However, there is presumably a reason he could establish himself in a very average Arsenal side. 100% a better signing than Chalobah looks on paper. Slight Oxlade-Chamberlain vibes about him. Without looking at his highlights reel, he hasn’t ever really broke into the Arsenal team and we are the better team. I’m not against this by the way, he will be a good squad, versatile squad player- just pointing out that highlights reels can be misleading.

RobHawk Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Another consideration, he seems to be a good egg in the dressing room, we don't want someone coming in and causing damage to the squad moral. As a club we always talk about getting the right personality in as well quality on the pitch. He's clearly not our first choice but I'd say he offers more than Hamza and he's certainly not as bad as some on hear make out. 1

That’s more or less what I said there, has to be a reason he didn’t break into that Arsenal side. Arsenal supporting mates suggest Arteta shows favouritism towards Bellerin despite performances, but AMN doesn’t want to be a RB anyway.

They run the club well they wouldn’t see dry because of a new training facilities. I’d say the striker issue is because we can’t get our target which annoys me because another one could get us top 4, personally I’d try loan someone in and I can’t see us being after Eduardo because I think we could get him now if we wanted him.
Popular Post Nod.E Posted 1 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 1 February 2021 Despair at this thread. Who'd have wanted Albrighton? Couldn't get into a poor Villa squad. Huth? Ageing and can't get into Stoke's 11. Evans? Relegated with West Brom, why would we want him here? Some people never learn. Will AMN work out? Maybe, maybe not. But his not getting into another side has little bearing on whether he will fulfill his purpose here. 9

We were never going to sign a Striker in January. No club would sell a striker that is in form and if they werent inform we wouldnt want him anyway. 1
LCFCABC Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Surely the only question here is... Is he better then Gray? I'd suggest yes is the answer to that. 1

Yes, you are of course correct, those finances fall into differing 'buckets'. The issue with a striker is a concerning one, but we have made several cock-ups already (Slim, Nacho) so hope our targets are being extensively evaluated and we move in the Summer, but the pandemic must impact finances

If it was as black and white as that then i would understand your argument. I don't think January is the time to make huge buys. Where fees are inflated based on clubs situations. If Rodgers thinks AMN would be a good addition to the squad then bring him in and lets see. I just hope it doesn't impact on Dewsbury Hall as i think he could be a valuable player for us.

We haven't got one wrong in a while and you have to trust the club and the scouts.

Finn Claw II Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 I can’t see him starting - he is useful cover / cup games. if I was him I’d go to club where I would play ever week which won’t be here. happy to have him but I don’t see it happening

Tuna Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Would be a decent signing, happy if we get this one done.
UniFox21 Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 One thing for me is that he's a decently rated young player who thinks his career will advance coming to Leicester rather than staying at Arsenal. Who'd have thought that would happen?
