Maitland-Niles looks set to join Wolves + Gabriel stalked on motorway by rabid Arsenal fans

by .

Arsenal has continued to rework their backroom team at a rapid-fire pace. Wherever we’re heading, Edu and Arteta are moving there FAST.

The club moved on Freddie Ljungberg and there are rumours that they might be back-filling his role with Dennis Bergkamp (Mark Irwin). I am an absolute sucker for the Dutchman. I penned a 2000 word essay on him (and Thierry) for Mundial once, what a total dream of a player/human. I have no idea what he’s like as a coach, but he’s certainly done some of it at Ajax. I also don’t know what he’d be coming in as. Still, what we do know is the man is trained in Total Football, he boasted some of the best technique the Premier League has ever witnessed, and he’s an absolute winner that can speak many languages.

Sal Bibbo is out the door, good luck to him. Arteta brought Inaki with him from Brentford. Hard to deny his impact on the keepers, Martinez and Leno have been in electric form during the backend of this season. Notable that Andreas Georgeson (seems to be spelt with an ‘e’) has already started his role as the set-piece coach. His role might be a little broader than that, but according to the data nerds, his coaching saved Brentford about 6 goals from setpieces last season. Not bad if they were theoretically in games that turned losses into points. If you want further details, James Benge has a nice write-up here.

Also, as a side note, Arsenal moved on the coordinator that had a fight at the Palace game and ran a motivational speech for the language challenged Unai Emery. Not important in the grand scheme of things, but it’s great to see Arsenal are digging out bad eggs and starting afresh. It’ll be interesting to see how many of the ‘WHY ARE YOU THERE?’ folk are still there come the end of the summer. High-performance culture means making sure every cog in the machine is elite. Great to see that we’re taking that seriously.

It was quite startling to see that we just moved on Pat Rice and Stuart Houston from scouting roles. I didn’t know they were still on the payroll. I appreciate their service, but their presence certainly spoke to the nostalgia addiction we’ve had at Arsenal over the past decade.

A manager always wants to create the right energy in a high-intensity environment like a football club, bringing in fresh ideas and new faces is as exciting for the fans as it is for the players. If the manager sets out and says he wants to make you better, seeing him deliver on that by bringing in the right coaches is great validation.

… but, you know, bringing in actual players is probably THE most exciting thing you can do. Arsenal fans are taking things to the next level today. They tracked Gabriel’s flight into Luton today and even managed to find his car using cameras on the M25. Unbelievable dedication to the exclusive. Hopefully, the club can announce his arrival with Auba signing his new deal.

PSG were beaten last night. What that will hopefully mean is this: The French press point out that what is lacking is French players and staff that truly ‘get’ PSG. Out goes Tuchel, in comes Poch. Out go a lot of international players on big money. In comes a player like MATTEO GUENDOUZI THE FUTURE OF FRENCH FOOTBALL. The price? Big. Make it English premium big. L’Équipe say they are interested and that is probably the best news Edu has had all summer.

SkySports are reporting that Wolves are interested in bringing AMN to the West Midlands. I’m a bit off about this move. I really like the player and he added a lot of value to us when he was given a specific role. If he’s off, I hope we have a good plan to replace him. The money on offer is reportedly about £20m. Feels quite low considering he’s probably out most effective right back. Still, we have to trust the process and accept that some deals that go through might not sit well with us. Hey, we might even be angling for a deal coming the other way? Who knows…

There’s also some worrying news that Sam Greenwood is interesting Leeds United. It’d be a pretty miserable summer if we lost him and Balogun. It’s very problematic that we keep losing young talent, but hey, at least we’re creating it these days. Fingers crossed something can be done there.

Right, one week until the Community Shield. Let’s see what Arsenal can make happen!

See you in the comments. x

“””””Any ambitious player would want to seek pastures new.”””””

Well Wolves finished ahead of Arsenal last season despite playing 1000 games in The Loosers Cup.

the last time AMN was at Wolves- he had Traore in his pocket.
Not only have Wolves got a great talent- they have got him a a brilliant price.

Whoever agreed to sell him for £20 million needs sacking tonight.
We shelled out £24 million last season for D. Luiz..

The Dopes on Fire today.

Ricky

AMN should not be sold. If anything, he should be loaned out. If he insists in going, he should seek a move abroad to Germany, Italy or Spain, and under a coach who can progress his development.

Karsa

Maybe.

No-one actually knows what price is being asked however. This 20 million is merely a guess.

