Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

How much is being mooted for AMN?

 

[Lanolin]

Maitland Niles is all sorts of average. I just don't see what he would give us that we don't already have.

 

[McCallsVolley]

He wanted to play CM but was a better RB at the time. Seems like hes settled at RB then...all depends on the fee. Can play in a few positions. Works ok.

 

[Bebeto]

I mean, some of them might indeed pan out, but on paper its not that impressive. I like young players, but you have two 20 year olds from the belgian league. Expecting ANY real contribution from that massive jump up(at their age) is very optimistic. Mandava hasnt been a starter for years. Adingra and Diarra are probably the competent ones they got, and I think theyd need at least 3 more GOOD signings to chance staying up.

They have done a lot more than us so far...as of today, they have a much better squad than we have.

Also seems a short term option at rb and next season would be looking to upgrade on again

He’s certainly versatile Maitland-Niles… in that he’s very average in a variety of positions

He’s actually very solid and dependable. You wouldn’t see him laying goals on a plate like we saw from Patterson on Saturday put it that way.

When we have such a small squad, having a player that can play right back, right midfield and centre midfield would be valuable. It’s not a sexy signing, but a sensible one IF there’s truth to it.

We’re not signing five or six players for 20/30/40 million.

You could argue he’d be a more shrewd signing than Tete even though Tete was a free. Niles is rarely ever injured unlike the Fulham man.

In the meantime roma gets wesley...I know which one i prefer. It seems roma gets first choice on players.

Roma under the Friedkins signed Maitland-Niles once already, on loan though back in 2022

Sunderland? No they really don’t.

Rather have Ainsley Harriott than him.

I did see that quite a lot when he was at Arsenal actually. Maybe he’s improved.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Weirdly I don’t hate this if the price is sane.

Christ! Unless he's thrown in as part of the conditions of signing Fofana, steer well clear.

A right back who isn’t Nathan Patterson?

[Neiler]

Did our scouts get half price tickets and comped scram at Lyon the last couple of seasons.
