✍️ OFFICIAL Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Out)

[A_G]

The deal was never hovering around 15mil? That I went from 25 to 20mil is because a quick google search is what got me the 20mil while I can recall the deal being talked about being in the 25mil range in this thread last summer.

Looks like they wanted £25m:

So you're going to get incredibly angry if a transfer is under 25m when everything you've shown so far says 20m or less? What?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

I remember when certain members were screaming that 25M wasn't enough and wanted £40M

 

[A_G]

"Certain members"

Probs get 35-45M?

We sold iwobi for 35m and Ox for 40m. Amn is in the same mould.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I can't be arsed.

And people accuse me of changing my opinion.

Guy gives zero ****s, can only respect it.

At this point last year he'd just been called up to the International set up and was one of our best performing players at that time. I think people forget how good the guy was playing. To sell him for £25m then would have been crazy. Even more crazy was making the effort of convincing him his future was here only to stop playing him, completely driving his value down.

lol are you sure it’s not his brother posting. His brother needs some respect too.

The **** you on about? I said if we sell under 20 he deserves a slap and I still stand by it.

I’m still a massive AMN fan and it shows the quality he has when a lot of teams are keen to sign him up.

A better manager would have convinced him that his best shot at playing for England would have been at fullback. AMN and Chambers at RB is enough and there would be no need for Bellerin or Cedric.

Also, we’d be able to use those funds to get a top class CM alongside Partey and a CF.

20M for these fringe players is good money, we should of and should be selling guys like Willock and ANM for these prices.

Nah, Wenger tried, Freddie tried, Emery tried, Southgate tried, Mikel tried but AMN reckons he's a CM.

It's his only fault his career will go down the pan.

Same with OX imo, his best football came at wingback.

No doubt by this time next year we'll be struggling to get barely anything for Willock too. Reckon AMN will go for 12-15mil if he does go.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

I dont like him one bit. Just flog him off

Wow, good post.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Yes that wasn't me that was the bro. I never said he's worth over 15M.

Ox was quite the glorious WB wasnt he. Such an athlete

I think he's a great player myself and he's shown that whenever he's been given a run of games for us. He's not a flashy new signing though.

If we didn't plan on using him this season past then we should have cashed in on him. I think Arteta is very indecisive on players though. He's had so many players in and out of favour during his time here.

Some Burnley fans on Twitter think they’re signing him to play RM. He’d be a fool to move to Burnley tbh.

Dead city, boxes unticked and no tunes in the dressing room. Only good thing is Sean Dyche’s humour.

He should go to Southampton or Palace if they’re interested.
