xhaka n ceballos. I don't even mind terminating ceballos loan in Jan.

 

He is probably of this winter

 

Gets more game time for England than he does his club.

 

This situation os odd.

 

Someone sold him a lie and that’s his fault? What?

As you’ve seen with the Saliba situation, asking to leave and getting to leave don’t go hand in hand.

Not being good enough and not getting the opportunity to show if you’re good enough are also two different things.

Arteta doesn’t see the need for his profile of player in midfield, which is turning out great.

 

It's hilarious this dude can't make the bench but Ceballos and Xhaka start in their current form. Every team can pretty much carry the ball if they wanted to right through the middle till they met the center halves. He came alive against Molde when he was moved to the middle.

For a guy who played as a midfielder and played in the PL for most of his career, Arteta sure has weird priorities in midfield.

 

Exactly.

When you have midfielders arriving at the edge of the box at least threatening to shoot, they draw opposition defenders out, which makes space for attacking runs.

Arteta just wants his 2 CMs marking space, and his 3rd standing the opposition DM. Awful football.

 

I think he’ll do much better once he leaves the club.

He’s clearly more talented than some of the players in our first eleven but our manager who has fantastic man management thinks freezing him out will benefit his confidence and increase his value in time for January.

Özil, Guendouzi, Saliba, AMN...the list is going on.

 

Another weird case of Arteta's management

 

I’m interested to know where Wolves saw him playing. They have better midfielders than us so surely wasn’t going to move to continue being a wingback?

 

Don’t get why we didn’t sell when we had the chance if we’re not going to use him.

Good thing he’s playing for England or else is value would totally be tanked. This club still doesn’t know how to move players on or sort out good loans.

 

Absolutely no point having Bellerin/AMN/Cedric in the same squad. Its gross missmangment from the club/manager. One has to go in January, and unfortunately think AMN will be the only one that has any suitors.

 

Would happily play him in midfield till Partey is back. Can't get any worse.

 

Can't be any worse than xhaka.

 

Its on the manager. If coquelin can be used, why not AMN
