Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Is this real?

Sky saying we have agreed a deal for Maitland Niles

Remember, we aren't going to get anyone, were going to wait to get the one we want at right back....

Curve ball

Not against it all

Mainland angles is 29 and this would be the first time a team have ever paid to sign him

Hahaha

Probably an ok signing to be fair.

So, not using a player twice, in terms of where they can cover:

ST: Barry Balogun
LW: Grealish*, George
RW: Johnson, Dibling
AM: KDH (he's gonna play every minute of every game)
CM: Garner, Armstrong
DM: Norgaard, Hackney
LB: Myko
CB: Branthwaite, Tarks, OBrien, Keane
RB: Maitland-Niles*, Rohl
GK: Pickford (similar to KDH)

* = TBC
Deffo still need a fullback i reckon.
Not seen loads of him, but also think Hackney may struggle to play most games as our deepest midfielder. More likely Garner drops back and then its Hackney or Armstrong in the middle

[Audrey Horne]

Be happy with him tbh

[Silas]

What a random signing, but better than a lot of what we've been linked with. This could be a very good transfer window by the end, but fuck knows if any of it aside from Hackney and George was planned.

Is it 2021?

Fine with Maitland-Niles, and in a way fine if it turns out we've been trying our best to get a higher quality RB all summer and are now falling back on Plan B knowing we would still have options such as AMN and Tete at the end of the window.

I know our approach seems fucking horrible to the end of this window, but fuck me is it exciting

One minute we're selling our prized academy graduate, next thing it's not happening and we're selling Ndaiye to Spurs of all people, and buying Richarlison for an eye watering amount. Next thing Ndaiye's going to City and we're getting Grealish and Balogun.

Everyone hates the Tete deal but accepted it was happening, then that's dead in the water and we're buying Maitland-Niles for half the Tete fee.

My brain hurts but it's also nice to have a deadline day where we've spent the last week knowing we're just going with what we've got!

I think you are giving them way too much credit.

They're all over the shop.

I think it's more like plan Z, but don't say things if you don't then back it up
