Lighthouse Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 I haven’t seen much of him but I’m guessing the plan is to play him next to Lavia with JWP further forward. Can anyone elaborate on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 He's a good player, adds to the profile of player we've added this summer - athletic, quick, physical etc. The added bonus is that he can cover wing back if required, but I imagine we'll primarily use him in CM what with Romeu gone - but he does give us some great depth all across the middle third of the team. A clever addition imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 Strengthens CM and RB mainly. Hopefully a good signing. Should go straight in if Lavia is out against Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farawaysaint Posted 1 September, 2022 Share Posted 1 September, 2022 He’s got a fair amount of International and European experience at 25 and is versatile I guess? Solid loan all things considered, I am excited to see him work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurosaint Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 I know quite a few Arsenal supporters and having asked their views on him, they were all very positive 👍 One guy in particular (whose judgement I respect) says that he really has been mucked about and under-used by recent managers so hopefully he'll do a good job for us.. His versatility should be a major plus as well !! Good window.. Good signing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis1947 Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 I have a good friend who has been an Arsenal season ticket holder for many years and in a chat with him today, he confirmed what others have said on here about Maitland-Niles. That he is a big,strong, effective player who had been messed about a bit by Arteta. It seems the two had disagreements on how and wehere he might pay and he seemed to have fallen away on Arsenals books. I think he could be a very important signing for us as he adds some physicality and athleticism and can play in mid-field as a defensive unit and aslo cover both full back positions. It looks as though Lavia will be out for at least 6 weeks with a hamstring and the obvious thought is that this guy can go straight into the sdie at Wolves to take his place. However, knowing Ralphs previous reluctance to select players who have only recently joined, I'm not too confident that this will happen. We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waylander Posted 2 September, 2022 Share Posted 2 September, 2022 This mirrors what my Gooner nephew said. Sounds like a massively good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 3 September, 2022 Share Posted 3 September, 2022 He might end up not getting enough game time to want to sign for us permanently, although I'd hope Ralph would learn from his overusing Lavia and rotate a bit more once he's back to full fitness. With 5 subs we should be looking to make one at half time every game to give players a decent rest on a rotational business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurj Posted 3 September, 2022 Share Posted 3 September, 2022 Yep. Don't know much about this guy, but fingers crossed he is as good as some say If Mara can score some goals this season, then we could be a top ten side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