Zacharse

Amn was due for a new contract after this season after what he showed. Perhaps thats part of it. No one Has found and nowhere can u find out what his contract at wolves will look like. No way he was on more than 20/wk w us
Def wish he was staying

Captain Tierney

Un Assuming we cant generate enough funds to shore up our midfield, Arteta believes Emi Martinez is good enough for the no. 1 spot and we get a good offer for Leno with a replacement No.2 lined on the cheap then I’ll be happy with Leno’s sale ( even though I like him a lot . And he’s done tonnes more for the club than Amn has ) Re-Amn. He is 23 now and doesn’t have a well defined position. He’s got talent and his versatility makes him a good player to have in a 25 man well settled squad… Read more »

Guys , Partey isn’t all that.
How many clubs are chasing his signature?

DivineSherlock

Suddenly AMN is the best RB we have , having only played less than Chambers there. Remember Arteta made even Chambers look good before he got injured. You lot also forget that he refused to play RB and wanted to play in midfield , which is why he got binned by Arteta. He forced our hand to buy Soares.

Rich

Schalke working hard to sign Kolasinac 💉

DigitalBob

Un – It does feel like it should have happened by now but maybe we are waiting for the majority of the Partey fee to come from the sale of Guendouzi and a few others.

Also given the requirement for new signings to go into quarantine if not arriving from the travel corridor it makes sense to really push ahead with these transfers now so the new guys are ready for our challenging early fixtures.

I would take Suarez on a free and sell Lacazette in a heartbeat. Laca isn’t faster than Suarez who can hold the ball up better, will win some PKs and is definitely much more clinical.

Would be a perfect complement to Auba

Marc called the Kola situation correctly
His wife doesn’t like living in England and he wants out. The problem is that we pay him too much and Shalke can’t afford to continue those wages.

Is it just me or this site is acting weird ?

RSPC Suarez will not have had his contract cancelled by Barca without his agreement. He will have been told he isn’t wanted or won’t feature in the first team plans and the numbers will be agreed. If a club like say Barca just cancelled his contract then that, in FIFA terms, would almost certainly would be viewed as being without just cause.

It’s great news, providing we don’t replace one subpar player with another subpar player.

The 4 year contracts for Soares and Mari, along with the Luiz extension has put me on edge.

Talk of Kolasinac 1 year loan, with an obligation to buy next summer, but we pay a percentage of his wages this season.

Rich

Dissenter surely your not suggesting Barca allow Messi to dictate who they buy and sell?

Ridiculous….

Valentin

CC, The usual strategy on squad building is based on the theory of replacement cost. You replace the players who give you the most benefit without negatively impacting your team. Taking into account that AMN versatility means that in order to properly replace him, we need either 2 players to cover (RB, LB, RWB, LWB) position, a player with similar ability for a cheaper price or a much better player. If the overall cost is higher, then there is no benefit in selling him. You may not like it, but games have shown that there is a big drop of… Read more »

Rich
“Dissenter surely your not suggesting Barca allow Messi to dictate who they buy and sell?”

Messi has had a lot of power at Barca, not suggesting he dictates their transfer policy but it was well known that Suarez was off-limits because he’s Messi’s best friend.

The fact that they are moving him on means the Messi power axis is being broken.
Messi supposedly had a clause that let him leave for free or very little money, we’ll soon see if that’s true.

azed

Valentin

AMN asked to leave (at least that’s what was reported).
We’ve basically replaced AMN in the squad with Gabriel who would most probably end up being a starter by the end of the season.

” I do believe that in 2 years time AMN will go to a top club such as Liverpool, ManCity or ManUtd. In 2 years time, we will have to fork a lot more to get a player of similar aptitude.”

All I can say at this point is lol.

“You may not like it, but games have shown that there is a big drop of quality and physicality between Soares and AMN.“ Do spare me this pseudo-concrete analysis you’re desperately pushing forward. We’ve seen exactly 250 minutes of him in an Arsenal shirt, nvm mind the fact he’s joined a new team, or made his debut some 6 months after last kicking a ball following injury and unusual circumstance. You want to use that elite sample verbatim. “Taking into account that AMN versatility means that in order to properly replace him, we need either 2 players to cover (RB,… Read more »

Pedro, as average and inconsistent AMN can be he a better option than Soars, Bellend, and ofcourse Kolasniac..
Unless he refused to play the full back position, I think we would regret selling him now ,even if we manage to get a decent fee for him
We don’t have a decent option for a full back apart from Teirney who could get a lengthy injury yet again!

For every Gnarbry theres a Chambers, Joel Campbell, Carl Jenkinson, Xhakalson

AMN falls in the latter group, take the money and run

Im telling you for free!

If we are selling him we should get 30m and replace him sell Kola as well

He will love Paris and do well on the fashion show catwalks.

WTF is going on! suddenly all our players are desirable? Kolasinac and Bellerin now. O hope teams aren’t looking for cheap deals to fleece us. I don’t think bellerin will go. But I think kolasinac might because arteta would be happy to let him go.

