Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Wasn't he involved in a car crash in London 2 weeks ago

Would rather have Ainsley Harriott

A right back that doesn't want to play right back and wants to play centre mid - 2 positions we don't need players in

I wouldn’t be so sure that we won’t need another CM by the time the window is up.

This is the perfect visual metaphor for how I feel about this signing.

In an ideal world I'm thinking that if you had 2 Soumare's with Tielemans in the middle of them, one right footed and one left then that'd be good for me. Its unbalanced with Tielemans always on that left side. Like American football 🏈 when they're protecting the thrower until the last minute.

[urban.spaceman]

No.

[Adam_LCFC]

What a pointless player he would be to sign, probably one of the positions we need the least is right back

I just can't see any reason why we would want him, makes no sense at all to me. 

[filbertway]

not a chance are we interested. Basically another Hamza

makes no sense as we're well stacked with full backs and centre midfielders. We'll already have Soumare, Preat, KDH & Mendy competing for game time behind our first choice midfielders, so would be a waste of 15 mill and wages. 

[casablancas]

I think this is just rehashed useless drivel. Or do I hope this is the case? Either way I’m sure Rudders has an ace in his sleeve and this lad certainly ain’t that.

Feel bad saying this as he's probably a really decent lad but if ever there was a perfect example of a player gaining England caps purely based on the team he plays for, then it's AMN.

[st albans fox]

he’s a very good player but he’s not what we need 

[ScrumpyJack]

I know a goalscoring winger is the target but he could definitely balance out the right-wing and contribute to the support phases of play.

[splinterdream]

I think we're trolling Arsenal fans 

[surrifox]

This is the worst ever window for links with terrible time wasters - can’t get rid of Ghezzal and sniffing round the likes of Henderson and A M-N. Makes me nostalgic for days when the worry was that we might accidentally sign Andros Townsend or Vestergaard 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Who doesn’t love a utility player?

Yeah. I’m in that camp. However pretty sure it was just referring to Ainsley who appears to be using a fork. Might be wrong. 

[frany104]

Absolutely not. Bog standard player and someone we should be nowhere near. 

[Finnegan]

Ffs we're not signing him. 

 

We were just desperate and he was a potential loan option. For Christ sakes we even considered Chalobah.

I was quite up for this in January but the few times I saw him in midfield for the Baggies made my mind up for good. He’s not going to start games for a top 6 side in any position. So no!

[HybridFox]

He would be a replacement for someone like Amartey and nothing else 

[alanf0x]

On par with Hamza. Get rid!
