They took us literally when we asked for a replacement for Jenkinson.

Would definitely take him here. Only ever seen him in the big games for Belgium and PSG and he's always impressed going forward.

he'd be a good back up for bellers, but only if his wages aren't crazy. i'd take him on a cut price loan deal

PSG don’t have the financial flexibility for cut price loan deals. They don’t have TV revenue of England, but they need to pay those forwards. They need to sell, at an inflated price. Only thing I want from them is Rabiot. Maybe we shake Nkunku as well. Established players will be tricky.

Might as well buy Matt Doherty.

For a good price I'd take him, good competition for Bellerin and if we stick to five/three at the back, he'd be a great outlet down that side.

I thought he was supposed to be quite good? Anyway surely a left back is a bigger priority.

He seemed decent enough 1-2 years back, haven't really been following him lately.

Maitland-Niles is fine to cover for Bellerin, you won't get much better.

Provided Maitland-Niles has accepted his best chance of making it at Arsenal is at right back. If he still wants to be the next Patrick Vieira then he'll be of less use.

We can get several significantly better players than AMN in central midfield. Can we get several significantly better players at right back? The boy must be smart and pick a position that he can excel at. Or be comfortable being a dogsbody for the rest of his Arsenal career, shifting with team needs. 

"PSG want €30m for the former Club Brugge player "

That would be an incredible misuse of our limited funds.

I get the feeling agents are just going to claim we are after every want-away PSG player because Emery has a relationship with the players.

fortunately for us emery doesn't make those decisions. so refreshing to have a head coach.

AMN should be smart about it, but since Bellerin is only two years older than him he may think that it'll actually be harder to break through at Arsenal as a RB than as a CM. I think he showed a lot of potential as a CM a year ago, but he hasn't really gotten the chance there lately.

Don’t think he’s ready for the CM position personally. Especially with his tendency to lose focus and his lax passing under pressure (and even with little or no pressure). I think he probably gives us much more in the LB role, and depending on Bellerin’s form, it’s nice to have a decent option there. Compared to central midfield where we are trying to (or should be trying to) upgrade Xhaka, and if Ainsley isn’t nearly good enough to displace that limited piece of drudgery, he definitely won’t have much of a shot staking a claim versus Xhaka’s replacement.

FIFA legend. cant ever remember actually watching him play

Rumours that talks have progressed. I know he’s not a popular choice but I like him. 6 foot 3 powerful runner with decent composure on the ball. We need those qualities