Jeff Adelaide is okay but he is not anything that would push Arsenal to the next level.

Words on a Blog

1) AMN is better than Soares
2) AMN is faster and more athletic than Bellerin
3) AMN is more positionally versatile than Bellerin or Soares
4) We need cash and AMN is a valuable asset
5) We need to upgrade our central midfield and need cash. RB/LB is not a problem position.
6) Sell AMN for £20-25m and raise the cash to do what we need to do.

Karsa

Sell AMN.
Sell Bellerin.
Buy Aarons.

Sorted. Loads of cash to boot.

London gunner

Nketiah is diamond?

He has nothing about his game. A tap in merchant at best with no unique skills

Samir

Getting rid of AMN for 20M and Bellerin for 30M.
50M combined. Would be great business!

Words on a Blog

The point is, if we are gonna upgrade our squad, then we will sometimes have to sacrifice very, very good players.

If: a) other clubs want them, b) they want to go, and c) their departure does not leave Arsenal short in a particular position, then it makes perfect sense to sell.

London gunner

What’s so good about AMN can someone spell it out?

Not trying to argue im genuinely interested about why he is so highly rated on here.

Words on a Blog

At the moment, the only 3 players I wouldn’t sell are:

Auba, Saka, and Tierney.

Upgrades are available for everyone else. And we have two excellent goalkeepers, so if one has to go to raise cash for upgrades elsewhere, then fine.

Habesha Gooner

London Gunner He is home grown. He has had a few good games, He has athletic abilities. And people like him. So they don’t see his flaws. They think he can become very consistent. There are a few players on our books that we can’t afford to lose for the right price. In my eyes these are the players I would refrain from selling this summer. Mari, Willian, Gabriel and Soares aren’t included because they signed now. I wouldn’t sell, Martinez, Leno, Saliba, Tierney, Bellerin ( next summer entirely possible though), Aubameyang, Saka, Pepe, Martinelli, Willock, ESR, Nelson, and Nketiah.… Read more »

‘What’s so good about AMN can someone spell it out?’ If we diaregard temporary lapses in comcentration and lack of commitment at times, AMN is a good footballer. 1. Technical ability – He looks comfortable with the ball at his feet and keep the ball in tight situations. He is an okay dribbler. 2. Pace and athleticism : He has got good recovery speed which helps him get back in to defensive positions from positions high up in the opposition box. 3. Versatility : He can be your typical utility player who can play in 3 positions. 4. Not saying… Read more »

Havertz is a great player but I don’t think the premier league suits him. He is a bit of an introvert and sometimes hasn’t got the best body language. The premier league massacres players like that. Werner and Ziyech are different though. They are made for this league.

Don’t rate lampard though althought he russian is backing him big time

Freddie Ljungberg

Getting rid of AMN, Kola and Bellerin this window would be great. that’s 250k off the wage bill and only Bellerin needs to be replaced with a starter. Depending on who else we get in attacking positions Saka can be back up LB. AMN is already replaced. Get someone like Max Aarons in and we have a top quality young backline that can become world class with the right coaching. And we’ll have an extra 20-25m to spend and a lower wage bill to boot.

Max Aaron’s would be excellent for sure I like his back story too. Became a pro in a very unconventional manner

TeeCee

It was o my just after the cup final that several papers (I think) carried the story that AMN wanted out. I do t think Arteta wants rid I just think he can’t give him many assurances about playing time. Plus AMN was moaning about not being able to play midfield not so long ago so I think the move will suit him.

Globalgunner

Cedric Soares won a Ero with portugal keeping out the barca LB for that position. Meanwhile AMN cannot even hold down any position for a middling Arsenal team.

These AMN fans are the same zealots who thought Wilshere, Ramsey and Walcott would be world beaters.

Bye bye Ainsley. Only thing for sure is that The Wolves manager will kick that lackadaisical nonchalance out of him sharpish

David Smith

Harsh on the coordinator who has been let go. I know nothing about his role while at the club, but regarding the motivational speech, I am sure I read Emery had said the non playing/coaching staff doing the pre game motivation was the work of useless sports psychologist David Priestley, whereas at the time, some blamed Emery or the coordinator himself for muscling in
Wonder if Priestley is still there ?

Paulinho

TR7 – I’m delighted with the transfer. AMN can be useful in a pinch with his versatility and agility, but over a longer period of time his lack of quality in terms of passing becomes apparent, as well as his inability to sustain the required intensity mentally. Maybe he will step up a level at Wolves, and he won’t find a better coach than Nuno to help him progress.

