Maitland-Niles to leave?

Klaus

We'd do well to sack every executive who was involved in transfer listing him earlier this summer if there are still any of them left. Can't have people like that messing up the club for us.

Called up to the england squad just now. Rewarded for his hard work this year

Also an endorsement of Arteta's management and coaching = congrats to both.

We can't be selling a home grown academy player who has cost us nothing and is possibly good enough to be our starting full back / wing back unless there is another academy player in the pipeline for this position. Funds from his sale may help us strengthen for sure but we will need to spend on a full back anyhow if Bellerin doesn't find his true level. We have a number of assets who we know will never make it here.

Same argument can apply for Martinez v Leno re starting GK.

It feels like this is going to be another Iwobi situation if we sell him. Guy has enough talent to be in our starting XI

Arteta letting him know he hasn’t arrived. Every player needs a different approach. I think he’s noticed that AMN has ridiculous potential but he needs to be whipped. Perhaps how we lost somebody like Bendtner in the past.

Also how nuts is it that we have only one senior England player ( and 3 juniors). That squad isn’t exactly Germany.

Hopefully the england call up really hammers the point home that there's rewards for focusing and working hard. That was always the question mark over him. Haven't seen him have those swtiched off brain farts for a long time

He's always been a good player but the hype is getting out of control. A good offer should result in a sale, but otherwise he's a great utility man to have around.

His trouble has always been the gaping void between his ears. If Arteta has filled it properly he'll continue to be a solid option for us.

He is the new Lauren. I can't believe we're letting him go

HomeSteak

I really don't want him to be sold, but won't make a huge thing out of it if he is. I trust Arteta knows what is the right call here. I see him as a starter over Bellerin, but that's me.

Hype my ass. He has shown real performances and by all accounts matured off the pitch.

Claudius

We also need to be cautious of the stories of his attitude. Someone somewhere reported his bad attitude and in the absence of more information that just stuck to him. And we used every facial expression and his back story to confirm this poor attitude.

The best evidence is what you see on the field. The guy has been amongst our top 5 players in each of our last 3 Wembley visits.

goon

Arteta himself has said his attitude was a problem and just yesterday said it’s now much better.

lorddulaarsenal

At the very least yesterday’s performance and call up added 10 mill to his price tag

He’s the new Gilles Grimandi

Anzac

His Baku nightmare seems a long time ago, in that he no longer resembles that player.

IBL

Rumours on skysports.com that wolves have dropped their interest in AMN.

Wonder if that explains the recent rumours in relation to Bellerin.

Claudius

In the long-term it would be a better plan. Cedric still stinks because AMN-Bellerin would be thee better two-some, but if we have to sell one, I think getting a shitload of money for Bellers from Barca or PSG would be a better plan. We can then put then money towards Awwrrrrr!

I was wondering about that too. And Kolasinac, who all of a sudden is rumoured to be going to Roma. What are the odds we'll start the season with Tierney on the left, AMN on the right, and then have Cedric and Saka as backups?

QuincyAbeyie

That'd be the best case scenario, considering that Cedric is unsellable and we could probably get a decent price for Bellerin.

We will not go into the season with Saka as our back-up left-back. No chance.

He wasn't given #7 to play fullback.
