Any idea on price? I know loan has been mentioned but that would be a strange move from Arsenal's POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a loan but the last I’d heard they aren’t prepared to let him go unless there’s an obligation to buy and we want an option to buy instead. He was close to joining Wolves in the summer before Arsenal pulled the plug after the Community Shield performance and said he would get games. By all accounts he’s ready to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 (edited) If he had good potential, why would Arsenal in their position be willing to send him off on-loan - especiall, potentiallyto a club like up in the more upper reaches of the top-flight league?

moore_94 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Looking for comps of him on youtube and all I see in the comments is how lazy he apparently is As Maddison said in that interview after Chelsea, the big thing in a Rodgers side is that you don't play if you don't do the dirty work or the running Never know though, could be that he has just got fed up of being at Arsenal and just wants a fresh start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankey93 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 (edited) I wouldn’t mind AMN! He’s versatile and would do us nicely Edited 31 January 2021 by Sankey93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal see him as a wing back/full back, he doesn’t want to play there and wants to be seen as a midfielder - which is the position he played in youth football. He wants to leave Arsenal by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Solid player, would be mates with a few of our players here so wouldn’t struggle settling in. Arsenal won’t want to include a cheap buy option I’d have thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for repeating exactly what’s been reported in the media all morning, I’ll be sure to think of GingerrrFox and the information you brought us when Maitlajd-Niles signs and Brendan says Chalobah was the other option.

Speaking to my best mate who’s an Arsenal fan, says he’s very talented and very quick, but has the tendency to be lazy which want work under Rodgers Thinks the move would be good for the player as he thinks Arteta is a bit stubborn and won’t play him.

It sounds like he's had his enthusiasm and love for the game sucked out of him at Arsenal by being repeatedly asked to play as a fullback when his heart is in midfield. A club like Leicester taking a chance on him and playing him in his preferred role might light a bit of a fire under him and he'll be wanting to prove a point. I wasn't keen on this at first but it's amazing what a link to Nathaniel Chalobah will do to your opinion. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