Dissenter

AMN is a relatively well accomplished player who’s played at a high level for Arsenal
He’s played European cup games including a losing Europa cup final
He’s also played in a FA cup final.
Wolves are getting a good bang for their money, all the best to him.
Our academy is recovering from the Wenger years, at least we are selling one academy player a year now for good money.

If only the likes of Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Ox etc had had someone at the helm who could coach properly.

If true, pity about AMN though.

There is a player there, as Arteta has shown us.

London gunner

I’m not even AMN fan and quite often don’t get the fuss.

But he was far better than bellerin last season when he was played at right back.

Not quite sure what to make of the transfer. Personally I think 20 million isn’t enough for an English arsenal player even during xovid.

London gunner

What position will play AMN?

Central mid?

Buzzy

AMN is out to fund Partey..no doubt about that!

Paulinho

Don – Ramsey grows stronger late in games, and plays better the more games he manages to string together- entirely the opposite of AMN, so maybe re-think your logic there.

Gunnershabz

I guess selling amn and kola is to fund for other players like partay

Do you think torriera will stay then we can’t sell everyone

Amn £20
Goundouzi £25

That should be enough for partay

Kola
Chambers
Holding
Sokratis

That should fund at least 30 that would cover Gabriel signing And Pablo Mari

Now I think Arteta wants either ceballos or aouar maybe the wildcard Thiago I am sure we have to spend some money there

Dissenter

Why didn’t Wenger just run Arsenal like this in his last 10 years?
We are still making some mistakes but it’s not from a lack of effort. I’m critical of the Soares move but even I will admit that we have to keep trying out stuff till we get it right.
In Wenger’s second decade we went into an interminable chrysalis stage of development, scared of our own shadow.
More of this, please ; move Kola out, sell AMN, Sell PapSok,

Dissenter

I forgot Torriera ; SELL
Help him deal with the difficulty settling into English culture.
He’s not physically or emotionally attuned to the league. He lost me when he cried when Xhaka was being booed, he wasn’t even the one they were attacking.
Xhaka rode the abuse and gave the boo-boys [including out very own Marc] the middle finger – told them to eff off.

Suddenly there are a number of posters who want to keep Maitland-Niles. So let’s provide solid reasons why he should leave. Arsenal need to sell players this summer so that we can increase our transfer budget. AMN is one of a small number of players in our squad currently available with a realistic chance of a transfer fee rather than a swap or loan. We have currently too many defenders in our squad so some will need to be offloaded this summer. AMN has been selected primarily as a RB or LB where he has been considered neither automatic starter… Read more »

The great AMN debate.. huh.?. Well For me he is another project.. He can be very good in a specialized role where he is assigned a defensive shutdown duty from the midfield or as a wingback. I’m not sure how much we will play 3-4-3 next season. As a RB, I am far from convinced, he has had some horror shows from there.. I think Arteta has enough projects to keep him busy, Saka, Willock, Martinelli, Nelson, maybe Saliba. . So if we can get 20-25 mill for him,to buy players who don’t need constant oversight and encouragement and demand… Read more »

mb

AMN situation is sad, but then we are signing Gabriel, Saliba is coming in, tierney is a great prospect, Auba will re-sign, Saka contract extended. For the first time in years, I am feeling positive about the transfer window.

It will be better of we get couple of mids from the AMN + Laca(?)/Torreira/Guen funds!

Johnno

We need to upgrade parts of the match day squad. We have no money. Which means we must sell. Selling fringe players to other English clubs is the easiest route to get some cash. European clubs have less cash and only want “names “. Holding and CHambers next in the block. If we can’t offload torreira of laca or guendouzi then the likes of Nelson might be vulnerable.

The state we are in requires hard work and tough choices. AMN has never cracked first 11. He must be expendable. Let’s move on

Moray

Happy to see AMN go. The move will bring in much needed funds and also be good for him. There’s a good Player in there Who needs to make a position his own, develop some consistency and show he can work hard over time. While he wouldn’t be my first out, by a Long chalk, we still need a couple of new players to have the team ready to compete for top four next season and we only have a week to go. Doubts remain though over Bellerin and Soares on that side – I hope one of them can… Read more »

Overmars

If we’re going to sell Maitland-Niles, I think we should be getting at least 30 million pounds.

Serge Aurier went to Spurs for 20 mil.

Chilwell to Chelsea looks to be done at 50 mil. Is AMN 30 million pounds in value behind Chilwell? I don’t think so.

A young, English, versatile full back who can play either side with 3 years left on his contract. Arsenal should be demanding more than the 20 mil reported.

Useroz

Arsenal should price like the level we pay. No way AMN should be off for £20m even with add ons rising to 25m.

Should be closer to 30m for reasons people already listed here. Insert a sell on clause too.
