Atletico hot in pursuit of AMN now that Trippier has been banned for insider trading on transfer related sport bets.

Simeone will either murder AMN, or turn him into an unbelievable RB

Klaus

I well and truly hope we sack Arteta and Edu before they go and do something stupid like selling Maitland-Niles.

I’m betting on the latter. AMN is a specimen. I can imagine him just grinding for Simeone. That’s a manager we should get. He’d bury the stiffs like Xhaka where we can’t find them

IF the club want to try to maximise their return on the current squad they should sack Arteta and replace him with Tuchel, with the view to playing 4231 to get the maximum from the current squad over the last half of the season.

This would primarily include re-instating the likes of Ozil as CAM and retaining PEA as CF.
Next summer we would still need to go hard in the market to replace half the match day squad.

Claudius

why reinstall Ozil? he has 5 months left. we need forward looking solutions now. what a mess up this has been. I wonder what the European player WhatsApp groups say about the Ozil and Saliba situations

Call me crazy, but AMN is exactly the sort of player we should be cashing in on if we can get a good fee.

IF Arteta remains I'd not want Ozil reinstated, but under a new manager for the remainder of the season it's a get out of jail free card in terms of addressing the creativity issues & buys time to keep the critics at bay. IF it works then we can have a potential knock-on effect to increase player values for sale in the summer, including the likes of Laca and possibly PEA if we still finish outside UEFA qualification. Regardless of this I do not want Ozil at the club any longer than possible.

I'd wait another season until we have the squad better balanced / fit for purpose, and HG values should increase once post-COVID finances return closer to normal, let alone post-BREXIT.

Don’t know why you’d say that is crazy. It’s a very reasonable opinion

Agreed.

For me, either he very quickly becomes a serious footballer, and consequently takes Bellerin's spot at right back, or we sell him this summer.

Sure but the offer has to be right, not €15m and I'd sooner sell one of the other 2 right backs I think.

Pretty much. None of the 3 right backs are in the list of 6-7 untouchables in the squad. You can’t pretty much keep any 2, or keep 1 and take the chance to get a super quality right back.

Qwiss

I'd be happy with Hector or Ainsley in the first XI as long as we can get some of the larger issues sorted.

you're not crazy. he should have been sold for the 20m wolves bid. but as arteta proved this summer when push comes to shove and they say "hey we have an offer for ..." he responds, "no let's keep him." and then the season starts and you don't see why he kept that player.

Bryant

De Paul switches his agent to Mino Raiola. Juve and Inter are in for him.

Shame, he would've been a good player for us to have to link the midfield and attack.

Claudius

would be fantastic. such a talent.

I wouldn't sell for that amount either, but folks on here were up in arms in the summer when it looked like we were asking Wolves for 'only' £25m.

I like Ainsley, he's a likeable kid from Hale End and he has a few strong qualities. But he's nothing special and as someone who's about to turn 24 it seems unlikely that he's about to explode.

Claudius

I blame that more on Arsenal than AMN. We need to play these kids. It’s why I would rather see Nketiah than Lacazette and Saliba than Mustafi. I want to know what we have. Maybe they’re really good. Maybe they’re shit. But we will never know if they don’t play. It’s seven years since AMN debuted for us. In that time he hasn’t had a good bloc of consistent game time at Arsenal or elsewhere. It’s bad personnel development. We don’t grow talents properly and it must be frustrating for the guys
