Maitland-Niles to leave?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'm not seeing how £30m in this day and age is crazy money for a young, athletic, versatile and English Premier League footballer.

Actually it's crazy in the opposite sense.

We need to drum up interest based on those two high profile games. The rubbish players being lauded as player of the year shows that the bar is low for English players. We should push hard to extract a big fee. We have a rubbish branding job unfortunately. Arsenal comes across as a joke club. There’s more noise about the guys like CHO and RLC at Chelsea but most Chelsea fans I know want shot of CHO. Yet these are big names with big fees around them. I hope Arteta and Edu can restore the sparkle because it is costing us on player sales.

If he played for Liverpool, they'd be attracting £30/40m bids but because he plays for us we'd be lucky to sell for £20m.

Claudius

Apparently Spurs are interested in AMN

Panda

They can have him for 70 million. I would be sad to see him go.

Claudius

Several players I would sell ahead of him, but maybe he helps us get an Aouar. That’s a trade worth making. Especially if we are confident that Bellerin is getting back to his peak and Cédric can deputize ably.

Klaus

Really hope he tells Edu to fuck off and stays put.

QuincyAbeyie

Arteta doesn't seem like the type of manager who'll accept being fucked over like this. If Arteta wants him to stay I think he will - and I do think he wants him to stay.

Qwiss

AMN seems to be pushing this more than anyone, if he wants out I don't think Arteta will lose much sleep over it.

We did reasonably well with the sales of Iwobi and Ox so I'd expect similar if we sell AMN.

I think he was pushing for a move, but that was before when even Sokratis got a start ahead of him. Why would he leave when he just started an FA Cup final?

QuincyAbeyie

Yeah, AMN's situation changed very quickly so I guess it depends on how safe he feels regarding playing time going forward.

Coombs

Or how much of an idiot he is. Think he's been playing for his move, honestly.

Clrnc

I doubt Arteta wants him to leave after starting him in 2 of our most important matches.

I might be reading too much be in terms of body language you can see people like Luiz, Arteta and a few others always talking to AMN in length convos after we won

Coombs

Probably to explain to him what's just happened.

😆 Don't think Coombs is his biggest fan.

Current story is that Arteta wants him to stay and the club wants to sell.

I don't like these sorts of situations, feel like the player's loyalty is already burned, head is turned and we should cash in.

speedy

We have to pretent to be uneager to sell if we want a good fee. Id happily keep him as a FB reckon Jose will promise him a midfield role then just stick him at full back.

Qwiss

If he'd agree to go to Spurs we should put no effort into keeping him.

Ray

In a market where Ake went for £40m, AMN is certainly worth a minimum £35m and we should demand £50m to inflate the price.
